5 stars GENESIS yes Wind & Wuthering, this one because it was my first purchase from them! So OMNI or other, it's a best for me! Incredible but before I had quite a few friends who passed me by.. the others, in short my 1st is still something, so what an emotion to talk about it to yourself before giving you my impressions!

1. Eleventh Earl of Mar Genesis intro, phew we were afraid of losing the sound; hovering intro, mysterious, latent, yes it's good ... and it goes, Phil goes there with his most beautiful voice not so bad; the rhythmic chorus, not hard but well done; the story yes I stopped on it to see and that's when I understood that it was prog... a story to sleep tall far from cutesy themes that suited me; the synth wants to be persuasive then intimate, almost melancholy; the break, yes it happens, the acoustic arpeggio which plays in stereo, the choirs, we are at the center of the plot with Peter's flute even if he is no longer there; Daddy before Jean-Marc said it so loudly in the big blue, the air starts again, still with this voice, also in stereo, which fills my ears; the mystical end that leaves you speechless 2. One for the Vine ... how to chronicle this title which irremediably seduced me, bewitched me? simple yet the raw Genesis sound of the Gabriel era was gone, the flayed alive sailed, there we still had 4 friends who showed that they were also gifted... follow me with an air of organ, hold a before taste of the next album, for those who love Genesis, my favorite band; the intimate piano with phil on a syrupy ballad that oozes spleen in all winds, we feel the declination before it arrives... that's it... that's it the clock badly set, it's going good we're halfway through it is normal; it's simple but how beautiful, warm, moving is this break where the synth holds its own; 6'30'' and the Charisma Label sound with full nose, finally with full ear... of the famous rabbit; we are in the bucolic universe of Carroll where time stands still, where we can navigate in the middle of fields of cards far from the queen; back to the main air, yes it has aged but what a foot to have a group to which I can put a real 5, without hurting and denigrating what is less good, even much less good! shh I can't hear the piano anymore 3. Your Own Special Way here's the one I like the least, Irish, a light crescendo that's slow to start, title too agreed too as if I knew what was going to happen; good to my heart defending it must be because I never dared to have a pint in a Scottish pub, look it's 'pu' Irish; yet this track has its dose of prog with the suddenly intimate, oldfieldian, evangelistic and contemplative break; the title which however inaugurates the end of the hilarious, twisted and harshly creative breaks of GENESIS 4. Wot Gorilla? the interlude which demonstrates once again that the Genesis sound was above all orchestral, symphonic up to the final bells which prolong the atmosphere 5. All in a Mouse's Night and the second side, I get up, nah I also have it on hard drive.. Genesis intro I like to write this word it calms me down...not like this mouse that is going to live one hell of a night; the synth fills the title, the speakers, I regress, I see myself buying the album, an LP of course, putting it under my arm, no one will take it from me and frolic to my den to not be bitten. .. good title where I love the end, slow, inescapable with this guitar in the distance which still hides and these synths which spin and warm the room; GENESIS it's getting used but me too so let me listen to the last notes alone with the military drum 6. Blood on the Rooftops a Horizons bis?; a majestic arpeggio, one of those you recognize almost before the first note; I see Steve behind his mustache, I see Tony throwing his fingers at his keyboards; boom the dreamy, intimate chorus, yes I like to use these two words since I feel the sounds coming to shiver against my stirrup and make me bend my spine; beautiful melancholy or how a sad air can become glorious; a ballad, a nursery rhyme, a... Genesis story to sleep on the roofs! 7. Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers... for those who don't know it's... prog: a title that will be linked with the sequel, a creepy intro title, to make potential sleepers worried... yes it's easy 8. ...In That Quiet Earth ... goes on, you follow or what, we go to the second beat, without knowing since at the beginning we thought we heard Phil who is here behind his drums; there is creativity, swagger, prog juice; it turns, twirls and spins so it's good to be chronicled and to dive back into it... yes in 2023 we forget the dinos, we forget the sound which means that we are still to be discussed; paf the break that inaugurates the GENESIS 3rd version, the one with three; Tony gives it incredible energy and uses Steinway grand piano, ARP 2600 synthesizer, ARP Pro Soloist synthesizer, Hammond organ, Mellotron, Roland RS-202 string synthesizer, Fender Rhodes electric piano... Amen 9. Afterglow For the triptych that frees us from this unequaled and unequaled sound, a sound that rocks, that intertwines, that melts the Marshmallow that you greedily eat while reading... yes, a little fantasy never hurts bad too; good for this last title we feel that it's the end, of the album, of the four, of the adventure; the choirs and the keyboard notes well in the marshmallow send me back there to 10CC yes how strange
