about

Mark Sheeky composed and recorded Genesis in the mid nineteen-nineties onto cassette tape, exclusively using an Ensoniq ESQ-1 synthesizer, and so this album represents Sheeky's earliest existing music beyond the Protracker 'mod' music of the early part of that decade.

Listening to this music, the influence of Jean-Michel Jarre is clear, but there are also a lot of moods and ideas lifted from computer game music too. Journey to Daedalus refers to the Amiga game Frontier: Elite II, and Planet Gaia, later re-recorded for The Incredible Journey, is a reference to a planet in Damocles: Mercenary II. The album artwork is an homage to the Dragon 32, a machine with a colour scheme that remains forever burned into Mark's visual memory, hues that forever evoke feelings of childhood and happiness.

This version was recorded in 2017 from the analogue cassette-tape master copy.
