Guitar Groove-A-Rama - Duke Robillard

Advantages: Duchess is one of the best Genesis tracks.
Disadvantages: Some nasty synth-pop and bland tracks

...The three remaining members of Genesis hit the 1980s by starting to write synth-pop songs. Their prog-rock roots hadn't entirely disappeared though. leaving some of the material on this album neither pop nor prog and suffering as a result. Initially they created a suite of songs about "Duke", and then split up the suite and added other tracks, keeping the title for the entire album. Opening with a joyful fanfare, "Behind The Lines" sounds like it is going to be another good Genesis instrumental, however after a couple of minutes it decends into a rather mundane song with only an occasional glimpse of how it started. Luckily the Genesis magic hasn't completely gone just yet as "Duchess" is a glorious track. I love those drum machine sounds and swirling synths.

This is a special air guitar edit as the guitar is played by Brian May (kind of remastered version); it is a timely reminder of how good Queen were. 9/10 2. Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water - 5:19 A great guitar intro (you will hear this a lot) has a steady beat that continues throughout the whole song. 50 seconds... Read review
