Steve Hackett Wild Orchids [Special Edition] Release Date: 2006 09 12 Label: Inside Out Music Wild Orchids marks the return of the former Genesis and GTR guitarist to his progressive rock roots. If 2005's Metamorpheus was Steve Hackett's ultimate classical record, then Orchids is his art rock flagship. Fans of the genre will look upon this 13-track collection -- a heady mix of David Gilmour, Adrian Belew, Yanni, and Future-era Leonard Cohen -- as a template for excess, but for those who still reserve an upper-level seat in the stadium of their hearts for silly narration ("Down Street"), extended blues jams ("Blue Child"), THRAK-era King Crimson-inspired arena rockers ("Ego and Id"), Dixieland interludes ("Why"), or heavily orchestrated Dylan covers ("Man in the Long Black Coat), then this impeccably crafted, surprisingly playful, and alternately wince-inducing and beautiful barrage of superior musicianship should inspire the flickering flames of a thousand lighters. [Wild Orchids was also released in a Special Edition containing four bonus tracks.] James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide Tracks: Title Composer Time 1 Transylvanian Express [*] Glück, King, Hackett 3:44 2 Waters of the Wild Hackett, King 5:34 3 Set Your Compass Hackett, Hackett 3:37 4 Down Street King, Hackett 7:33 5 Girl Called Linda Hackett 4:44 6 Blue Child [*] Hackett 4:24 7 To a Close Hackett 4:48 8 Ego and Id Clabburn, Hackett 4:08 9 Man in the Long Black Coat Dylan 5:07 10 Cedars of Lebanon [*] Hackett 4:01 11 Wolfwork Hackett 4:49 12 Why Hackett :47 13 She Moves in Memories Hackett 5:00 14 Fundamentals of Brainwashing Hackett 3:00 15 Howl Hackett 4:30 16 Dark Night in Toytown Glück, Hackett, King 3:42 17 Until the Last Butterfly [*] Hackett 2:28 Releases: Year Type Label 2006 CD Inside Out Music 2008 CD Second Skin
