Ah but mine has the better primal vocalist.
That’s a brilliant listen, right there…
Love a bit of Vangelis. Do you have “Heaven And Hell” (1975)
edit : just found my vinyl copy and added a photo…

Not only have I never heard it, I didn’t even know it existed. I’m not surprised to hear it’s even more ‘primal’ though. I trust your judgement.

Went to visit a friend up-country this weekend. He played me this awesome tune on 7" by The Skatalites…
Fugitive Dub
Super groovy, with shades of “amen” style drum breaks, bongos and mixed by King Tubby.
Also available here…

I view 10pm as curfew with the neighbours, the time to move on to more mellow music played at low volume.

No I must admit I haven’t - in fact the only other Vangelis I’ve got is the compilation Odyssey oh and his stuff with Jon Anderson from Yes!

You may need to give it a few goes to appreciate it - I wasn’t too keen first time - but liking it now!

Sure, Vangelis and Anderson…
This might interest you - from Wikipedia - about Heaven And Hell (1975).
The album marked Vangelis’ first collaboration with singer Jon Anderson, who sings on “So Long Ago, So Clear”, the closing section of Part One.[5] Vangelis recalls how they “sat down one day and I start to play the melody and he felt so comfortable that immediately he started to write the words”

Played it to death when it came in to our house a few weeks ago

Very of that time - 70’s - but worth a listen. It’s all part of his journey. Maybe where he started.
The track with Jon Anderson is great.

That saves searching for a definition at least 
Strangely captivating, TJ. Will explore further. Thanks for posting!
This album’s an under recognized gem. For me, the Justin Currie influences were the starting point but this paints a nice alternative to his Del Amitri and solo work.
IMO “She Cuts Her Own Fringe” deserves to be recognized as a perfect pop song.

Hi, I like Duke a lot and agree that it shows a new musical direction, from prog to mainstream pop, and the band were on top form, I have all the Genesis catalog and on the whole love them all, the exception being “We Can’t Dance” I really have to be in the mood to listen to it.
I have to agree with your wife about the later material, and I think you have summed up Genesis really well, my best mate would agree with you preferring the earlier albums.
its interesting how we all have different views which albums are best for a particular group and before I retire for the night I’m going to play another Genesis album, Abacab my favourite.
