Till We Have Faces
Steve Hackett
Till We Have Faces was the result of an extraordinary month spent writing and recording in Brazil. After a week of routining in Petropolis, Steve & I decamped to Somlivre Studio in Rio de Janeiro to record over the following three weeks. Working with the various Brazilian percussionists and musicians proved highly rewarding, memorable and educational.
At last, we put the missing faces to those rather exotic sounding names on the album sleeve.
