Ambient Ambiance!


Not too many Yesisms here. The Steve Howe I've ben waiting for. . . but BRILLIANT creative textures.

Spacey, ambient, soothing (not New Agey), amazing.

100 stars.


YES! This is New-Age Steve Howe
To be perfectly honest, I only listened to the thirty second sample tracks of some of his more popular albums. I have always been a big fan of "YES" and Steve Howe so it was only logical to check out some of Steve's solo efforts. I found the five sample tracks of "Skyline" to be the most appealing to me so I decided to take a chance and buy it. What a wise decision I made. Although I have heard slightly better from Steve, this CD will sooth and captivate all but the most picky of critics.
Great music to relax and chill-out to. . . . . . . . . . .

Inmerecidas malas críticas
En este caso, todo el mundo parece estar de acuerdo en que "Skyline" es una obra menor dentro del catálogo de Steve Howe. En ocasiones, una mala (o buena) crítica hecha, en un momento dado, marca para siempre un disco. A mi, por el contrario, me parece un disco excepcional. Tranquilo y lejos de los vertiginosos fraseos que utiliza en Yes, este disco es una auténtica delicia. Catalogar a esto como New Age es hacerle un flaco favor. Darle una oportunidad y escuchad Skyline, vuestros oídos lo agradeceran.


This is not your usual Yes stuff....
He brilliantly plays almost all the instruments (most of which are guitar or other fretted stringed instruments) and layers them in a non-competive way. This is a long over due album form Steve Howe. Although this is a much more ambient style album, it is clearly a musician's album as anyone who takes the guitar serious would thoroughly enjoy his work.


More than just a legendary prog-rock guitarist
What a pleasant surprise! He is so much more than just a rock guitarist. Knowing and liking Howe's work from the prog-rock group Yes, I decided to give his solo work a listen. He is a guitar virtuoso.
He plays many different styles and stringed instruments on this disc. A total of 24 as a matter of fact.
He ranges from New Age to Jazz to Flamenco. It is a very melodic and soothing album. If your looking for the long guitar solos of Yes, you're not going to find them here. What you will find is 60 minutes of wonderful, outstanding guitar playing from one of the music world's most talented guitar players.
