Highly Strung
After Leaving Genesis in 1977, Steve Hackett Went on to Release a Staggering Amount of Solo Works, as Well as Collaborating on Further Genesis Albums and Briefly Forming the Supergroup Gtr with Yes Guitarist Steve Howe. Long-regarded as on of the Leading Progressive Rock Guitarists of his Generation, Hackett Still Records and Tours Constantly. In 1981, Hackett Released 'cured', an Album which Many Fans Thought was a More Commercially Orientated Sound. It Split Fans Opinions and Marked a Change in Direction to a More 'studio-based' Pop Approach. The Charisma Label at that Time were Looking for USA Hits which is One of the Reasons that Hackett Cites as Why Some of the Tracks have a 'west Coast' Feel to Them. After the Two-man Team on 'cured', Drummer Ian Mosley Appeared Prior to his Tenure with Marillion on Hackett's Next 1983 Album 'highly Strung'. The Album Produced the Popular Single "Cell 151" and Went on to Become his Most Successful Project Since 'spectral Mornings'.
