TRESPASS

THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT ALBUM IN THE HISTORY OF PROGRESSIVE ROCK. Why, well without the sort of interesting twelve strings sound that Genesis pioneered on this Album#, Steve Hacket may not have joined after poor old Ant Phillips Stage fright - just meant he couldn't perform live. His loss was fairly grave as he wrote quite a lot of the music that made up Trespass...The album is an absolute must for anybody interested in the evolution of symphonic progressive rock - You have two all time clasics - "Stagnation" and "THE KNIFE" - One is quiet and feminine and the other is agressive and masculine - The knifes stabbing organ chords and the attack of the guitar and the acoustic twelve string sound that was to become on of Genesis' trademarks - to be found on the longish track Stagnation - The rest of the tracks are possibly irrelevant - only because the other two are so good - in 1970 when this vinyl gate-sleeve was released - prog was still in it's infancy - that's why this album is so important - buy it and listen to a little bit of English prog culture. Obviously FIVE STARS.
