The 70-year-old star has described his newest record, ‘Under a Mediterranean Sky’, as a “travelogue”, and has revealed the inspirations behind his music.<\/p>\n

Discussing the album, Steve shared: “I just love the idea of an imaginary journey that recalls all the other actual journeys that I had made.<\/p>\n

“It’s a travelogue, a musical diary perhaps, but it’s also a dream til we’re able to fully engage with the world again.”<\/p>\n

Asked about his favourite place to visit in the Mediterranean, Steve told Prog magazine: “Italy is a big favourite. I’ve toured there more probably than any other region in the Mediterranean, but then I did masses of gigs in France, Spain, of course, I love it for its music and architecture and all the rest.<\/p>\n

“Greece, I’ve travelled to more in recent years. I haven’t played there, but I’ve shot a video or two there. It’s a hugely mystical place.<\/p>\n

“Pompeii, which I’ve visited many times, was the inspiration for the track ‘Casa Del Fauno.”<\/p>\n

Steve was keen to do something a bit different with his new album.<\/p>\n

And the veteran musician feels that if he loses the appetite to try something new, he “might as well throw in the towel”.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on his approach to the record, Steve – who first rose to prominence as part of Genesis in the 1970s – said: “Rules are meant to be broken.<\/p>\n

“If you don’t break the rules in music, you might as well throw in the towel.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
