Cured - Steve Hackett - LP - Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 21days)

Released in 1981, 'Cured' captures Steve Hackett at a crossroads between his progressive rock roots and his growing fascination with accessible, melodic songwriting. As the former Genesis guitarist, Hackett was already revered for his adventurous compositions, but 'Cured' finds him stepping boldly into the role of lead vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, shaping a sound that is both personal and exploratory. The album’s leaner arrangements—partly a consequence of Hackett recording much of it at home with just keyboardist Nick Magnus—create an intimate listening experience that still brims with invention. 'Cured' stands out for its artful blend of shimmering pop sensibilities and progressive flourishes, with tracks like 'Hope I Don’t Wake' and 'Overnight Sleeper' revealing Hackett’s knack for memorable melodies and atmospheric detail. This is an album for listeners who appreciate musicianship that never overshadows emotional resonance. For fans of Genesis, solo prog, or anyone curious about the evolution of art rock in the early ‘80s, 'Cured' offers a rewarding listen—one that bridges the experimental and the accessible without ever losing its sense of adventure.
