Hi all-

Yeah, the title track does wear on you. Almost no
use of volume pedal for dynamic effect. And, wasn't
the audio compression used in the early 70's
wonderful? It 'bout smashed the overall dynamics down
to nothing. I still like the mix of violins and
brass, though (I know, I just bought the mix). A very
distant and sad sound, but yearning for dynamic
swells. I picked up "Genesis Live" recently. The
tron on "Watcher" opens with the violins more
prominent that the brass, which sounds strange.

Prog? Gimme "Siberian Khatru", "Topographic
Oceans", "Take a Pebble", "Selling England By the
Pound"(the track), "Black Light Syndrome"(something
more recent), and, the original "Quadrophenia". So
there.
