Customer Reviews of Darktown
Dark yet beautiful; technical masterpiece; one of his best! Don't let the first two songs throw you (though they are great guitar pieces, they're not typical of the rest of the recording). This is an incredible recent recording from Steve Hackett, showing maturity but still having power and creativity behind it. I have been a Genesis and Steve Hackett fan for over 25 years and this is the best discovery I've made in the last ten of those years. This guy knows how to use a guitar in more ways than I thought possible, yet it's not a "Guitar Album" because it's well balanced. Even Steve's singing has gotten better (never was great, either he's improved or fixed it with new mixing tools).
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for Genesis fans and other serious musicians.
Updated prog
This 1998 recording is a solid piece of work. Hackett has updated his sound so that it comes across as being quite relevant as the last millenium came to an end. It has, at times, a somewhat industrial sound particularly with the drums but is balanced by enough warmth to avoid a cold off-putting sound. This is a creative, reflective and yes, dark recording. Hackett has never sounded better as a vocalist. In fact, on the one cut where Jim Diamond sings it comes across as somewhat disappointing as his style just doesn't suit the music as well as Hackett's. His guitar work, as always, is terrific. Where Ian McDonald makes an enjoyable appearance on sax it is brief. Overall, this is a highly enjoyable disc one well worth buying...Simon
A Mature Steve Hackett Produces His Best Work Yet
Twenty-nine years of growth in his composition, technique and arrangements have produced this, Steve Hackett's best work to date. This artist is much more than a musician yet his musicianship is unmatched. Over the years, he has written some of the most captivating music of any genre. Steve's work carries the listener away, as music is meant to do. It is impossible to say "Darktown" is his best work, because his work is all good. But it is his newest, and certainly his most mature. It is his best. Thank you, Steve. Be happy.
