Excellent production Mark.  Your voice seems to fit nicely into every song you do.  Great job!

Pretty good vocal. Needs some drum fills. Maybe some more laying of synths.
 
All in all good job.

Mark,
 
Checked this cover again after listening to your original "This Mystery"  You are obviously a good guitar player as evidenced by your original song recently posted.   Wondering why you didn't include the Turn It On Again guitar part.  The live version guitar part would sound really awesome in this cover.   The cover is good but I think your guitar playing would take it over the top.

Regards

Good cover 
 
I must admit that I never got into Genesis during their "early" phase.
 
I really liked "Follow You Follow Me" for some reason, and I therefore bought that album. But Duke just didn't gel with me. I'm not much of a Phil Collins fan to be honest, although he has done some great stuff.

Thank you everyone!
Markno..I layered in a very blended guitar part that complements the synth...I only did this after seeing a video on playing the guitar. I didn't even know it was there...
 
As for reverb, I tried to stay away from that 80's Gated drum sound. Sadly I don't have any drum software that sounds as big and loud as Phil Collins'.
 
Recording digitally, as opposed to tape, IMO leaves a lot of sonic space open to fill. That's the trade off when covering the big sounds on the older recordings. I think today's producers are using compression to beef things up...thoughts?

I'm a huge Genesis and PC fan - this is a really good cover!
 
covers of iconic songs like this are really hard to pull off, but you've done an excellent job of it!

Yep, you nailed it without trying "clone" the original. Strong, pro-sounding vocals, good choices on the synth sounds. Nice to hear a top notch cover now and then. I'm going to go and listen to some of your other stuff..Keep 'em comin'............Ron

Maybe a little verb or slapback delay on the vox... Good job otherwise...!
