From Wikipedia ---The Watch is an Italian progressive rock band from Milan, led by vocalist, principal songwriter and teacher Simone Rossetti, originally formed in 1997. Their music is inspired by classic progressive rock style of the 1970s and in particular by the music of Genesis. Melody and energy are the main aspects of The Watch music and the live dimension is one of the greatest features of the band. History The band was founded in 1997 with the name 'The Night Watch', lining up vocalist Simone Rossetti, guitarist Franceso Zago, bassist Antonio Mauri, keyboardist Giovanni Alessi and drummer Diego Donadio. The band released their debut album, Twilight, before the line-up collapsed in 2000 leaving only Rossetti to continue the band under the shortened name 'The Watch'. Following the name change, Rossetti rebuilt the band with a new line-up that initially consisted of himself, guitarist Ettore Salati, bassist Marco Schembri, keyboardist Gabriele Manzini and drummer Roberto Leoni: they released their next two albums, 2001's Ghost] and 2004's Vacuum.Manzini departed following Vacuum's release and was replaced by longtime band collaborator Sergio Taglioni (who had performed some keyboards on the band's two previous albums), who remained in the band for the fan released Live Bootleg in 2006, as for the band's fourth studio album as well, 2007's Primitive, and the band's first official live album in 2008. It was at this point in 2008 that the band underwent its second major line-up change, as once again all of the members with the exception of Rossetti (Leoni, Salati, Schembri, and Taglioni) departed the band, with the new line-up consisting of Rossetti, drummer Marco Fabbri, guitarist Giorgio Gabriel, keyboardist Fabio Mancini and bassist Cristiano Roversi. Further line-up changes occurred in 2009 when Mancini and Roversi departed the band and were replaced by Valerio De Vittorio and Guglielmo Mariotti respectively. The band once again found stability, and over the following four years they would release the Planet Earth? (2010)[5] and Timeless (2011)studio albums, and the Green Show 2011 - Official Live Bootleg (2012) live album. In 2013 the band underwent a further line-up change when Mariotti left the band,[8][9] and was replaced by Stefano Castrucci,[10] who in turn was replaced the following year by Mattia Rossetti, the son of the band's frontman Simone Rossetti.[8] This band's new line-up produced their most recent studio output, 2014's Tracks from the Alps[11] and 2017's Seven and continues to exist to this day. In 2022, Marco Fabbri left the band and was replaced by Francesco Vaccarezza and in 2023, Giorgio Gabriel left the band and was replaced by Andrea Giustiniani.

I have to say I like this band for their music. I really do not associate this with Genesis, except as a compliment and enjoy it all the more. It takes great talent and originality to compose music like this. I’m a Genesis fan too and one must realize the talent to play music compared to Peter Gabriel era Genesis so hats off to the band for this. I do hear the similarities with the tone of voice, keyboards and guitar tone but to call this a clone band is inaccurate and does them no justice. This is quite original with very good lyrics.

spirit of classical Genesis

[@61guitbox]

great album from Genesis cover band The Watch 👍🏻👍🏻

[@francesco6399]

In effetti se chiudo gli occhi mi sembra di tornare ai mitici anni 70 e alla suggestiva voce di Peter Gabriel, qui riprodotta con fedeltà e grande spiritualità da Simone Rossetti. Fantastici Watch, stasera sono a Parma ad ascoltarli con Selling England b.t.p.

[@dieterkrotz978]

Great album

[@sergeyermolenko6034]

Вы добились невозможного: моей "пятёрочки". Но это только на третьей прослушке, а уже есть желание послушать четвёртый раз. Кроме шуток: ничто и никто не в состоянии заставить меня слушать альбом неизвестной команды три раза без перемоток в течение одного вечера. Уже понятно: The Watch в сотни раз талантливее marillion и в миллион раз интереснее! Это не копия Genesis. Это продолжение Genesis. Это как один и тот же рояль, на котором удивил учитель, а затем и достойный его ученик.

[@thecarpetcrawler1962]

masterpiece !!

[@malombra903]

grande album....

[@lefteriskiriacidis1627]

This,is what Genesis would be in this time..Watch Neoprog band lyrical Voice. With a vocalist si much similar to Peter Gabriel, it's so impressive that A band That started 1969 Genesis Defines bands Like Watch Which is Great with haunting melodies.. Love you Genesis for this results..Watch -Vacuum a real gem 9/10.

The singing is very monotonous to me. Gabriel was not only able to affect, but also unpredictable and exciting. I don't see that in this. I consider Marillion and "Fish" to be of a much higher level. I fall asleep to this song.
