It’s taken flautist John Hackett about a decade to flesh out a concept he nurtured for a long time. “Another Life” is a title of his new album, scheduled for September 25th, but a song that gives the record its theme appeared in Hackett’s live repertoire as early as 2006. Since then, a single composition turned into a suite of sorts, a rumination on our real and possible existence, with ideas being carried over between various pieces. For the realization of it all, John enrolled familiar – or even familial – faces: brother Steve, another ex-GENESIS guitarist Anthony Phillips and the Hacketts’ former colleague Nick Magnus. A little prog event, this album follows another reedman’s release on Esoteric, “Transgression” by Theo Travis.
