What Are You Listening To?

[Tiggi]

Gabriel-era Genesis copyists' debut from 1983.

Copyists is absolutely the right word, since vocalist Fish (Real name Derek Dick. Snigger !!) sounds almost exactly like Gabriel, whilst guitarist Steve Rothery sounds uncannily like Steve Hackett. It doesn't end there, as the entire band seem hell bent on recreating the early Genesis sound.

Given that, this is actually a very good album. I know I haven't played this slab of vinyl in at least 20 years, because it's one of the few I have which haven't been stored in poly inner sleeves, and it's more than 20 years since I started doing that.


AllMusic 4+/5 stars.
