Many artists are using this time of worldwide quarantine to further engage with fans via social media and one of those is former Genesis guitarist/solo artist Steve Hackett, who has come out with (among other things) a video series entitled Track Chat. Yesterday's entry was for a song from his 2012 collaboration with Chris Squire - with an appropriate portmanteau, Squackett - A Life Within A Day.
He posits that this music might provide insight as to what it would have been like if Genesis (of a certain era) and Yes had gotten together to record. I will say that the title track is one of my favorites from the release, it has a kind of Middle Eastern modality vibe to it. Around the 2:45 mark Steve notes: "I remember Trevor Rabin saying he liked this a lot which is very nice to know. Those Yes connections." And with great performances and progressive values as embodied by the recording, it's easy to see why.
