Genesis - Selling England by the Pound (music 54 minute album)

Discovering this, 41 years after it came out I am astounded these these young men who had nothing extra about them apart from probably some classical training created a work so big, individual, beautiful and unpredictably hypnotic. It's mainly instrumental with great crescendos into glory, some little voice bits, a few deliberately comic some more serious singing of love or loneliness. It's a huge bright elaborate canvas, music by image rather than storytelling.

Thanks a million Jenny Skinner for bringing it into your diary. I am sure your and you friends spent many hours of pleasure together listening to it. I shall return again and again, abandoning everything outside the Genesis gates, it shall be my good meditation, love it!
