Yes. Tp, "favorite" threads do not take much thought so i can
crank those suckas out!! Plus i can change my answers as i please on a
whim, an extra special bonus!
Genesis Revisited II is the current art rock equivalent of say the modern post WWII revival of Mahler spearheaded by Leonard Bernstein and others, except Steve Hackett is better qualified for the task than any of those guys were for Mahler in that Hackett is probably equally as artistically gifted (and daring) and actually helped compose and perform these classics originally!

I would normally hesitate to draw analogies between rock/pop and classical music historical scenarios like this, but believe Genesis Revisited II warrants such comparisons and that this music, like that of the Beatles, will live on for a long time to come.

The cover art (A Tower Struck Down?) is perfect and the packaging as a whole is top notch as well.
