There are still a couple of Genesis cd's that I need to pick up but of all the ones I have this is my favorite. Great album all the way through.
Is there anybody listening
Is there anyone who sees what's going on

Damn, talk about some bumpage. Funnily enough I was just reading the new Genesis book Chapter and Verse today, and was reading the section on Selling England. May have to pull this album out over the weekend. And since we're on the subject, I picked up the Live Over Europe album, and while the key changes are a little annoying, it's worth it to hear them tear through the Cinema Show keyboard solo again. I was getting misty eyed in the car on the way home from Best Buy, because this just had to be the first thing I played from the album.

can't believe my participation in this one was absent. Maybe I meant to, but it got buried and I never got around to it.

Not my favorite, but I still would regard this as being without flaw. The solo at the end of TCS is a top 5 Genesis moment for me and many others. EPPING FOREST may be one of the most underated Gabriel pieces..it's very epic in it's theme maybe more so than it's length and being somewhat of a *suite*..parts of it remind me a bit of The Beatles "Rocky Racoon" at least in how narrative and character-driven Gabriel gets. Also how he says "You are a robbing hood" of course the Robin Hood character hits my brain.
