Since last week’s Monday Prog Selection actually came up on a Tuesday (Hyena’s know nothing of Memorial Day) I thought we’d just go with it. “Honor they error as a hidden intention” says the Oblique Strategy.

Here we have a fine presentation of pre-peak Genesis. It’s all there, the basic sound that each musician would go on to refine in the next few years.
