Field of Eternity

Music by Anthony Phillips and Mike Rutherford*.

"This is a classical guitar solo and is taken from a massive, straggly piece of the same name (deleted before available). It is rather a curiosity item in that it contains a snippet of an old, unrecorded Genesis song* and also themes from the absent movement of "Flamingo"."

*The song Ant refers to is "Pacidy", a recorded performance of it is available on Genesis Archive 1967-75. It is an appallingly beautiful song worth to check out!

Very nice to hear a clean version! I have had this song running through my head for years and I ran into your video and bought the CD the same day. I have been wanting to learn this song and your video gives me hope. Thanks!

You're welcome. There was a book with this piece and five more ("Six Pieces for Guitar") but I'm not able to find it. It seems it's sadly out-of-print now. I'm sure you'll have success learning the piece by ear and watching the video.

Licely done! Ant''s rendition has so much background noise...birds and hiss... and as I remember, something actually sounded like it dropped on the ground in the background...not that the background stuff was actually bad... made it sound so very personal. But it's actually nice to here such a clean recording! Thanks!

Yeah, the one in the album sounds really like a *private* recording. Nothing to do with the pristine sound quality of albums like "Field Day". It has its charm though.

Which section of this piece contains "Pacidy"? I can't seem to pick it out.

P.S. Keep Ant's music alive, Hyperboreal.

2:08 to 2:48 +/- "Pacidy my love glowing ember of evening, your eyes are frozen with guilt..."

It's just an snippet at a slow pace so it's indeed difficult to spot. What a great early Genesis song, listening again it reminds me of another great song, Deep Purple's Anthem.

Remarkable!

Umm I would REALLY like it if you could write this out and sent it to me. st4nle@gmail.com

see, I want to use this as my resume'. The group will not take just anyone.. As a Phillips fan, i can understand self teaching, however time is short and I don't want to miss this golden opportunity.

More people should realize that Anthony Phillips is by far the best composer that was ever in Genesis. They would have been a much more special band had he stayed.

The PeRfEcT song!

Muchísimas gracias Antonio, sería genial que te animaras a grabarla una vez la hayas aprendido. Seguro que suena de fábula.
