It's... THE MUSICAL THEME QUOTATIONS DATABASE --x--x--x-- followed by WISHLIST
THE GENESIS MUSICAL THEME QUOTATIONS DATABASE:
------- EARLY YEARS:
- "Twilight Alehouse" comes from a jam based on the interlude between "Fireside Song" and "The Serpent" on FGTR.
- "The Serpent" and "In Hiding" derived, of course, from "She Is Beautiful" an "Patricia" respectively.
- The piano introduction from "The Shepherd" is later used on the insrumental break in "Duchess".
- "The Mick Jackson Tapes" is where "Anyway" (in a piece called "Frustration") and "Salmacis" (in a piece called "Provocation") were created.
------- PETER ERA:
- "Can-Utility" derived, of course, from "Bye, Bye Johnny"
-->; "Supper's Ready":
- The "Lover's Leap" theme is reprised between "GESM" and "I&I&TBofMM", and in the closing of the "Apocalypse in 9/8".
- The interlude between "Willow Farm" and "Ap.9/8" closes with a reprise of the melody in "I know a fireman who looks after the fire".
(I remember somebody pointed that the guitar phrase just before "666 is no..." is also in the same melody of "the fireman". Having listened for this many times, I beleive the person was referring to this above said moment in the song)
- "As Sure as Eggs is Eggs" is in the same melody as "GESM".
(Note: The "Giant Hogweed" printed lyrics end with "--ADVANCE--", "Supper" printed lyrics end with "(Continued)". I don't know if there's any reference between the 2, but, if anything, there it is).
-->; "Selling England":
- "Aisle Of Plenty" quotes "DWTMK" and "Supper" (in the lyrics of "It's scrambled eggs").
- "Firth Of Fifth" instrumental part quotes it's own intro.
-->; "The Lamb":
- "Back in NYC" intro quotes the intro for "In The Cage".
- "The Carpet Crawlers" intro quotes the bridge of "The Lamb Lies Down".
- "Lilywith Lilith" ending quotes "Broadway Melody". "Lilith" comes, of course, from "The Light".
- "The Light Dies Down" quotes both "The Lamia" and "The Lamb Lies Down".
- "In the Rapids" quotes "Ravine" for brief moments right after "...and the rush of crashing water" and "I'm spirilled down the riverbed".
------- PROG (or something like it) PHIL ERA:
-->; "Trick":
- "Los Endos" quotes "It's Yourself", "Dance On A Volcano" and "Squonk". It is also a nod to Peter's departure as it quotes the lyrics to "Supper" and the "Solsbury Hill" lyrical theme of "home": "There's an angel standing in the sun...free to get back home".
- "It's Yourself" original version quotes "Mad Man Moon" on it's last notes.
- "Squonk" quotes "Volcano": the guitar on the background of "All in all you were..." is a variation the "Volcano" riff.
-->; "W&W":
- " '...In that Quiet Earth' " quotes "11th Earl Of Mar" on a few quick moments.
- "Wot Gorilla?" shares some notes with the middle part of "One For The Vine".
- "All In A Mouse's Night" final verse quotes it's own intro.
- "Blood On The Rooftops" quotes "11th Earl": that little melody that goes just before the blasting choruses of "Blood" first appears in the background of "...never seems too keen...".
-->; "...and then there were 3...":
- "Ballad Of Big" final verse quotes it's own intro.
- "The Lady Lies" middle verse ("So glad you could make it...") quotes it's own intro.
?? (Question: I believe someone pointed a sort of quotation somewhere in "Down &Out" for "Wot Gorilla?". I can't remember what was the bit, and I couldn't find any similarities between the two just by listening. Has anybody here found this?) ??
-->; "Duke":
- "Duke's Travels" quotes "Guide Vocal".
- "Duke's End" quotes "Behind The Lines", "Turn it on Again" and "Guide Vocal" again (the final notes are the same as "take what's yours and be damned").
------- POP (or something like it) PHIL ERA:
- On the fade of "Dodo/Lurker" you can hear the beginning of "Submarine".
- "Paperlate" derives itself from the "paper late!" moment on "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight".
- "2nd Home By The Sea" quotes "HBTS".
- The "Congo" riff comes from a certain bit in "Do the Neurotic".
- "On The Shoreline" quotes the "Elephantus" sound from "No Son Of Mine" in it's intro.
?? (Question: I also remember that a certain B-side from "Invisible Touch" shared a very small guitar solo with "Land Of Confusion". I can't recall nor the song nor the moment in "L.O.C.". Anybody?) ??
------- RAY ERA:
- "Congo" final verse quotes it's own intro.
- "Alien Afternoon" 2nd part quotes the intro.
So... Is that it? Are there any others? Perhaps one could make some improvements over the definitions? Just in case you think of something, please post.
