NOW AVAILABLE IN A REMASTERED VERSION WITH BONUS TRACKS!!
Steve's first solo album from 1975 and quite the masterpiece it is. With Mike Rutherford and Phil Collins onboard this can be seen as the musical missing link between The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, A Trick Of The Tail and even Brand X's Unorthodox Behavior. I'm not even sure where to begin - this is one of the greatest prog albums of all time. You have dreamy vocals from Sally Oldfield, glorious Mellotron, Steve's trademark sustained leads, John Hackett's flute. I can't imagine someone hearing Shadow Of The Heirophant and not being affected by it. It's simply a brilliant performance - nothing more to say.
This new edition comes with two bonus cuts - a live version of "Ace Of Wands" from a gig in 1979 as well as a previously unknown to exist 17 minute version of "Shadow Of The Hierophant".
