Genesis / Trespass (1970)


United Kingdom


A truly underrated album by critics. It is the album that marks the beginning of the group's progressive phase.
The compositions are bizarre, but demonstrate that this would be the fetus of what Genesis would be; twelve-string guitar junctions, integration of British folk and progressive rock and surrealist lyrics. Probably the band's most unique LP.

At that time Anthony Phillips was still the leader of the group, and in Trespass it is more than proven that he was the character that would define the definitive characteristics of Genesis as a symphonic progressive band (although he is not well recognized for that).
