NURSERY CRYME

Recorded in 1971 following the second album "Trespass" . this album would not have previous members John Mayhew and Anthony Phillips This album would be fundamental for later albums adding Steve Hackett and Phil Collins onto the roster. 1.Musical Box (10:24) this track would display more of Peter Gabriel's artistic vision and opens the album strongly. 2.For Absent Friends (1:44) the song tells a pleasant story of a elderly couple on a bench and is the first song to have Phil Collins on vocals. 3.Return of the Giant Hogweed (8:10) this song is very heavy and displays the heavier side of Genesis 4.Seven Stones (5:10)Peter Gabriel does great vocals but is an underrated flutist. 5 and 6 are short tunes "Harold the Barrel" and "Harlequin" are pacing for the final track"The Fountain of Salmacis" 7. The Fountain of Salmacis (7:54) is a very epic track and the highlight is Steve Hacketts excellent guitar solo ending the song and ultimately the album.
