Do you have PG's 1st album, Graham.

The tracks that start and end the album bring their own challenges for playback, and then there's the glorious Solsbury Hill, with its unusual time signatures, simple sounding but oh so complicated and a total bastard to play guitar part (thanks Steve Hunter for creating your own part off the cuff to frustrate guitarists the world over forever).

Genesis were Tudor "Christian" tripping rock as far as I'm concerned. They became that after Jonathan King buzzed off. From Genesis to Revelation sounded very evangelical "we hope you join us" etc. Either that or they were taking Le Pice. Who knows? Perhaps they didn't either. But lyrics like "the changes of no consequence will pick up the reigns from nowhere" (Seven Stones) seemed to be psychologically designed.

I got the impression that Gabriel was on a God trip, but the musical press did their best to hide it for him. "Watcher of the Skies" had more overtones with the book of Enoch (pseudographia) - think looking down rather than up.

"Lamb Lies Down" with references to Rael, and eventually singing "is Rael", plus "Counting Out Time" (the book of Numbers) should have been a dead giveaway.

So when you get to "Solisbury Hill," you'd be able to make 2 + 2 = 4, but only if you'd followed.



That none should be able to park up and enjoy the view without a smartphone and the knowledge in how to use apps

Last time I used a turntable with ceramic cartridge was when I was 16 ( early 1970's ) My parents Electrohome console stereo had a Dual 1219 in it.
I remember articles in " Stereo Review " magazine  stating ceramic cartridges were garbage as they track to heavy and destroy your records...
Learning something new here.
Are there ceramic cartridges even still in production?

Graham Slee would be the best source on this.
