简介： 史蒂夫·哈基特： 1950年2月12日出生于英国，歌手，吉他手，词曲作家 Genesis顶盛时期的吉他手（1970-1977），一共参与录制了Genesis六个录音室专辑，三个现场录音专辑 也曾和Yes的Steve Howe于1986组过队，乐队同名专辑单曲之一“When the Heart Rules the Mind”于当年打入了Billboard前20的排名 可惜第二年乐队就解散了。之后专注于个人专辑的录制，曲风广泛，前卫摇滚，世界民谣等，包括亚欧非国家的民谣，79年的专辑里我甚至听到了中国风(琵琶)，影响了世界上许多吉他手 Steve Hackett于2010作为Genesis的成员受邀参加摇滚名人堂的颁奖典礼 Steve Hackett结过三次婚，现任妻子Jo Hackett曾作为乐队成员参与了专辑的录制，还有巡演 2012年也曾和Yes乐队的成员Chris Squire组成“Squackett ”乐队，并录制了“A Life Within a Day”专辑 Guitar virtuoso and rock legend, Steve Hackett (formerly of Genesis), releases his latest album The Night Siren on 24th March 2017 through InsideOut Music (Sony). As implied in the title, The Night Siren is a wake-up call... the warning of a siren sounding in this era of strife and division. The Night Siren showcases Steve's incredible guitar playing as strongly as ever, along with regular Hackett collaborators and also musicians from several different countries who Steve invited to join him in celebrating multicultural diversity and unity. This includes singers from Israel and Palestine, who both actively campaign to bring Jewish and Arabic people together. There are also instrumentals from the USA and Iraq and a multiplicity of sounds, including the exotic strains of Indian sitar and Middle Eastern tar and oud, the ethnic beauty of the Peruvian charango and the haunting Celtic Uilleann pipes. Steve is widely travelled, making friends everywhere he goes and has always embraced multicultural diversity. In these times of unrest, he has been inspired to express his belief that the world needs more empathy and unity. His wish to involve a range of musical sounds, instruments, musicians and singers from different parts of the world is both a development of his eclectic approach to music and shows how people can be brought together, even from war torn regions. Talking about his latest work, Steve says, "This latest waxing represents a bird's eye view of the world of a musical migrant ignoring borders and celebrating our common ancestry with a unity of spirit, featuring musicians, singers and instruments from all over the world. From territorial frontiers to walled-up gateways, boundaries often hold back the tide. But while the night siren wails, music breaches all defences. To quote Plato, 'When the music changes, the walls of the city shake'." The musical journey takes us from 'Behind the Smoke', focusing on the plight of refugees throughout the ages, to the penultimate track 'West to East' which reflects on the damage of war and the hope for a better world. From personal to universal, the themes celebrate the life force, breaking free from chains of repression. 曲目： 01. Behind the Smoke 02. Martian Sea 03. Fifty Miles from the North Pole 04. El Niño 05.
