. Point two - I agree, SEBTP, Duke, Foxtrot, and a few other Genesis albums could be concept albums. [/QUOTE]
Get the others but --why Foxtrot?

Same sort of thing as SEBTP, accept Foxtrot is more themed on England's past, wheras SEBTP was about England at the present (when it was released, anyway). Watcher of the Skies - about a John Keats poem. Great intro. Time Table - a lament about how old England deteriorated through constant war. Get 'Em Out By Friday - about corrupt property developers. Admittedly, this seems more SEBTP than Foxtrot, but actually it's been happening since property development and renting flats began in the 12th century. Can-utility and the Coastliners - about the legendary king Cnut (or Canute). Horizons - instrumental, no comment Supper's Ready - who knows? But there are a lot of allusions to old England in there - and, funnily enough, the Book of Revelation from the Bible. |

Really? I thought it was about aliens. EDIT - so the title comes from a Keats poem but the lyrics are about aliens looking down on a deserted Earth.

Entangled. But I would vote Stagnation perhaps the next time I'm asked.

If it was actually thought about being made an epic like that, the why the hell didn't they? For comparisons to Supper's Ready? What's with them and their fear of comparisons being made with that song... this other epic would have given it a good run for it's money... it might even have ended up being my favourite of the two. |

So we were both right.
Well, like I said, I think it was a more strategic idea to have one, uncontested masterpiece, leaving us to argue endlessly about it. Slightly ironic, really, since all the people who didn't comment on my Genesis Hidden Suites thread are now talking about the subject.

stagnation for sure. the instrumental section in the middle of that song is one of the most brilliant arrangements to come from Gabriel-Era genesis and its probably the best song on Trespass next to The Knife.
