This is an absolutely stunning album. Clearly one of his best. Although there are a few numbers that require multiple listens (what's wrong with that?!), the bulk of the album is instantly accessible and hauntingly beautiful. Standout tracks include: Strutton Ground, This World, Rebecca, Wind, Sand and Stars (wonderful--I wish it was longer), The Moon Under Water, Brand New, Serpentine Song, If You Only Knew, and Come Away.I take issue with a previous reviewer's comments questioning Mr. Hackett's artistic integrity. While there are certainly some similarities between "Mechanical Bride" and "21st Century Schizoid Man" (which I'm sure was intended), by no means is MB a {take-off} of the King Crimson song. MB is entirely original.As with all Hackett albums, the range of guitar playing is incredible. What a talent. A thoroughly enjoyable disk that will only get better with age. Well done on every level.
