CD ReviewsAmazing live treatments from Hackett & band L. Williams | Clearwater, FL, USA | 11/14/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "A friend of mine returned from England with this double CD of Hackett's performance in Japan as a gift. Except for an overly long drum solo on one of the tracks, this double-disc set is one that you can play several times in a row without getting tired of the material. I personally love the sweeping, orchestral feeling of the majority of the songs, and it is the best version of "Watcher of the Skies" I've ever heard. The mix of band members from various prog groups is top notch. This was my first introduction to Hackett after his departure from Genesis, and I've been trying to find albums that match up to it in intensity. This is definitely one of my all-time top favorite "desert island" discs." Pure Hackett - Honest Rock Jose Mario Serra | Sao Paulo, Brazil | 11/29/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "This live album from Steve Hackett, remind us about some monolithic gemstones of 70's & 80's Prog Rock. The guest musicians add a kind of "jam-session" dressing. In few words, a very good work from one the ever best 6 and 12 string acoustic guitar players. And if you're a Genesis or King Crimson fan, this double-disc album is a very good acquisition for your collection. Good music for every hour!" TOKIO TAPES? No! LIMA TAPES, porque Mr.Hackett vino a Perú francisco cruzado coca | Lima, Peru | 07/11/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Tokio Tapes (1999) supera con creces a Time Lapse, como cuando se reúne con sus viejos compañeros de Génesis para la edición de Genesis Archives. Las contribuciones sonoras de Steve Hackett a la guitarra son muchas, entre ellas el temprano uso de la técnica del tapping ocho años antes que lo popularizara Eddie Van Halen, el lograr efectos percutivos con la guitarra, así como su famoso "sonido fantasmal", todo ello mucho antes de que se pensara en la guitarra sintetizador, y por supuesto, ni se pensaba en MIDI. El Hackett compositor es de polendas al incorporar armonías clásicas en un contexto de rock, gestando así la rama progresiva en la guitarra, junto a Jan Akkerman, Robert Fripp y Steve Howe, entre otros. En Lima encontré a un Steve Hackett inspirado en el Peru mistico y cuando viví su extraordinario concierto me pareció vivir este CD "Live in Japan"."
