I totally agree with that. I love Best Mangu Ever & I think it's one of the best ending track of an album ever.

yeah, i blasted it on my speakers last night. total letdown. i could see it on riverrun or a single or something, but closing an album it's just not good.

since genesis hardly ever did that song, here's a cover with almost identical guitar-work:

the song otherwise is not as interesting, but the guitar work from steve hackett is fascinating. especially the beginning and the section at about 1:50 when it goes way-uptempo. the singing is a bit off especially with the italian accent- you can't really tell what he's saying.

another great guitarist is michael gulezian- i saw him a couple of weeks ago at a friend's house:


the way he works the guitar is just amazing. a really good song he does that i can't find on youtube is called 'tumbledweeb'.

i love this song at the end of the album, 9+ minutes of brilliance. laid back easy feeling like ! i doubt i'll hear this live this tour ( or ever ), but thats okay.

oh, i forgot bryantm3 was the genesis fan. nevermind.

It was going oh so well until Phil Collins and crew made an appearance.

What's the use of "wanting" the song to sound like Genesis?

This is the way Underworld wanted it. I LOVE the guitar sounds actually.

I still cant get my head round this track either. Its ok, but not one of my favourites on the album. I agree its more of a RiverRun sounding track.
