TRESPASS

I must come to defend this wonderful piece of progressive music. Coming away from the must have backing chorus and strings of "In the Beginning" Gabriel shouts Looking For Someone! He is oh so strong in his vocals, no shyness, drums, though not collins ARE solid, Banks takes a lead role in this when Peter is idle with Rutherford backing him with bass chords, switching from Synth to piano then enter a strong flute float. Visions of Angels, nice piano entre. nice guitar by Phillips, chord changing with keys and bass guitars is so refreshing to anything we had heard before.Gabriel sings this whole song in a mellow fasion until he puts a serious exclamation on "I believe there never is an end, God gave up this world, it's people long ago". Stagnation-------My absolute favorite on this album. If you haven't before, put this on and read the lyrics! As Spock would say, "fascinating", Phillips wonderful guitar, I believe Banks and Rutherford strumming as well, guitars drowning Peter just a bit, mellow to bass drums then OH my, wonderful simply wonderful acoustic guitar and enter Banks with some haunting keys and a bass pedal. Continues just long enough for a repeat to a STRONG key from banks then the guitars are just so feel good with banks nailing the keys. To a flute stopping it all to a peaceful vocal "The icecold knife has come to decorate the dead". Then "You Are There" lyrics awesome "and will I wait forever beside the silent mirror and fish for bitter minnows amongst the weeds and slimy water. more great lyrics then it wraps around into a melody that ALL Genesis fans would recognize, Gabriel on flute. If you've seen them in concert when Phil might say "some of this stuff actually goes back to 1972, well they actually go back to the end of this song 1970. The Knife--- The lyrics and power and speed that Gabriel delivers in my humble opinion are some of the BEST lyrics ever written by Genesis. "Light up your body with anger now!" War, war, war. This song brings you the power chords that will appear in Hogweed.

FACTS- did you know tha Sir Anthony Phillips wrote "The Musical Box" AND "Fountain of Salmacis"? The Musical Box was performed Live in 1970! The lyrics were not all there and the "King Cole" section was lengthened and the second instrumental section shortened. In that same concert they did a song entitled "The Light" which IS "Lillywhite Lillith". Strange but true. I have this recording with album art. All in all this album is no slouch as some might say, between Gabriel's flute, serious bass chords, Phillips on guitar. A masterpiece in my opinion. Did I mention Rutherford andBanks? Lol. Once again listen and read lyrics.
