This is one of my favorites song from Genesis, it is 10 minutes song, with 3 sections:
1 - Intro with Keys, Guitar (arpeggios), Bass Synth Pedal, Drum Machine and Vocals
2 - Instrumental with Drums, E. Guitar, Keys, Bass Synth Pedal and No Vocals
3 - Outro, very similar to the Intro with Keys, Guitar (arpeggios), Bass Synth Pedal, Drum Machine and Vocals

For now, I added a temporary (hopefully) Drum track, as it is very complicated track (not easy to mimic Phil Collins drums).

If you are interested in participate (Looking for Vocals) let me know, submit your track and I will check it.
Please note any tracks with errors or sync issues will not be published.
Thanks for your understanding.

Maurizio, Frank , Gianfranco, I'm almost done with this song, I worked this week on Maurizio's vocal track, put it through several FXs on my DAW (Cakewalk), like Compression, DeEsser and EQ, if I close my eyes, I can hear Phil Collins clearly. Amazing voice Mauricio. I did several mild changes on the volume of almost all tracks and I think it sounds pretty good now.
Next step would be to review Frank's guitars (thx1138) and process all those tracks on my DAW.
Finally I'll take care of the Drums, and need lots of EQ fixes, so far, I have not found a drummer that dares to play this, so the MIDI track I put will remain.
Let me know your comments so far.

puntostar Gianfranco ,I save a new track for your guitar (Track 11). I adjusted volume and PAN, and using my DAW (Cakewalk) I applied EQ (boost High Freq), Compression (to boost low volume notes ), Reverb(a little) and Echo (a little). Let me know if you like it.

I muted your track 2 (Volume 0) for now, if you like what I did, I will move it to draft.

@Megasis: This is sounding really good! Well done on those keyboard sounds, I've long wanted to find some decent sounds for Tony's solo in the middle (and I'm still looking!). Personally I thought WCD was a slightly disappointing album - but at least the opening and closing tracks were kick-arse charts (actually, Driving The Last Spike and Dreaming While You Sleep were pretty damn good too.
Nice singing from Maurizio too, captures the Phil sound most effectively.

Deuils, thanks, for your kind comments, one of the key factors for the keyboard sound was that I used the same keyboard Tony used when Genesis recorded Fading Lights, the Korg WaveStation. Well, I used the IOS App version on my iPad ($29), Tony basically used factory patches for this and other songs, so my tracks' sound were very close, considering I don't have the audio engineering skill nor the equipment Genesis has at The Farm studio. The solo took me quite some time, I split the solo into several sections, as you can see in the video, but the trick for me was transposing the keyboard to a comfortable scale, so I used the C scale, mostly white keys.

@Megasis : Yes, I remember WCD being Wavestation heavy in the same way that the Synclavier drove much of the Mama album (I think Phil bought a WS for himself as well). Theoretically, I should be able to recreate the WS sounds on the Oasys since it has all the WS samples, but that would be a few years of programming for me!! Always loved Tony's work in Genesis, from the Silent Sun right through to Calling All Stations. He was very much the soul of the Genesis sound.
