This Thursday a 4 pm please welcome Steve Hackett and Steve Rothery to Captain Phil's Planet as we preview and discuss their new collaborative album titled, "The Roaring Waves."

Hackett on The Roaring Waves:
“I suspect that most guitarists tend to make albums where people try to outplay each other and show their chops to an enormous degree. I'll be very interested to see what the reaction is from fans. If you're expecting something typically proggy, I don't think this is it. It's more cinematic, almost ambient at times”.

Waves has been in the making for the best part of eight years, though the initial idea of the pair making an album together was first mooted around three years before that, but their respective day jobs and touring itineraries kept them from working together for months at a time. Though recording sessions at the Racket Club, and their respective home studios yielded a rich seam of creativity.

“It was a bit old school our approach, like the idea of mates getting together in the garage and playing and hanging out.”
