Steve Hackett To Watch The Storms Vinyl LP

To Watch the Storms finds Steve Hackett in full creative bloom — a richly textured, eclectic prog‑rock album that moves between pastoral acoustic passages, theatrical art‑rock, and intricate instrumental work. Originally released in 2003, this 2023 European 2×180g vinyl reissue brings renewed warmth and clarity to one of Hackett’s most colourful and imaginative solo records.

Featuring contributions from long‑time collaborators and guest players including Ian McDonald and John Hackett, the album blends folk, jazz, classical, and progressive elements into a vivid, story‑driven sequence. A beautifully presented reissue for collectors of modern prog and Hackett’s expansive solo catalogue.
