I’ll be completely honest with you, I have no
idea what I’m looking at, nor who Nad is! I’m just amazed by the artistic liberties taken in the cover, and by the reaction on this thread!
Nad was/is Steve Hackett's vocalist for the Genesis Revisited Concerts,
I'd say Wolflight, while not as good as Shrouded Horizons, is one or two notches above the two rock albums that followed it. For several years I didn't care for it, either, but it has grown on me a lot. You probably have to be in the right mood to appreciate it, I don't know.
I would agree Wolflight is better than the 2 followers, probably as it was not like anything else before it, The other 2, however......................... 
So you are pro-segregation and if you had your choice we non-vaxxed human beings would be what, killed? Round up in a camp and sent away somewhere? Correct me if I'm misunderstanding your sentiment because from here it is quite insulting and honestly frightening.
No, just don't let the unvaccinated travel internationally, attend large events, etc. They've made their choice, rights come with responsibilities, and the unvaccinated have a responsibility to others around them. And as such, the UK government, much too late IMO, are talking about making vaccination a legal requirement for workers in care homes. How can you care for the old and frail when you may be carrying a potentially fatal (to them) virus. Yes, the vaccine doesn't give a 100% guarantee against you being infectious, but it's pretty damn close.
Mu mother is 99 this month. She's had 2 doses, she is fine, as am I, my wife, her sister (in remission from cancer) and everyone else I know who has had one or both jabs. Begs the question: WHAT is frightening? Might I suggest you stop following social media muppets (The majority on there, in my experience) and listen to people who have a clue, like Prof Chris Smith, Prof Linda Bauld, and the like who take time out of their work to explain the science, the stats, and much else, every week on the BBC. There MUST be similar people in the US.
Not much I can do about you feeling insulted, I'm afraid, but as I can't see you changing your views, like Ericm, I'm done with this discussion.
And yet the Trick video isn't on the official YT channel.
All 3 are on "The Video Show" though.
If only they'd hung on then it could've also captured the rage, joy, demons, dreams, nightmares, flames, locust storms, howling shrieks, boiling custard, exploding unicorns and universe-vapourising eyeball-melting armageddon of the new album.
I'm sure it has, cos it covers Wolflight, The Night Siren and At the Edge of Light. 
It pains me to say it, for a New Hackett album used to be the highlight of the year for me, but since BTSH, sadly, it seems he is stuck in a rut, maybe even a tunnel!
I would say the politicalization of the issue has led possibly to more deaths. There have been treatments banned, alternative views and information suppressed, all in the name of making this thing into more of a nightmarish scenario than it should be in reality. I know many folks don't believe this because it isn't "mainstream" thinking, but when freedoms are being quickly eroded it makes me think about the reasons why and what impact will this have on our future, both for us and future generations. And for the record, I am not a pro-Trump person.
Alternative Views and information suppressed? Really? Ever heard of Andrew Wakefield? The UK struck him off as a Doctor because of his dubious claims, all unsubstantiated, about vaccine issues. He (along with many others) is now profiting massively from the anti-vax movement, who strangely, feel the need to sell t-shirts, wristband and the like, to their supporters. Far from suppressed, they are thriving, feeding on the stupidity of people with no scientific background but loads of opinion!
In the US here, Madison Square Garden now has a policy of "no shot, no entry" basically, which means you can't attend any event without proof of a vaccine. This is a very dangerous path as far as I am concerned. This is a path toward segregation of the population which definitely rubs me the wrong way. I hope other venues choose differently.
Segregation? Between those who chose to have the vaccine, and the anti-vaccine muppets. Bring it on. Frankly, if ejecting them from the planet was an option, I'd go for that.
ah - so the acoustic and classical albums are included then. Wasn't sure about that!
They are, up to and including Under a Med Sky!
My burning shed copy was delivered a couple of weeks back. Pretty good so far, I'm up to Midsummer nights dream. Author is Geoffrey Feakes, and he also did the Moody Blues one. It was spot on, but there are a couple of mistakes I've spotted so far. Can't remember what one of them was, but the other was that the Stepp Digital Guitar made it's debut on an album of Steve's on Guitar Nior. Not so. It was used on Momentum, most notably on Concert For Munich. It was also the highlight of the tour for that album.
Wallflower and lay your hands on me, the rest is very uninteresting, to me.
Crowded House - Dreamers Are Waiting
really enjoying this. Great music from down under.
Turn the speakers upside down. It'll sound even better! 
Earlier I was vacuuming, a chore I really detest. It set me thinking: if while the vacuum cleaner was on, and you plugged the unadorned end of the hose over one of your eyes, do you think it would suck your eye out? I mean, obviously it wouldn't totally detach the eye, but maybe it'd dangle out? Perhaps look like the end of Total Recall?
Obviously I didn't try it, nor will I ever but I just wondered if anyone ever has or would be willing to give it a go and report back here. Cheers!
I'd say it would definitely suck the eyeball out, particularly ours. There's an episode of Mythbusters (great programme) where they pick a car up with one. A cleaner will generate a certain negative psi, and with enough surface area, and time, it will apply enough negative pressure to lift it.

The Veteran Cosmic Rockers has been used, to describe The Moody Blues. It must've been pre 1981, cos Ray Thomas wrote the song Veteran Cosmic Rockers as a result of the quote, it closes their 1981 album.
Well whoever described Phil as “balding” clearly hasn’t taken a look at him now, since the “ing” has been redundant for years!
"taken a look at him now"? Sounds like an idea for a song! 
Maybe they think he's related to Claire.
I was slightly surprised (& momentarily worried given his age & health!) to see Phil featuring in the Sky TV News headlines just now, but happily it’s positive: https://news.sky.com/story/the…ral-resurrection-12321389
Love the backhanded compliment in the statement: “The authors said Collins had done himself a favour by failing to reinvent himself.”
Nice to see the mood change at the drums coming in getting a mention too. The single, was, of course, somewhat devalued by Ertigun's (Spelling?) insistance of drums all over the song, but you never hear that version now, even the Hits album has the album version.
We all have our opinion, and here in So Cal Johnson is known as the British Trump. He has let it be known that he has a fascination with Trump. Just as Tony Blair was George W. Bush's puppy dog, Johnson plays into Trump's antics in quite the same way. Johnson's in the same mold as Trump, IMO.
Well, of course, I have to allow for the fact that you are fed by US media outlets. 
You have a point. I can’t understand the weird national obsession with Dominic Cummings, a successful campaigner & unsuccessful political adviser whose enemies seem to think he’s Voldemort. In a real own goal, Channel 4 (one of the many media outlets who get so riled by him) even made a TV drama in which he was played by Benedict Cumberbatch, giving him the sort of cachet associated with genuises like Sherlock Holmes & Alan Turing. Why don’t people just ignore him rather than let themselves get so wound up? It's almost as if it gives them a perverse pleasure..... It's baffling to anyone who doesn't really care about him!
It amuses me that anyone is taking any notice of him. A few months back, he was public enemy no 1, now, people are hanging on the every word of this "fact-established" liar. If you stood near him, I suspect there'd be a faint smell of sour grapes.
Cummings or Hancock? It's not even a contest.
Display MoreCaught a cold the other day, a frothing lefty would somehow want to blame 'Tory scum' for the sequence of events that led to it, me however I'm a grown up, and don't need a pantomime villain to blame for every mishap. I don't need a politician or anyone else to tell me how to live my life, or avoid disease, the less they interfere the better.
The fact that there are inept people in every profession is no surprise. You can blame the figurehead all you like, the truth is there are seams upon seam of ineptitude beneath that, and all oversight, all wisdom has gone.
There was a care home on the news mid pandemic, for the camera's, they staged a how to wash your hands with soap and water party with a group of (wait for it) octogenarions. This is the level we are at, lectured and treated like infants, it would be funny if it was satire.
I'll be passing on spectacle of the the fickle left wing media fawning over Doms tittle-tattle after they spent month after month losing their hinges over a car journey to a castle. Why people waste their life watching and commenting on this infantile nonsense is beyond me. Political commentator must be one of the most useless occupations ever invented, essentially carving a living out of agitating the public with pointless gossip. They'll drag it out like Plebgate of course, 24 hour news must be fed.
Headphones on, 30 mins of do the neurotic followed by a relaxing seconds out sides 3 and 4 I think.
I was gonna wade in, but I think you've covered most of it, near enough anyway.
There needs to be a special prison built to hold Boris Johnson, Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Ted Cruz, and all the scum who have shown that they are willing to be treasonous in order to push their personal agendas at the peril of the citizens of both the United States and Great Britain. The lies they have spewed regarding the coronavirus over the last 15 months have been directly responsible for the deaths of thousands, if not millions of lives, and there are still those people who admire and trust these idiots who had no plan to protect the most vulnerable among us, and ultimately don't care about anyone but themselves. I spit in their face. What bothers me even more is it appears nothing is being done to make sure they pay for their crimes. I did hear this morning though that the Manhattan attorney general is convening a grand jury to perform a criminal investigation into Donald Trump and his family.
Branding Boris as the same as the other 3, and in particular Trump, is a little over-the-top, IMO. Don't like him, but Trump is a whole several layers below him.
The last time SH tried out new things. Loved that album when it came out. From the Genesis family, Steve was my hero back then, because the previous year's Up by PG had been such a disappointment for me. Since then he has become rock music's answer to Woody Allen, releasing the same album again and again (apart from his acoustic work).
While you are right about him becoming "samey", it wasn't from this album, it was after Wolflight. Wild Orchids could perhaps be regarded as similar, but Tunnel's Mouth and Beyond The Shrouded Horizon all covered new ground. I suspect the ending of risk-taking coincided with Wolflight being his first charting album in years, because it was post GR2.
Fave tracks on TWTS? The Brand New/This World/Rebecca/Silk Road suite, which, as I've said before, IMO, are the equal of anything Genesis did after he left. Also Serpentine Song, and Come away.
