#mayvinylchallenge 2024 by @jennn_erator day 1. Voyage Of The Acolyte (1975) is also known as "the best album Genesis never made".
Steve Hackett's first solo album is also my first vinyl purchase as far as I remember (could as well be King Crimson's Discipline or Ace Frehley's Comet). Found this copy on a flee market on a local music festival - @pfingstopenairessen 1999- and the album's atmosphere is really really special. That's if you like dreamy folk prog with lots of flute and mellotron, and -of course- GUITAR!
Fun fact: most of the actual Genesis line up played on this album as Phil Collins played the (amazing!) drums and sang Star Of Sirius while Mike Rutherford was playing the bass guitar. So it's basically Genesis without Tony Banks and Peter Gabriel, playing Steve's music and this is exactly what it sounds like.
I love this album since I first listened to it 25 years ago.
