The Special Edition of Steve's new studio album Wild Orchids containing 4 extra tracks!
After 2003’s acclaimed rock album To Watch The Storms and its classical successor Metamorpheus from 2005, Steve now presents Wild Orchids, an album that is in many ways a synthesis of its predecessors
Steve surpasses even the diversity of style and mood found on Storms and at the same time presents an even more homogenous album
"Each album is an adventure. A search for a place without boundaries where cultures collide in order to influence one another..."
The album integrates a classical element on a much grander scale than ever before. But is it still rock? As Steve says, “Rock gets 'bigger' when you add an orchestra” and this is exactly what he did!
In addition to regular Hackett 'acolytes' Roger King, John Hackett, Rob Townsend, Gary O’Toole and others who previously contributed to Storms, Steve also utilised his Underworld Orchestra, with whom he recorded Metamorpheus
"The Orchid is famous as a cultivated flower, but when grown in the wild the perfume seems stronger and sweeter…"
Special Edition Features:
4 extra tracks (compared to standard edition)
