It's moody, grandiose, pastoral, dreamy, epic, romantic, melancholic and aggressive at the same time. English folk music is perfectly melded with "progressive" idiom of the era. A lot of flute, 12-string acoustic guitar, Mellotron and Hammond organ are adorned with mysterious lyrics and outstanding Gabriel' singing. A fantasy-like artwork amazingly describes the music.However, 50 years after its release, highly influential Trespass is still an underrated masterpiece. Wed, 08 Jan 2020 13:50:56 +0000
