This is an announcement from Genetic Control:Foxtrot is the fourth studio album by Genesis, released through Charisma Records on 6 October 1972. Among others, it notably contains the 23-minute epic "Supper's Ready", which has its own page.(So does its animated video adaptation, Supper's Ready Illustrated.) It was Genesis' first album to chart in the UK, reaching as high as number 12 on the charts. Peter Gabriel, imitating the album cover, would wear a red dress and a fox's head during the tour for the album.Preceded by Nursery Cryme, followed by Selling England by the Pound. | |

Crapsack World | |
Foxtrot (Album) (Music) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: "Get 'Em Out by Friday" is set in an Alternate History Britain that is dominated by an agency called 'Genetic Control', who are really just a bunch of megalomaniac capitalist landlords that are said to go to extreme lengths just to bag extra bucks. They also have total control over every aspect of human development and can change whichever one they want to on a whim, whether their subjects like it or not. | |

After the End | |
Foxtrot (Album) (Music) / int_334e48a1 | comment |
After the End: In "Watcher of the Skies", the titular superbeing encounters an empty future Earth and wonders if humanity has destroyed itself, gone to live somewhere else, or ascended to a higher plane of existence. | |

Foxtrot (Album) (Music) / int_38da8916 | comment |
Uncommon Time: "Watcher in the Skies" includes a 6/4 staccato passage during the intro; after the vocals end, the staccato portion shifts to 8/4 and is mixed with a 6/4 Mellotron part. | |

Song Style Shift | |
Foxtrot (Album) (Music) / int_43d39d6b | comment |
Song Style Shift: "Watcher of the Skies" opens with a churchy Mellotron solo, evocative of Baroque-era Classical Music, before the drums kick in and carry the song into Progressive Rock. | |

Epic Rocking: Well, obviously, "Supper's Ready". There's also "Watcher of the Skies" and "Get 'Em Out by Friday", both of which are over 7 minutes in length. | |

Instrumentals | |
Foxtrot (Album) (Music) / int_74b7629c | comment |
Instrumentals: A large part of "Supper's Ready" is made up of these, especially in the second half. "Horizons" is an instrumental acoustic guitar piece. After Peter left, the band decided to turn "Watcher of the Skies" into an instrumental piece, likely because Phil would have trouble singing the melody while focusing on a truly complex drum groove. | |

Pride | |
Foxtrot (Album) (Music) / int_c39846a3 | comment |
Pride: "Can-Utility and the Coastliners" is inspired by King Canute of Denmark and his inability to hold back a flood. There is a legend that he was convinced through flattery into believing he possessed supernatural powers and was able to do so, which contradicts historical accounts of his reign. Genesis' song somewhat has it both ways — "We heed not flatterers," the song has him say, but then "By our command, waters retreat/Show my power/Halt at my feet." In any case, he is unable to stop the tide. | |
