Mike Rutherford – Bass
Another from the Genesis catalogue, this one from one of the later Pop-orientated stuff, The tune is ‘No Reply At All’ from the 1981 album, ‘ABACAB’ (I can’t believe it was over 40 years ago). It’s a very strange form and this is one where you have to concentrate and actually READ the part as you will struggle to catch the form instinctively as it is counter-intuitive.
The muted passage at the end is a really strong idea that, as simple as it sounds, is what Rutherford was about, interesting and creative without being intrusive.
