FOXTROT

This great Genesis album is my personal favourite, maybe I think it's the best progressive album ever. It shows much progression as the follow up of Nursery Cryme. This disk shows a self-confident group with great talents. Watcher Of The Skies is a fabulous song, with that mellotron. Time Table is a beautiful more queit song. Get 'Em Out By Friday is even better than the opening song and it's not boring, the 8:38 minutes long. Can-Utility... is also a great song and Horizons is the short song, as usual for prog rock. When you listened to the first 5 songs it's for sure you're already browbeated. But the climax has still got to come. Supper's Ready is simple a great progressive masterpiece. Different mood changes, from serious to corny. The needed rythm changes. And maybe the most beautiful, a very sensitive flute part, like we will hear again in Firth Of Fifth on the following studio album. This is one of the CD's with the great formation Banks, Hackett, Collins, Gabriel and Rutherford. Every Genesis disk with this formation should be in the collection of each prog rock listener. Of those disks this one is clearly my favourite.
