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!!)

Speaking from personal experience I rarely "get" a new CD at the first 
playing. Usually by play 5 I'm synched and reveling in the music.
That was not the case with "the Lamb" as I heard it first live and it 
certainly remains on my top 10 list, really closer to top 5.

I don't have a problem with drum machines as long as they are one of the 
good ones. I sold my TR-808 for a digital unit and have been trying to get a 
Roland back ever since! If you have a mint 808 contact me privately, please.
