         I agree that this could be a potentially great matchup! I 
especially enjoyed Hackett's work with Genesis and his own "Voyage
of the Acolyte". Howe's solo work seems to need more guidance, and
perhaps this collaboration is just what he needs. I only hope they 
get some other decent musicians to help out, like maybe Chris Squire
or Tony Levin on bass and a good drummer or drum machine (I just
hope they don't go entirely synth-electronic for their backup).

                    Waiting breathlessly for the new Gabriel LP,
