In the Rapids, Genesis

I really like this song, it has that great melody, and accents, its got those nice shots of brusting energy,the droning bass (almost doom rock), it marriges doom with bright starshine, it has so many starking colours marring black, and crafs a pathwork of variousneuances, in only 2.30 min, my only wish is that some dude managed or dared to make it gro even grander, i bet a good doom band or drone band could do Wonders in taking its beuty 2.30 into 10 by following the same chordpatterns just, tweek more modulkations and chord progressions, i sence a it could be very magical either a doom band or a shoegaze band should dare to do something about it.

It should also fit a female vocals also, most of genesis does have that feel it would be Nice coverd by female fronted bands, just something my mind tels me.


what do you think of In the Rapids, the melodie, its short burst of beautifull Magic.

I think its a great track also from a brilliant album.........funny you say about female vocals and Genesis, I think it works also.
Just posted my thought on the "queen of prog" thread and Leslie does a fantastic rendition of Back in NYC

I love it too--but I love the whole Lamb---a real masterpiece.

^The chords have a watery feel to me. Just one more example of Genesis' mastery over imagery. Very soulful singing once again on Gabriel's part.
