The Credit for "Horizon`s"

Even though Horizon`s is arguably a solo piece by Hackett, I believe that it is officially credited to Genesis as a whole. The wikipedia page has it credited solely to Hackett. Maybe you should put that as trivia at the bottom of the page "Horizons, while credited to Genesis as a whole was actually solely written and performed by Steve Hackett"

The article today had it credited to J.S.Bach! I double checked on the PRS/MCPS Alliance database there today: the musical composition "Horizons" is credited to Banks/Collins/Gabriel/Hackett/Rutherford, published by Quartet Music/Stratsong. That is the official legal position.--feline1 16:02, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

It is a well known Bach piece - although I'm not sure of the title! (A solo cello piece I think). Witchwooder 19:33, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it is well known. I knew it was the prelude of one of the six cello suites (in fact there are transcriptions for guitar, I played it once) and then found out it was Cello Suite No.1 BWV 1007. I added the information to the page because it is important for the album structure and the song itself. Though it's not based in Bach's prelude (it just uses his principal idea in the beginning), nor it has typical prelude structure, it uses many baroque resources (it is baroque style) and accomplishes the function of a prelude (on side B there's first this song and then "Supper's Ready"). That's why it is important to note the initial idea taken from Bach's prelude (it's not merely a trivia stuff). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cvelasquez (talk • contribs) 14:17, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Release History

In 1979, Charisma re-issued "Nursery Cryme / Foxtrot" as a double LP. My copy says the company is Polydor and the distributor is Polygram. Catalog # CA-2-2701; USA. This contradicts the statement that all US distribution was by Buddha.AFbrat1972-MN (talk) 08:33, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Tracklist Table

I didn't think tables were specified in the wiki guidelines, but if they are going to be used is it possible to align the track numbers with the tracks? Side 2, track 6 should be higher up the column, not half way down. I'd move it myself but it's beyond me. Stephenjh (talk) 19:35, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

MSN Music Review

The MSN Music review is unnecessary as the review is borrowed from Allmusic. Queenieacoustic (talk) 14:41, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Christgau Review

Categorizing Christgau's review as containing praise is tone-deaf at best, deliberately misleading at worst. It is a very dismissive review, damning with very faint praise and then ascribing that praise to what fans would argue. Uncool. Emoedison (talk) 20:38, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
