FOXTROT

This album is quite simply one of the greatest ever recorded. Supper's Ready is one of the most outrageously over the top songs ever and I love it. It has everything from ultra-fiddly guitar parts to ultra-freaky time signatures, not to mention Peter Gabriel's trademark humour and sense of majesty. Watcher Of The Skies is intense and wonderfully bouncy, Time Table is a slice of medieval magic, Get 'Em Out By Friday is a very dark serving of satire, and Can Utility And The Coastliners is an all too often forgotten gem (another of my all time Genesis favourites). As for Horizons, well, every time I here it I wish I had a fraction of Steve Hackett's talent - it's short and sweet but beautifully haunting and makes a perfect, if unintended, intro to Supper's Ready. Foxtrot is the Genesis album that everyone should own.
