 This is the heavy-weight highlight of the week, "Supper's Ready" - the 23 minute Genesis epic that sounds like nothing you've heard before. (Unless of course you've heard it before.) The guitars aren't wanky-noodle, the vocals don't echo eerily, and it's not all hyper-freaky psych rock like King Crimson's "21st Century Schizoid Man" that I associated with the prog rock genre before digging a little deeper. "Symphonic pop" is how they describe this, since it's played out in seven parts with build-ups, come-downs, twists, and shit I swear you don't expect. If that sounds pretentious, it should. Who the hell has the nerve to think they can pull-off 23 minutes of orchestrated pop with a slew of keyboard solos and costume changes? The thought of it is completely obnoxious. That's probably why I like it so much. Genesis - "Supper's Ready" (22 MB) Krucoff.com powered by Removable Hype. Copyright © 2004 La Otra Página, Inc. All nights observed.
