  • Using the old five-star rating system, this gets a six!

  • @mottledbrain Thank you very much :-)

  • Oh, would you like to volunteer?? :-D

    I have this strange feeling that you might be Dutch too...

  • Thanks alot for the kind words.

    You're right, it doesn't sound very 70's, but I needed a sound with an octave in it, and this one was the closest to the original that I could find in my collection.

    I wanted an acoustic sound for the flute, and since i don't play one, I decided to use the accordeon... but thank you for not judging me for it ;-)

  • Really enjoyed this. Thank you so much for all your talent.

  • @cafra28 Thanks alot Switzerland :-)  But you dont have to thank me for this `talent`...

  • Wow, in loss for better words.

  • @muziekengeluid Hell yes I am Dutch ;-) But I really can't sing, nor can't play a note on any instrument :-)

    On a sidenote, you are from "Grunnen" province, right? What you need is someone who can (loosely) translate Peter Gabriel's lyrics to Grunnigs dialect and of course a Grunniger singer. That would create something unique (and may even be commercially viable).

    Anyway, I get goose pimples time and time again I am listening to this piece (especially from 06:00 onwards). It is just great.

  • Outstanding job!

    ...the song deserves it.

    Thank you!

  • Awesome... I love multi-instrumentalists (Mike Oldfield, Yann Tiersen), but I never heard Genesis-tribute played by one man and it's great!

    The real cool part is the keyboard solo at 04:45, because it *doesn't* sound like the early 1970s, it actually sounds like 1980s neo-prog, which was inspired by Genesis. That, and the accordion instead of flute makes this piece not just a copy of the original played by a fan, but your own way of a tribute to Genesis. Once again, great!

    PS: Get a singer ;-)

  • Awesome job...on some really tough songs!

    A great tribute to Genesis that you put this kind of time into this.

    Great job!!!:)
