Biography

Steve Hackett abandoned his plans for a career as a harmonica player when he joined Genesis in late 1971. With Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks, he enjoyed phenomenal success, with 1973’s Selling England By The Pound and 1974’s concept album The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway gaining “Classic Album” status.

5.0 out of 5 stars Steve Hackett solo gem, May 2, 2003
This review is from: Momentum (Audio CD)
Momentum is an absolute gem of a record â€" mostly classical solo guitar, but also a number of tracks with keyboard and flute. It’s mainly quiet music, perfect for Sunday mornings or as harmonious background music for when your parents come and visit. Genes is fans will delight in Steve's exquisite acoustic work, much of which is reminiscent of his Wind and Wuthering period (Blood on the Rooftops, Unquiet Slumber for the Sleepers). Great compositions (Concert for Munich is a stunner) beautifully played. Romantic stuff...

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Guitar since invention, January 14, 2000
By 
This review is from: Momentum (Audio CD)
Hackett has captured so many pictures, ideas, landscapes, emotions, and more in just the simple strumming of a classical acoustic guitar. Combined with his brother on flute in Calvacanti he expresses such deep sentiments that only composers such as himself can realize. A true master of the art, this CD brings him to another level altogether.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you like Bay of Kings, you'll like this one, June 18, 2001
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Momentum (Audio CD)
A good follow up to Bay of Kings (in fact, this one and Bay of Kings makes a very good 2 CD set). Very mellow, original classical style music from a great guitarist. Hackett has such a feel for all styles of guitar and is successful in this effort in communicating his love for music and his instrument. Simple production ... just the guitar and a few complementary instruments ... only a master musician could pull it off. Hackett does.

I really like Hackett's progressive/electric side, but I am appreciating more his versatility of late. If you only like the harder/progressive side of Hackett or if you have no love for classical guitar, don't get this one.

If you like very good original classical style guitar, try this one for sure.
