John és Steve Hackett: Sketches of Satie című Erik Satie feldolgozásokat tartalmazó albuma a Gramy-H Kft. gondozásában kiadásra került 180g-os audiofil vinyl lemezen is. Az analóg hangzás szerelmeseinek igazi csemege a CD teljes anyagát tartalmazó 49 perces korong.
Erik Satie varázslatos zenéjét Steve Hackett hangszerelte át akusztikus gitárra és fuvolára. A Gnossienne és a Gymnopédie darabokat hallgatni mai zaklatott, dübörgő világunkban nyugtató felüdülés, különösen lemezjátszóról. Hackett és bakelit rajongóknak kötelező.

The vinyl version of the “Sketches of Satie” album from 2000 Limited edition.
“…John and I had long talked about a project involving Satie’s music. Would it require an orchestra or could we use the full tonal range of our own two favoured instruments to create a sound canvas worthy of the keyboard-based writing? Either way it would be a return to our musical roots when we first became aware of ‘Atmospheric’ music, brave enough to remain rhythmically static yet all the more poignant precisely because of that ‘held-back’ quality. There always was a love of music in the family home but not specifically the ‘Classical’ tradition – I’d say we found our way to this music ourselves without being pushed. For us, Satie was definitely a man ahead of his time. Unlikely modulations abound and the Minimalists were to take from him as would Jazz, and where would ‘Ambient’ music be without his example?
I can’t fully describe my delight and joy that the sessions went so well and that the album, long overdue, is now complete. I may be sticking my neck out here but I don’t believe John has ever sounded in finer form, he was obviously born to play Satie – as I am sure you’ll agree!
