Steve Hackett's last release for Charisma Records in Britain is one of his strongest efforts. Hackett once again handles all the lead vocals, but sounds more assured in the role than he did on Cured. This album spawned Hackett's one and only solo hit single, "Cell 151," which charted in Britain. An extended version of "Cell 151" was released as a 12" single, and was later included on CD versions of Highly Strung.

'Highly Strung'' might be one of the best albums of the 80's; anyway that was my impression. It's a consistent mix of pop, rock and prog.
