Genesis' masterpiece, "Supper's Ready" first appeared on Foxtrot Album in 1972. A 22:53-minute epic in seven parts, it was about tale of a fight between good and evil, beginning with a vision in a normal house and ending with the triumph of New Jerusalem. "Supper's Ready" was as good as any of musical suites of music that was favoured by Progressive rock, but it also had Peter Gabriel's charisma andtheatrical staging. The piece quickly became a stage highlight and fans' favorite. . The piece starts with "Lover's Leap," an acoustic ballad that segues seamlessly into "The Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man." This one picks up the pace, with drums and keyboards entering and Gabriel's voice becoming more theatrical. The section cuts abruptly, leaving a group of children singing "We will rock you, rock you little snakes/We will keep you snug and warm" and making the transition to part three, "Ikhnaton and Itsacon and Their Band of Merry Men." The battle begins and the beat becomes the horses' gallop, providing the first of two high-energy instrumental passages. "How Dare I Be So Beautiful?" takes us "in the chaos the battle has left," which consists of softish guitar chords played with a volume pedal. This section is cut short by the transformation of Narcissus (and Gabriel) into a flower, which marks the beginning of "Willow Farm," a medium-tempo out of place rock number full of puns. This part brings comic relief and became a live favorite (Gabriel with his flower mask performs a disturbing dance), but its relevance is undetermined. following this interlude, the piece moves on to "Apocalypse in 9/8," a discordant section where the musical climax of the suite is built on an uneven rhythm, featuring one of Tony Banks' most memorable solos. Live, Gabriel reentered the stage after the solo with a strange triangular mask. The final section, "As Sure as Eggs Is Eggs," provided a dramatic ending in a contrasting major key, accompanied live by a magnesium flash that revealed the previously black-clothed singer now all dressed in white and holding a neon light in front of him for the majestic finale. The piece ended with a fadeout both on record and on stage. http://www.allmusic.com/song/suppers-ready-mt0006960684 Dec 07 12, 4:24 AM
