Pete Jones Plays Genesis - Selling England For A Pound (Charity Release)
by Tiger Moth Tales
supported by 4 fans who also own “The Other Room [EP]”
There's no denying - Pete Jones is one of the big ones in the prog world. I've been converted from a sceptic to a fan this year, the scepticism stemming exactly from albums like this one, which seemed to fit perfectly into my "I don't like tribute albums" habit. Well, I was wrong... he's not a guy who just borrows fame from the glory of an era that passed by long ago. His "Tiger Moth Tales" are superb original works, and his cover versions... well, I just love them! Pete Jones does it right. He breathes new life into his remakes of old classics, and I like the selection of songs he provides on this album and its twin, "Seven Stones Turned". Yeah, it's true that he picked a couple of very short "Genesis" songs here, although this band is most renowned for its epic works. But coincidentally, several of those songs are among my most cherished favorites, like "Firth Of Fifth", "Cuckoo Cocoon", "Harlequin", and "For Absent Friends", for instance, which I'd name as some of the most essential "Genesis" songs ever.

Did I say that I don't like cover versions? Well, yes, it's essentially true, but Pete Jones is one of the few exceptions. First of all, his voice is plain amazing, and I'm thankful that he doesn't try too hard to imitate Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins. Second, the way he reinterprets the old "Genesis" classics is so touching and full of life that it's real hard not to go for it. Third, his cover versions deviate notably from the originals, which is an important property that renders a remake interesting in the first place - a fact overlooked by many tribute projects. Take "Invisible Touch", for instance... that's how this song should have been from the beginning. In fact, his version sounds more like "Genesis" than the original. And finally, this selection contains a couple of my own very very favorite favorites - i.e. "Undertow", "Afterglow", and "Seven Stones". Pete Jones' versions really are on par with the magic of the "Genesis" recordings in every respect.

Gutsy hard rock from this Sydney group, with proggy arrangements that reference Middle Eastern melodies.

The band’s fourth full-length album in as many years; an intoxicating LP of jazz-inflected twists and turns.

Potent power metal gets knotted up by head-spinning, proggy song constructions on the music of Hyvmine.

Wrenching indiepop heavy on synths and stormy melodies make for an LP that feels profound in its vision.
