IT - A 50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OF THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY BY GENESIS (AS SONIC ELEMENTS)

A Great Celebration with Outstanding Guests and a Superb Interpretation of Genesis' Classic Double Album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

"IT - A 50th Anniversary Celebration of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway by Genesis" brings together an impressive roster of musicians to pay tribute to one of progressive rock's most ambitious albums. Francis Dunnery (It Bites) leads on vocals and guitar, accompanied by Dave Kerzner (Sound of Contact, In Continuum) on keyboards, Nick D'Virgilio (Big Big Train, Genesis) and Martin Levac (The Musical Box) on drums, and a host of other talented contributors. These include Fernando Perdomo (Dave Kerzner Band), Billy Sherwood (Yes), Steve Rothery (Marillion), Lee Pomeroy (ELO, It Bites), Dan Hancock (Giraffe), additional guest musicians, and a symphony orchestra. The album was recorded by Mark Hornsby and Nick D'Virgilio and arranged and conducted by John Hinchey.

As a lifelong admirer of Genesis, and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway in particular, I find this reinterpretation to be a remarkable celebration of the original 1974 masterpiece. Though divisive among Genesis fans, The Lamb remains an unparalleled work of conceptual brilliance, filled with music and storytelling that reveal layers of depth on every listen.

This anniversary project does more than simply revisit the album?it reimagines it. Kerzner and his team have transformed The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway into a symphonic rock soundtrack, preserving the spirit of the original while presenting it in a fresh and dynamic form.

The production is exceptional, balancing fidelity to Genesis' arrangements with a modern sensibility. Every instrument, every passage, is treated with care, resulting in a sound that feels lush and immediate. This is no mere tribute; it's a complete reimagining that retains the heart of The Lamb while daring to expand its possibilities.

IT - A 50th Anniversary Celebration of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is great release . It honors the genius of Genesis while shows their peak of creativity were the musicians involved. IT offers a new way to experience a beloved album and provides an entry point into one of the most compelling works in progressive rock history. This is not just a commemoration?it's an essential listen.
