WIND & WUTHERING

I bought several cds of Genesis before hearing about this one. At my first listening, I've not been very surprised of the quality or anything, but after 5 times, I really noticed all the talent and the work behind that about that 'dark' Genesis album. Wind & Wuthering is like a travel with different styles of soft progressive music. Thou it's a Collins cd, it's more similar to Gabriel's era style, like Trick of the Tail. The 2 firsts songs (Eleventh Earl of Mar, One for the Vine) are great with mysterious and rythmic paterns. I also love Blood on the Rooftops, a kind of gentle and soft ballade, but also a great prologue to the best part of the album, the instrumental (Unquiet slumber for the sleepers, in that quiet earth)... and listen to the intense, orgasmic end of in that quiet earth.... One low point, though, I sincerly think Afterglow is out of context. In fact, I always listen to the record from the start, and at that point, after that (magic) in that quiet earth, the momentum is kind of broken...
