They changed the set a lot during this period as people came and went
Studio gear for Tony in the Trespass, Nursery Cryme,
Foxtrot
(1970 -1973) period:
Acoustic Piano [studio only]
Hammond L-122 tonewheel organ, Leslie rotating
speaker
Hohner Pianet, fuzz effect
Mellotron Mk II [Strings, Brass, Flute tapes]
The Mellotron was alleged to be bought from King
Crimson
and the same one used on In The Court Of The Crimson King. The
Mellotron
Mark II's left manual was traditionally used to play tape recordings of
rhythm tracks, one of which was called "Foxtrot". (We don't know if
this
rhythm track was used on a Genesis album or
not...)
Notes: On many occasions during this period, Banks
would
try to make the electric piano sound as close to an electric guitar as
possible. On pieces like "Musical Box", he would put the Pianet through
a fuzz box, while Hackett would try to make the guitar sound like a
synthesizer.
The "Watcher of the Skies" sound was created by putting both the organ
and the Mellotron strings/brass through the Leslie speaker, with a fair
amount of distortion added. Tony himself made the point that the
Mellotron
from this era is the only one that the song sounded good on -- contrast
a recording of Watcher from this period with a Lamb encore version of
thesong
to hear the noticeable difference.
