This week, Tim and Peter discussed the third album by Genesis, Nursery Cryme. Topics covered include: how this album stands in relation to the rest of the Genesis canon, the effect of the line-up change, why the album was recorded so quickly, the contrast between the various writing styles in the band, and the surrealist dimension of the album. Also, is it an Edwardian album or a Victorian one? Which of these songs wins the prize for the most key changes? Is there a worse way to be castrated than with a croquet mallet? Is Harold The Barrell Peter Gabriel’s re-writing of Oedipus Rex by Sophocles? Why are British people obsessed by the Russians? And crucially, do Yes have a sense of humour?
