"Is it me, or does the mix on this recording get substantially better three or four songs into it?"
Not sure. I'll give it a listen again when I have a chance and see.
A couple things about Steve Hackett recordings I have found.
- He is one artist I tend to enjoy most performing live, be it on DVD or CD audio only. I find he tends to improve on his original studio recording mixes and productions live in general.
His studio CDs have some wonderful sound and lots of interesting things to listen to if you have a system capable of delivering it. If not, a lot is lost.
HE is a fantastic guitarist and a most talented composer. You never know quite what to expect on Hacket's albums. HE is also dabbling and experimenting.
He has a new studio recording "Out of the Tunnel's Mouth" out within the last couple months that I have not heard yet but need to pick up ASAP.
