It was the "Chord Change" collab that eventually make this one happen as well. Axel (keyboardist) is from Buenos Aires, like me. I already knew him through my ex-bandmates, Gogui and Nico, the ones who played "All Along The Watchtower" live with me. In fact, we also played "Chord Change" live during that same show in Tigre, the place where we come from. Nico came with the proposal after listening to Axel´s band playing the instrumental song by Camel. So when its virtual cover was complete, I shared it with him on Facebook. He really liked it and was interested in being part of a collab cover. I told him to choose a song. I suggested something by Genesis cause I already knew he was a huge fan of the band. In the end we decided that "After The Ordeal", the only instrumental from Selling England By The Pound, was the right choice for us: a piano/guitar-based tune. However, its second half has bass and drums as well, so I asked Dave if he´d like to join us on this one with the drums, besides all of the other projects that we´ve been tackling together (and the ones that are to come too). Fortunately, he was in. The bass on "After The Ordeal" is very simple, so I thought I could give it a go myself. I tried to do something of my own as close to Dave´s kick drum as possible. It was fun to adapt my own bass line to this Genesis song. :) Here´s Axel´s You Tube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/AxelTaglia And Dave´s: http://www.youtube.com/user/17drums C´s channel (original songs): http://www.youtube.com/user/DelgiftC08 - www.facebook.com/ClaudioDelgift (website with final versions of the originals that can be found at the You Tube channel and more).
