Genesis - Nursery Cryme

Genesis's third album was a far cry from the delicate folk-rock tapestries and chiming 12-string guitars of its predecessor, TRESPASS. The infusion of a semi-classical structural sensibility had become more prevalent. Fragile ballads are at a minimum, replaced by driving classical-rock epics full of heavy guitar, bass lines, and sweeping Mellotron. The sound occasionally recalls the refined but uncompromising instrumental attack of the Nice (particularly in Tony Banks's Keith Emerson-ish blasts of organ bravura). The interlocking guitar arpeggios and folkie moments central to TRESPASS are still present, however, providing contrast to NURSERY CRYME's bolder moments. The group's ambitious compositional style and Gabriel's eccentric lyrics are at their height on "The Fountain of Salamacis," "The Musical Box," and the instrumentally sophisticated "The Return of the Giant Hogweed," making NURSERY CRYME the first Genesis album to truly define their mature style. Out of print in the U.S. ! Standard CD pressing of the 1971 album from the British Prog Rock band.

In the air tonight is a great one, I'm not familiar with much on this album. I have to ask you Umber, have you ever listen to John Lee Hooker, if so do you like and if you do what do you think his best album was? I had heard what i thought was a live album once but every where I search I cannot find it, it may not have been live perhaps the best of? Thanks again for the music, man sometimes you just nail me, it's amazing how you can forget what good music can do for you, You deserve major props for your vast knowledge of music, you should have your own radio station .

I admit I happen to  know very  little about John Lee Hooker.. ... I know he is / was a talented BluesMan ( if I'm not mistaken).

 

Thanks for the kind words... They are much appreciated.

That's all good , he did some good stuff. Some was for the masses but there is some hidden gems, check him out if you like the blues Also Umber,have you ever listen to Gladys Night and the pips? My imagination" Your the best thing that happen to me" Midnight train to Goergia". ? She has the most incredible voice I have ever heard, and that was even on reel to reel,, Gladys rocks, need to check that out if your looking for something that could potentially move you.

Thanks once again for the memory lane Umbertino, perhaps one day I could return the good deed that you have done, time and time again.
