The day I played with Genesis
2007-04-08 by kinchmusic@aol.com
In 1979 Genesis recorded the album Duke with little or no Mellotron....
Damn their eyes!
I've always thought that Heathaze was the poorer for this stripped down
approach to the production.
Well, after thinking about it for some time, I've finally got around to
doing something about rectifying this grave injustice.
Guys, please have a listen to how I think the track would have sounded, had
it appeared on, say A trick of the tail.
For anyone unfamiliar with the original track, I have added Mellotron and
bass pedals.
Might have overdone it in places, but, hey, and old guy is allowed the
occasional self-indulgence isn't he? I know Genesis purists will hate anyone
tampering with perfection...but, watch my face...Does it say Bovvered? .....Am I
bovvered?...No! (Apologies to our American cousins, for whom the last bit will
mean nothing al all)
