Genesis - Abacab / Analogue Productions

Certified multi-platinum-selling in several countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, Genesis' album “Abacab”, released in 1981, marked the band's move from their progressive music roots to more accessible and pop-oriented songs.

The album was engineered by Hugh Padgham, known for his work with other successful artists like Phil Collins and The Police. His production techniques, including the gated reverb drum sound, contributed to the album's modern and radio-friendly sound.

In November 1980 the band bought Fisher Lane Farm, a farmhouse with an adjoining cowshed near Chiddingfold, Surrey, as their new private rehearsal and recording facility. In the process of remodelling the building into a studio, the trio reconvened in the

farm house to write and rehearse new material, which initially took place in the living room, and they started recording “Abacab” in March 1981 once the studio was operational. It was the first Genesis album recorded in England since “A Trick of the Tail” (1976).

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" CD/DVD conditioner for even more sonic improvement.
