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

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 ;-)
