Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / 'Where is she?' just played on BBC radio 2!

I was just having a cup of tea and listening to the radio and was astounded to hear a song come on which was 'where is she', my digital radio said 'by Brian Wilson' which was also what the presenter Vanessa Feltz said. Anyway was brilliant to hear a song sung by Brian from that era,as its my favourite era for his voice. I am sure the programme will be on the iPlayer soon enough....

the lamb lies down on broadway has to be the best concept album ever done right? what are your favorite genesis songs? peter did a beautiful job with them but phil carried them and did great work with them as well The Lamb is great, but not my alltime favourite, would probably put Selling England by the pound first. Favourites from the era being Cinema show, Firth of fifth, Can Utility and the coastliners, Musical Box, Suppers Ready etc...the usual suspects really. I really like Trespass too, it sometimes gets written off but some of the songs - Dusk, Stagnation, White Mountain etc...are brilliant. Trick of the tail is great too, and most of Wind and Wuthering. ATTWT has grown on me throughout the years, there's a few which wash over me but overall it has a pretty similar sound to the preceding two albums which I quite like (though a lot less 12 string). Agree about Hacketts albums 'Acolyte' is a real beauty.

I enjoy bits of Yes, but for me the early 70s Genesis era (Trespass through to the Lamb) is one of my favourite eras of any band ever. I got into Genesis in my teens around the same time I got into the BB, and for me they weren't a million miles apart in terms of intricate and interesting chords and multisectional songs. The BB were an influence for Tony Banks so I guess that figures. I saw the Genesis tribute band 'The Musical Box' 3 times, and the first time I saw them might be my favourite gig ever (and thats over Brian doing PS or Smile), it really is some of the most beautiful music ever created by anyone. I like the first few post Gabriel albums as well but some of their early 80s stuff is a bit iffy for me though I have a soft spot for 'Invisible Touch' as it was an album of my childhood...

Hi Luther I use Logic (version 6 at the moment) it doesn't really matter to get the latest version as such as if the rest of you equipment (like my mac) are old anyway. I've been using Logic for years and I think it's great, you can get the older versions quite easily on ebay. Never used protools at all... Cheers Matt

Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Other Pop Composers Who Have Written in Sections?

Quite a few of Freddie Mercurys early songs are written in this 'sectional' style - listen to 'March of the Black Queen' and 'My Fairy King' to hear good examples of this. The sections never repeat either just one new thing after another, totally mindblowing...some more examples would be 70s Black Sabbath especially around the time of 'sabbath bloody sabbath' and 'sabotage' - great multisectional songs there. Also early Genesis - 'Suppers Ready' and 'the musical box' being fine examples...
