Steve Hackett "Voyage Of The Acolyte"

Voyage of the Acolyte is the debut solo album by English progressive rock guitarist-songwriter Steve Hackett. It was released while he was still a member of Genesis. The album was recorded two weeks after the last show of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway tour and was released in 1975 on Chrysalis Records in the U.S. and Charisma Records for the rest of the world.

It featured heavy contributions from Genesis bandmates Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford. In an interview with Phoenix FM Hackett stated that some of the tracks, particularly "Shadow of the Hierophant", were rehearsed by Genesis during the writing and recording of Foxtrot in 1972. Steve Hackett credited his brother John with much of the album, calling him his "sounding board".

The album went silver in the UK. In a 1987 MTV interview Genesis keyboardist Tony Banks stated that the album didn't do much for Genesis; however it is considered by many Genesis fans to be a lost Genesis album.

The tracks are named after, or with reference to, the Minor and Major Trumps of the Tarot card deck.

The album was reissued in 2005 by Virgin Records, and in the U.S. in 2006 by Astralwerks, featuring bonus tracks. A surround upmix of the album is included in Premonitions: The Charisma Recordings 1975-1983 [10-CD/4-DVD Boxed Set] (2015).
