Frogtoon Music Album Info: Genesis Revisited Ii

Steve Hackett Says "This Time Around I've Tried To Satisfy What Everyone Wants Including Myself. Initially I Was Thinking Of Just Going For The Best Songs Not Featured On The First Album. But Then People Thought I Should Do Those Tracks Where The Guitar Was Emphasized. So I've Done Both. I've Also Included Four Songs With Genesis Threads Most Of Which Were Written During The Period And Had A Genesis Feel Such As The Co-Written 'Shadow Of The Hierophant'." "I Sympathise With Hitchcock's Need To Re-Make An Earlier Film. The Vision Is Clearer Techniques Improve Inwardly And Outwardly. For All Us Musicians Songs Of Innocence Are Now Inevitably Songs Of Experience. I Love The Original Genesis Music So Much That I Want To Highlight It Even More. The Temptation To Infuse Those Tracks With More Detail And Enriched Clarity Was Irresistible. Musos Set The Ball Rolling By Passing It To One Another As A Means To Carry Forward Combined Ideas. The Songwriters Then Necessarily Move On To The Next Project But The Avid Listener Knows It's Really A Chariot Of Fire A Bow Of Burning Gold Or A Dark Satanic Mill... It's Emblazoned Into The Mind With A Life Of Its Own That Moves Way Beyond The Dreams Of The Original Perpetrators. But Sometimes Dreams Need To Be Re-Lived! On These Versions I've Altered The Detail Within The Songs Whilst Aiming To Preserve The Authentic Spirit Of The Originals. Real String Instruments Are Often Used Either With Or Instead Of Mellotron There Are Several New Introductions Plus Many Additional Effects Recorded On Apple Mac Logic With Amp Plug-Ins Instead Of Going The Traditional Route. You'll Also Find Changed Guitar And Other Instrumental Solos As Well As Additional Vocal Parts. Every Time I Change A Solo I Feel I'm In Danger Of Messing With People's Childhoods But Sometimes The Muse Just Has To Have Her Way With Me..." Produced By Steve Hackett And Roger King
