Steve Hackett - Darktown - album thread (25th anniversary)

Twice around the sun (by a huge margin!), Jane Austin's door, and In memoriam. After voting, I see whoever else beat me to it voted for the same 3 tracks!

1. The Golden Age of Steam -- Some people may not like this (I've even heard someone say it "should have been left on the cutting room floor"), but it's my clear favorite on the album. An unexpected style with a wonderful sense of suspense throughout.

3. Dreaming with Open Eyes

I mulled over "Steam" for a few seconds, only just missed my top 3. This is exactly the sort of left field thing that made Steve's stuff stand out. Oh, if only those days were back............

Twice around the sun

An outstanding track !!!

I also like the title track and „Golden age of steam“

For me it's "Rise again", "Twice around the sund" and "In Memoriam"

The title track and "Days of long ago" are also great.

Overall a more than solid album.
