FOXTROT

Foxtrot Is One Of The Most Unique And Thrilling Albums I Have Ever Heard. It Is Debatable Whether This Or Selling England By The Pound Is The Greatest Genesis Album With Peter Gabriel, It Is A Very Hard Decision To Make (As Close As Trilogy And Brain Salad Surgery For Elp). The Opener 'Watcher Of The Skies' Is Simply Amazing, The Eerie Mellotron Intro Is The Perfect Build Up For Collins Motorik Drums And As Gabriel Steps Up The Song Lifts To Becomes One Of The Most Exciting (And Oddly Catchy) Songs Genesis Ever Produced. I've Had Foxtrot On cd For Months And Recently Found It On Vinyl And It Sounds Even Better!! Time Table Changes The Mood Dramatically, Although The Song Is Soft And Melodic It Is The Weakest Song On The Album. Get 'Em Out By Friday Is Great And Goes Through Many Changes To Keep The Listener Interested, The Social Commentary That Gabriel Speaks Of Is Perfectly Executed, Witty And Strong, The Song Afterwards I Feel Is One Of The Most Underated And Untalked About Songs Genesis Has, 'Can Utility And The Coastliners' Is Amazing, Led By Steve Hackett For The Most Part. Rutherford Includes Some Very Strong Basslines, Sometimes So Fast I Would Be Surprised If imitators Wrists didnt Break. 'Horizons', A Short Acoustic Guitar Solo From Steve Hackett Is Impressive And Is The Perfect Prelude To The Epical 23 Minute 'Suppers Ready' Which May Be The Bands Finest Achievement. It Sees All Members Of The Group In Top Form, The Most Exciting Vocals From Peter Gabriel I Have Ever Heard (The 'New Jerusalem' Finale) Are In This Piece. The Lyrics Are So Different To Any Other Band, Who Else Could Have Thought Of This?? The Music Is So Atmospheric It Is Hard To Not Get Lost In It Every Single Time You Listen To it (Thank You Mr. Tony Banks). Peter Adds His Soft Flute Playing In All The Right Places. Steve Hackett Steals The Show Though, His Many Giutars Bringing To Life The Whole Piece And Complementing Peters Vocals At The End. It Is The Perfect Genesis Album For Me And I Highly Recommend It To Any Prog Fan Who Hasnt Already Heard It.
