I'm giving my first steps into the Genesis world, and I will throw some lines after several listens to Trespass.

It has been a surprise for me the basically acoustic feel around all the album, being the opener Looking For Someone and the closer The Knife the only songs with more bombastic sound, soaring guitars and drums.

I think this is all about atmosphere, and the keyboards used (beautiful and trembling sounds let me tell you) are fantastic, so dreamy and floating. Acoustic guitar passages are also great played and very tasty. This is quite pastoral (listen to flute here and there, lovely in Dusk) and introspective music, and Gabriel's voice and lyrics are usually the highlight.

The drums are not bad, but being a really acoustic album there's nothing much to say about them.

My favourites are the opener and closer songs, surely because they have a little bit harder sound. Into the acoustic middle side of the album I found Stagnation and Dusk are my preferred moments, and White Mountain is also quite intriguing.

After listening to this I'm yearning for more Genesis!
