One of the most beautiful Genesis songs ever, and one of the best on Selling England by The Pound. Possibly my favorite instrumental piece of all musical composition.

In my opinion, Steve Hackett always added that little extra what Genesis made Genesis. Quickly after he left, Genesis became the toy of Phil Collins and downwards from there.

All of the songs on Selling England By The Pound are excellent in their own way and this one is no exception.
Steve Hackett is one of the best Brit guitarists of all time.

Brano strumentale meraviglioso...

After the Ordeal: the worlds most special song without words.
Isn't it?

It's funny that Tony Banks didn't want the piece on the album, he never liked it. However it's my favourite instrumental song ever!
-
It's called After the Ordeal because it was the track that followed The Battle Of Epping Forest on Genesis album Selling England By The Pound, where this track orginates from.

The best classical piece of the century.

beatiful, yes.
Selling England By The Pound would be incomplete without this piece (sorry Tony). The piano and nylon string guitar are a perfect match and this is a fantastic exercise of that. Kudos to Tony and Steve. With as many talented and creative minds that were Genesis of old, and being only able (or allowed) to produce 1 record a year (typically) it was inevitable that the lineup would change. I respect their talents too much to put them down after Pete or Steve left.
