️In this episode of Mild Mannered Supermen, we descend into the myth and mystery of “The Fountain of Salmacis” — the epic closing track from Genesis's Nursery Cryme (1971). Drawing from Ovid's Metamorphoses, the song tells the haunting tale of Hermaphroditus and the nymph Salmacis, blending ancient mythology with the band's emerging progressive brilliance. We explore how The Fountain of Salmacis marks the first time the “classic” Genesis lineup — Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Steve Hackett, Mike Rutherford, and Phil Collins — truly found their voice. From Gabriel's theatrical delivery to Banks's towering Mellotron and organ textures, this song is the moment Genesis became Genesis. Join Mild Mannered Supermen as we dive into the story, the sound, and the strange beauty that still flows from this early Genesis masterpiece. #Genesis #PeterGabriel #SteveHackett #PhilCollins #TonyBanks #MikeRutherford #NurseryCryme #FountainOfSalmacis #ProgressiveRock #ProgRock #ClassicRock #MildManneredSupermen #GenesisPodcast #MusicHistory
