NURSERY CRYME

Never have dynamics been used so effectively by a rock band!!! All the songs are fragile little nuggets that almost reduce me to tears. It seems a very wonderful approach at combining the innocence of fairy tales and pretty poetry and corrupting it with Greek mythology and perversity (hence the name Nursery Cryme). Bookended by its two best songs (a great way to make an album) I love it. The guitar solo to Fountain of Salmacis is progtastic. How does someone not love this? I'm also interested in this...as I've often suspected it...on "For Absent Friends" I'm sure thats not Peter Gabriel singing...I know they all sound like mirrors of him but I think its one of the other 4.
