Genesis

Step into the imaginative world of Genesis with Nursery Cryme, one of the defining works of early progressive rock.

Blending theatrical storytelling with intricate musicianship, the album features surreal and darkly humorous narratives, carried by dynamic arrangements and shifting moods. From the haunting melodies of “The Musical Box” to the sharp wit of “Harold the Barrel,” this record showcases Genesis at their most inventive.

Marking the arrival of Phil Collins and Steve Hackett, Nursery Cryme represents a key moment in the band’s evolution, combining complex compositions, rich keyboard textures, and distinctive vocals into a truly unique sound.

This French reissue on Charisma (9103 100), presented in a gatefold sleeve, is a must-have for prog rock enthusiasts and collectors alike. A timeless album that perfectly captures the creativity and ambition of early 1970s Genesis.
