Show Notes
⚕️Sleep. Won't You Allow Yourself Fall:
In this episode of Mild Mannered Supermen, we explore the haunting beauty of “Entangled,” one of the most atmospheric and underrated masterpieces from Genesis's 1976 album A Trick of the Tail.
We dive into the song's dreamlike soundscape — from Tony Banks's groundbreaking Mellotron choir, to Steve Hackett's shimmering 12-string guitars, to the breathtaking vocal harmonies that give the track its otherworldly pull. We also spotlight the rare and magical Banks-Hackett songwriting partnership, whose collaboration produced one of the most delicate and mysterious songs in the Genesis catalog.
Part lullaby, part psychological maze, Entangled blurs the line between comfort and captivity, weaving surreal imagery with some of the band's most elegant musical textures. This episode examines why the song remains a hidden gem of progressive rock — and why many fans consider it one of Genesis's most beautiful recordings.
Join Mild Mannered Supermen as we unpack the artistry, atmosphere, and quiet brilliance of “Entangled.”
