The only person who may beat me to this is JohnG. We both will be in for the 5.1 mix. :ohyes:

Description
As implied in the title, The Night Siren is a wake-up call... the warning of a siren sounding in this era of strife and division.

The Night Siren showcases Steve's incredible guitar playing as strongly as ever, along with regular Hackett collaborators and also musicians from several different countries who Steve invited to join him in celebrating multicultural diversity and unity. This includes singers from Israel and Palestine, who both actively campaign to bring Jewish and Arabic people together. There are also instrumentals from the USA and Iraq and a multiplicity of sounds, including the exotic strains of Indian sitar and Middle Eastern tar and oud, the ethnic beauty of the Peruvian charango and the haunting Celtic Uilleann pipes.

The album features: Steve Hackett (guitar & vocals), Roger King (keyboards & programming), Nad Sylvan (vocals on Inca Terra), Rob Townsend (all things wind), John Hackett (flute), Amanda Lehmann (vocals), Gary O'Toole (drums), and Benedict Fenner (additional keyboards & programming). Also featured are singers Kobi and Mira (Israeli and Palestinian), Nick D'Virgilio (drums) from the USA, Malik Mansurov (Tar) from Azerbaijan & Gulli Breim (drums & percussion) from Iceland. Additional musicians who add to the rich flavour of the album are Christine Townsend (violin & viola), Dick Driver (double bass), Troy Donockley (Celtic Uilleann) and Leslie Bennett (keyboards on The Gift).

There is a Special Edition CD/BD (Blu-ray) edition with the album also available on 5.1 Surround tracks. The video portion of the Blu-ray disc will feature a ‘making of’ documentary.

We heard 3 cuts from the new album last night at the PlayStation Theater and loved them all. They got a great reaction from the audience.

Even the band members thanked Steve for his wonderful music. :thumbsup:

Playing the 5.1 Blu-ray right now. Glad to see Hackett doing more vocals. What a talented guy. Another great addition in my Hackett collection. I'm sure John seconds that.

Get ready to grit your teeth: not one but two extra tracks on the Japanese version, which is also a mini-LP package and an SHM disc: "After the Ordeal" and "Jazz On a Summer's Night."

This photo is very "Seconds Out" which of course was Steve's final march for Genesis. And one of the finest live albums ever.

Thanks, looks like the one for me to get is the domestic with the Blu-Ray.

Steve Hackett at Disneyland 1973.

A courier service tried to deliver my japanese SHM-cd yesterday but I wasn't home so hopefully I can get it today.

Lots of different styles, lots of great songs. This one of Steve's stronger efforts!

Picked up my Japanese SHM-CD the other day from the post office and once again the japanese knock it out of the park with packaging and of course adding two more songs.

I have added — and then twice removed — this from my existing basket at CD Japan where I have some pre-orders conveniently delaying the shipment and my being charged; I'm terrible at decisions and money's tight right now. I've heard the :30 samples of the two bonus tracks, but am having problems justifying $25 for two songs, unless they're really "album quality" fantastic. Thoughts on the two extra songs (and anyone else who has them, please weigh in as well?

Additionally I really don't care for the mini-LP covers with the sticky plastic flap outer covers which get stuck to the artwork, lyric sheets etc. etc.. I much prefer jewel cases or at least digipaks with a plastic tray and was hoping when this "limited" SHM version is gone, it'll come out in a regular CD package format, hopefully with the two bonus tracks, if they are indeed worth picking up.
