Steve Hackett Cured equipment

Cured is the fifth studio album by Steve Hackett, released in August 1981 on Charisma Records (Epic Records in US & Canada).

This album was largely a collaborative effort between Steve and keyboardist Nick Magnus, following the disbanding of his backing band with which he had worked on the previous two albums, and is the first album to feature Steve doing all the vocals. Besides, the entire album was recorded to a drum machine, programmed by Magnus, which seemed a viable option due to a limited budget, although Steve acknowledged that a real drummer would have been the ideal solution. Looking back on the album, it was his least favourite in terms of production.
