However, Jonathan King was and remains a piteously diseased childfucker and therefore probably not very musically talented either. The strings do not have that trademark shrieking Bb2 which makes me wonder about it, and as the song wibbles through Gminor and Fmajor it has plenty of opportunity to land on it. Of course it might be EQed off, but it doesn't sound like it, and really...listening to this twice was more than I could stand.
I may be wrong, as I'm listening to this through the monophonic lo-fi dream that is YouTube, but thankfully my record collection is free of this hideous nonsense. Christ. 'Confusion' rhymed with 'disillusion'. That's a rhyme crime ranking alongside 'leave/deceive' and 'arms/charms'.

My wife bought me a double CD of very early Genesis at "The Warehouse" for $1.50 NZ ( about 75c US). We were listening to Fireside Song, the strings come in and my wife says "there's the tron", now I don't think it is a tron and we have a $50 dollar bet on it. Anybody know for certain?

PS If I am wrong I will never hear the end of it.
