That was the big complaint of the tune over at progressiveears.

Maybe Bruford, Collins, Pert, etc., or the drummer for Random Hold,
Ui or Cairo could sit in with them during the next session. Bands
that are inspired by Genesis are one thing, but to imitate them is
futile. Perhaps a dangerous statement to make when bands like The
Musical Box and the Australian Pink Floyd are touring and leaving
people awestruck left and right.

But they have ∗real∗ drummers!

Nonetheless, I want the CD from Sylvan & Bonamici when it comes
out...yet I'm afraid I'll rake it over with a fine-toothed comb and
pick it apart rather than just sit back and enjoy it.

Even though Genesis is one of my top ten fave bands of all time, I
could never ever say that I enjoyed each album right off the bat
upon the first listen. Thirty years ago, when I first heard The Lamb
I just didn't "get it". It went over my head, overwhelmed me, I
pegged it as inconsistant and longwinded or whatever--but we all
know now it's a classic.


np: some band out of Philadelphia called "E-X-O" (not bad!!)
