Review:
Spectral Mornings is a masterpiece and Hackett's best album next to "Voyage…". The opening track "Every Day"
features a catchy theme and a long and delightful guitar-solo that was his best since "Firth of Fifth".
"Clocks" is a sinister instrumental-track with Mellotron and a dramatic guitar-theme, stuffed with the sounds of lot
of ticking clocks made on guitar and percussion!
The whimsical "Ballad of the Decomposing Man" shows Hackett from
his most humours and least serious side, while the guitar/flute-based instrumental "Lost Time in Cordoba" is Hackett
in his most atmospheric and mystical mood.
"Virgin and the Gypsy" is a pleasant and beautiful vocal-track with more excellent flute-playing. "Tigermoth" features
a long and dark instrumental-part with a atmosphere quite similar to "Clocks". The China-influenced "The Red Flower
of Tachai Blooms Everywhere" is another beautiful, symphonic and atmospheric theme, and the albums ends in a striking way
with the mighty title-track. It sounds just so emotional and…well, BIG!.
When it comes to feeling, few other guitarists can match Hackett. WHAT a great artist. "Spectral Mornings" is the best
progressive rock album from 1979. Review from Vintageprog.com
