I only recently found out about this fantastic band and now desperately trying to get my hands on as much of their music as I can. Absolutely beautiful. Cannot wait to see you perform in Wolverhampton in June!

Just back from the Spirit of 66 in Verviers, Belgium - where it was my privilege to attend the Blue Show (Foxtrot). Saw the band live three times - and this gig was even better than last year's (Nursery Crime). The Watch takes me to a point where I really wonder which is best... The guys simply do not get the recognition and awareness they deserve. Many thanks for the great music - and for the kindness and availability after the show. See you again very soon. All the best!!!

Grazie mile a tutto el grupo The Watch ! J'étais au concert vendredi ce 22 février au Triton et c'était sublime. Quel merveilleux moment musical, moment magique, frôlant le divin pour moi inconditionnel paroissien de la progressive de Genesis ... et fan de la première heure de ce groupe rencontré en 1ère partie de the musical box à l'olympia en 2008. Quel chemin dans la perfection de l'interprétation. En plus ils composent comme les fils spirituels de la genèse progessive des 70ies. Quelle maîtrise du repertoire à la hauteur de l'extrême gentillesse des membres du groupe : le très talentueux Marco Fabbri (le batteur qui parle très bien le français !) redoutablement fort, monumental de finesse et en précision, Simone Rossetti qui sourit avec ses yeux lorsque tu le remercies de l'extrême bon moment dont il t'a enchanté avec sa flûte traversière et sa voix divine, Giorgio Gabriel qui joue du Hacket dans le texte et en original (Horizon's sur une 12 cordes ..), Gulgliemo Mariotti aussi sérieux qu'un pape lorsqu'il joue mais quelle bulle agréable à entendre et quel talent : bass pedal, 12 cordes et chant ..., Enfin Velerio de Vittorio autant Banks que Tony, à portée d'oreille ce sourcier et sorcier du Melotron avait le son, les notes, et le rythme. Ce fut probablement l'un de mes meilleurs concerts (j'y vais rarement je reconnais...). Hey guys please come back in Paris you are welcome at any time to play this type of music. Dominique

Perchè non pubblicate i cd in mp3 a pagamento sul sito. Sono praticamente introvabili.

Hello there! I'm a The Watch fan and a musician...and of course my favourite instrument is the mellotron! I grow up with progressive music, so i know all the 70's instruments like mellotron moog hammond moog taurus rickenbacker bass and 12 strings guitar since i was 14 years old! The Watch's music is fantastic and the mellotron is very rilevant in making their music so wonderful! I love The Watch and Genesis and all Progressive music and instruments! Let's keep alive all this, guys...

I think the poor boy needs to play a 'tron and then he will understand WHY it is a religion. We have had two M400s and now have M4000 number 5 from Streetlys. Once played always loved... faults, foibles eta ll! Can't wait for the show in November! Bring it on!!! Tracy (Jarrelook - www.jarrelook.co.uk)

Have you all become mad ? Mellotron is certainly a good instrument that I like, but why are you making a religion of it ? Do you have plans to open "12-string guitar" or "bass pedals" sections ? How about a "tambourine and flute" section ?

Hi Guys, I am a French afficionado of the mellotron and I really appreciate that this instrument carry on to be performed in 2009, specially with bands playing Crimsonian Music and previous Genesis standards, specially "The Watch" band, I have seen ans heard during its Paris concert at the end of February (Le Triton). This concert has really supported all the emotional spirit of the Genesis first period (from Trespass, to Nursery Cryme) and everyone in the concert hall has spent more than 2 wonderful hours. The only thing which could have been improved, was... There was no Mellotron for this concert (the "Tron" sound played was sampled). Everybody knows it is very difficult to carry such "a piece of furniture", but its magical (and unique) sound would have fully completed the "Genesis spirit", at the same time as the specific (and interesting) "Watch" musical production. Please, when you will comme back to Paris in 2010 to play the following Genesis songs (and new releases of "The Watch"), don't forget to carry your "Tron". One more teime, congratulation for your efforts : carry on and "don't give up !" (would have sayd P. Gabriel himself).

Merci de valoriser un instrument qui le mérite. Et vous êtes un des seul groupes qui actuellement le faites très bien...Tous vos morceaux ou presque, vous avez un passage de mellotron. Et c'est fantastique comme vous savez le faire vibrer... Mais vite une autre galette, je ne fais qu'attendre... Georges Romanens

Wow! A truly amazing sound!
