Hackett explains: “My love for classical guitar began to merge with “Bay of Kings” and “Momentum”, which showed another side of the guitar. This was the opposite of Rock 'n Roll… A more romantic and personal already insinuated into Genesis' music and my solo work. I'm proud that these albums are getting a second lease on life.”

came out in 1983, but his record label at the time, Charisma, refused to release the album considering it non-commercial and it was initially released on the Lamborghini label. It was later released on Hackett's Camino Records with a different cover. While
