I liked the last 1/3 of this a lot - Great changeup on the vox and the music was ear candy!

Peace, man

Oh yes. I love the harpiscord sound, and there are some outstanding chord changes going down here. The part where the 'harpiscord' gets going at double speed is incredible. A proper prog-classical feel that Rick Wakeman would have been proud of! Musically, this is a real EPIC. And you sing this one beautifully, James. Truly outstanding!

Yikes! I can't take credit for someone else's work. The music was entirely from a midi file I found on the internet. All I did was play the midi file through my Yamaha keyboard and record it to the BR to get a better sound than we'd have got from a computer sound card.

The "harpsichord" is actually supposed to be two 12-string guitars, as you can see in the following YouTube videos.

This was the best Genesis line-up, in my opinion. Steve Hackett's guitar playing complimented Tony Banks' keyboards perfectly. He played such tasteful leads and really gave the band an edge that they've since lost. Peter Gabriel's vocals and Phil Collins' drumming were great too. And they had hair!

Class!!

I can't listen to stuff at work, and when I saw this I though "nah, he can't really... surely not... can he?!"  Is there nothing sacred man?

And he has!!
Fine performance orh...

Mrs R will be listening to Foxtrot in bed tonight 

Now, I want to hear you go "Looking for someone! I guess, I'm doing that..."

[Satchwood]

Cool song - nice flowing midi track - great vox James! 

Some pretty high flippin notes!

I remember when Hackett & Howe got together for....GTR....i believe....

[Ferryman]

Ooh, I saw Genesis on the Foxtrot, Selling England and Lamb Lies Down tours and am a nerd on everything Genesis up to Trick of the Tail when it all went downhill for me (never listened to them again). ORH, you sound UNCANNILY like Gabriel when you do the "and it's hello babe" parts. Supper's Ready is the apex of everything Genesis ever did IMO and you've done a great job with the vox here. 64G, I'm disappointed to hear you didn't do all of this yourself musically! I would have been stunned if you had however.

Cheers,

Nigel
