Album Notes & Community Reviews
Steve Hackett's final studio contribution to the band is a remarkably dense, overwhelmingly keyboard-driven progressive rock epic. Highly inspired by 'Wuthering Heights', 'Wind & Wuthering' establishes a beautifully pastoral, deeply autumnal atmosphere, balancing beautifully soft, highly melodic romanticism with incredibly complex, philosophical symphonic arrangements.
