3.0 out of 5 stars Drums Overload, January 11, 2005

Following an acoustic album, "Bay Of Kings", see my review, Steve Hackett kept us guessing with this offering. Although not a favourite of mine it does have some high points. Recorded in Brazil, with I believe mostly local musicians, Steve seems to be unsure where this is going and the drums are very much to the forefront, although he clearly intended this. Standout tracks are "Let Me Count The Ways", a bluesy number, not really revisited until "Blues With A Feeling" some years later. "The Rio Connection" and "Duel" which chugs along and certainly recalls the Spielberg film which it is dedicated to. Tracks like "What's My Name" and "Myopia" don't really go anywhere for me, and the closing track "When You Wish Upon A Star" the Disney standard is very pleasant, but seems out of place on this album. A bit of a hit and miss affair, but one has to say that the musicianship is excellent as always on a Hackett album.

This CD has been remastered and two new songs have been added. The sound quality is greatly increased. Recorded in Rio, with local artist, it fuses incredible electric guitar with a Brazillian Carnival flavor. The bonus tracks are several years newer, but fit right in, and are an absolute must for any Hackett fan. Also, two of the original tracks have been extended. Compared to other Hackett CD's, this one is definitely above average.

5.0 out of 5 stars Are You A Good Guitarist?, September 19, 2002

Then you should listen to "Myopia." A percussionist? Check out "What's My Name" and "The Rio Connection." Blues guitarists should take in "Let Me Count The Ways." And for anyone who remembers lullabys, drift off to "Taking The Easy Way Out." This album has many different forms, all stirred with a latin feel. Very original for its time and it still holds up well. It's great fun.
