 The production by Geoff Downes isn’t, in my opinion, among the best: and it shows.

 Both boast a strong artistic personality which they express very expansively... both were too similar to coexist for long.

GTR's 1986 self-titled album was a bold attempt by guitar legends Steve Howe and Steve Hackett to merge progressive and AOR styles amid the rise of electronic music. The project features skilled musicianship with inventive guitar work but suffers from uneven production and weak lyrics. Despite some chart success for singles like "When The Heart Rules The Mind," the album's complex fusion and costly production led to the project's quick end. It remains a unique and somewhat controversial artifact in rock history. Discover the unique sound of GTR’s 1986 album—listen now and explore the fusion of two guitar legends!
