Nick D'Virgilio is interviewed by classicrockmusicblog.com about REWIRING GENESIS and remaking the Genesis class "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway."
Jerry Lucky Review of REWIRING GENESIS
I remember during the eighties progressive rock revival, there was a certain badge of honor bestowed on a band who could faithfully reproduce the Genesis song "Suppers Ready." Times change and today the focus has shifted more to The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. This perhaps is a tougher act to bring about, after all this is a double-disc work that has a lot of music. Enter Mark Hornsby and Nick D'Virgillio. Under the name Rewiring Genesis these two have assembled quite a cast of musicians to literally re-interpret this classic album. The core band consists of D'Virgillio (vocals, drums), Dave Martin (bass), Jeff Taylor (keyboards), Don Carr (guitars) and Hornsby's production skills. In addition there are some 18 musicians from the Nashville area that contribute their musical talents on all sorts of string, reed and woodwind instruments. As you might imagine this brings a very different vibe to the "lamb." (read more by clicking on the link above).

Maybe unintended, the end of the title track seems to get an infusion of the live version done by Genesis (in Seconds Out, The Way We Walk). The horn/string section, arranged by John Hinchey, is amazing on "In the Cage". The treatment at the song's end sounds almost like John...Cage/Philip Glass.
