GENESIS REVISITED

A great idea for one from "within the fold" to go back and revisit old musics--and an admirable job attracting top notch musicians to the project for these reinterpretations. I have to admit that I like the songs that Steve has chosen to re-interpret more closely to the originals better than his re-stylized versions, and his versions of "Dance on a Volcano" "Los Endos" and "Fountain of Salmacis" are as good as, maybe even better than, the originals--especially due to the fantastic sound engineering. I also love Steve's liner notes for each song. And kudos to Steve that he was able to earn the participation of luminaries like Bill Bruford, Chester Thompson, Tony Levin, Colin Blunstone, John Wetton, Paul Carrack, Ian MacDonald, Alphonso Johnson, Pino Palladino, and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra!
