What song is better - the closing mini epic by Genesis or the closing epic epic by Rush! I like the one that's really just a bunch of songs stringed together. -------------

Lamneth. Salmacis is excellent, but I just love the weird atmosphere on Lamneth. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

This. Lamneth is the reason why Caress of Steel is in my top 5 of Rush albums. -------------

| I don't really like either so much, but at least Lammeth isn't as annoying as Salmacis. Perhaps if I heard the Genesis revisited version... Hackett did fix "Watcher of the Skies" for me on Tokyo Tapes, so he might have done the same with Salmacis. |

| Salmacis is probably *the* Genesis song for me these days. I like Lamneth but not even close. |

Surprised 'Lamneth' got this many votes... I was already heavily into prog at age 14 when I first heard this and thought it was incredibly lame - I still do! I was delighted to have been at Knebworth in 78 when 'Salmacis' was performed (some controversy over whether it is the version that appears on 'Three Sides Live' - I am sure some experts will tell me!) |

The version on Three sides live was recorded in 1980. The version from the 1978 Knebworth show is probably my favourite version of the song. Sadly I only ever had it on a crappy booleg recorded from a radio broadcast courtesy of Tommy Vance on Radio 1. I think I was about 9 in 1978! I get why many folk aren't keen on Lamneth, but for me it's one of those songs that has a sentimental value more than anything else. As an epic it's fairly flawed and doesn't flow that well at times, but has a special atmosphere and reminds me of a good time in my early teens when I was exploring Rush for the first time. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

All the classic elements of early Genesis gelled with 'Fountain'. I do have a soft spot though in my heart for that Rush number. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |
