Beyond the Shrouded Horizon is the twenty-first studio album by English guitarist and songwriter Steve Hackett.

Contents

Background and recording

"Loch Lomond" is named after the loch of the same name in Scotland. Hackett described the track as blues-influenced which changes to European music once the strings are heard. The lyrics contain many contradictory images, such as a hummingbird in the snow. Though the song contains what sound like bagpipes, Hackett revealed that the sound is in fact a mix of bagpipe samples and a saxophone with the reed "turned around the other way". [2]

<i>Genesis Revisited</i> 1996 studio album by Steve Hackett

Genesis Revisited, called Watcher of the Skies: Genesis Revisited in the US, is the 12th studio album by Steve Hackett, paying tribute to his former band, Genesis. It mainly features songs originally released by Genesis during Hackett's tenure with the group (1971–77). The previously unreleased song "Déjà Vu" was started by Peter Gabriel in 1973 during the Selling England by the Pound sessions but not finished and Hackett completed the song for this album. There are also two new songs, "Valley of the Kings" and "Waiting Room Only"; the latter is named after and loosely inspired by "The Waiting Room", an instrumental from the 1974 Genesis album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. The original Japanese and Argentinian versions of the album have a slightly different track listing and sequence, dropping "Los Endos" and containing one extra song called "Riding the Colossus". Later Japanese reissues of the album contain the same track listing as the standard international versions.
