Customer Reviews:

Wonderful acoustic release from a master.......2006-05-02

I have always loved Steve Howe. His contribution to YES is just mind blowing. I love him for his diversity and unqiue playing style.
'Natural Timbre' is a tremendous view of Steve's acoustic guitar interpretations. Honestly, "To Be Over" is worth the price of this album alone.
Highly recommended!

Steve, Howe do you do it?.......2004-12-09

This is definately one of my favorite instrumental albums. The signature guitar style of Howe is all over the place, and the two Yes classics "To be over" and "Your Move" are some of the best instrumental covers I've ever heard. Though Steve shines many times soloing, he does have accompaniment from time to time, and it's wonderful because it never takes away the beauty of Howe's playing.

Excelente.......2004-02-24

Los últimos discos de Steve Howe me parecen excelentes. Si exceptuamos Elements, que es algo más irregular, tanto este como Syline exploran una línea de guitarra que hasta ahora no había utilizado el guitarrista. Quedan lejos los años en los que había que demostrar que se tocaba más y más rápido que nadie. Ahora aplica todo lo aprendido a una serie de temas que son una auténtica delicia. Un disco acústico absolutamente fabuloso. Por lo que respecta a Steve Howe parece que el retorno a la primera división, que para el grupo ha supuesto "Magnification" se traduce, igualmente, en una mayor calidad de sus trabajos en solitario. Ah, y no canta en ningún tema, lo cual es de agradecer.

Warm and engaging work.......2003-06-16

This could very well be the best YES cd ever made. I really think this cd is so good.. it is like a familiar friend that says all the right things.

The many guitars on this cd, and I think he used something like 22, are just placed all in the right places.

Very well done and he can make another acoustic cd as far as I am concerned.

I forgot that steve ever played an electric guitar while listening to this release.

Howe Is Brilliant.......2003-04-18

The whole album is thoroughly delightful. I must admit that I am a diehard Yes fan and love just about everything they do (except for Tormato and 90125) so that undoubtedly colours this review. Steve's first love has always been accoustic guitar music and his indulgence is my delight. One thing that helps a great deal is the total lack of vocals. When he's singing as part of the harmony in Yes he's great, but when he's on his own I always wish he had got Jon Anderson to sing. On a few tracks his son accompanies him on the drums and I think he does a great job matching his drum-work to the music. Most of the album features new material played on a wonderful blend of his many different guitars, and on the end of the cd Steve does great accoustic renditions of old Yes favourites; Your Move, Disillusion and To Be Over. I will never get tired of this album.
