A highly skilled guitarist known for his fluid, effects-heavy playing, British musician Steve Hillage has collaborated with countless musicians and influenced several genres over the course of his lengthy career, particularly space rock, prog, ambient, and techno. Initially associated with the Canterbury Scene during the late '60s and early '70s, Hillage played in groups such as Uriel and Khan before becoming a key member of psychedelic cult favorites Gong during the '70s. He launched his solo career with the ambitious 1975 prog rock suite Fish Rising. While albums such as 1977's Motivation Radio contained some of his most accessible material, 1979's groundbreaking Rainbow Dome Musick eschewed lyrics and rhythms for extended guitar- and synth-based meditations, helping to pave the way for ambient and new age. Hillage spent much of the '80s in the producer's chair, working with a diverse range of artists from Robyn Hitchcock to Genesis' Tony Banks. In the early 1990s, Hillage and partner Miquette Giraudy co-founded the techno/trance group System 7 and collaborated extensively with techno pioneers such as Derrick May and the Orb on albums like 777 (1993) and Power of Seven (1995); Hillage also lent his distinctive guitar playing to the Orb's classic 1992 single "Blue Room." Hillage reunited with Gong for several concerts between 2006 and 2010 before parting ways again. Most of his releases since then have either been archival concerts or new System 7 recordings.
