At the Edge of Light continues that winning streak with mind-bending melodic playing, ambitiously thoughtful music and lyrics and daringly progressive production. The album title illustrates the idea that the world is on the edge of falling in a dark place or that we can discover a way out where conflicts, war could leave the place to peace and love. Steve is trying to bring with his music light into this world that contains elements of shadow and light. First off, the production is perfect from the first note, this not amateur recording. Steve Hackett has had the longest-running solo career of any member of Genesis. What’s more fascinating is that the guitar god has consistently produced high quality, progressive recordings.
