Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arriving over a decade after his first tribute installment, the legendary guitarist gathered a massive ensemble of guest vocalists and musicians to meticulously recreate classic 1970s Genesis material. The double album spans his entire tenure with the progressive giants, breathing modern sonic clarity into notoriously complex, symphonic arrangements. It functioned as a monumental celebration of progressive rock heritage, immensely satisfying dedicated fans of the genre's golden era.
