They just sound great. Perhaps they sound like XTC but I don't own any XTC so I wouldn't know.<br /><br />The version of Back In NYC is very faithful to the original and sits well with the other songs on the album. Not that they sound like Genesis. Thinking about it, Back in NYC was a great song but not typical Genesis either.<br /><br />Dave's guitar is an obvious high point, but the playing and vocals are excellent throughout. The songs are just so well crafted.<br /><br />I was also reminded of Paul Menel's work with iQ, but again it's not a close comparison. It's just an album of real quality and passionate playing.<br /><br />I'd love to see them live.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8440667673901774474.post-44196205063286474772011-04-03T22:13:59.957+01:002011-04-03T22:13:59.957+01:00Agreed with Leo.
