Originally known as the Night Watch, this Italian prog band has always modeled itself after the early Genesis era albums. Tons of mellotron, acoustic guitar interludes, complex vocal harmonies and amazing songs. Lead singer Simone Rossetti is a Peter Gabriel vocal brother with a distinctly unique voice that suits the music to perfection.
Tracks From The Alps does not break any new musical territory but does provide us with another brilliant album in the discography of The Watch well worth owning. What they have done on this album is try to break away from the cold hard Genesis reincarnated model and reallly blend in a more modern prog feeling. In many ways it is not unlike the transition Genesis did from Selling England to "A Trick Of The Tail".
