    Literal interpretation, nicely done. Good artwork.

    Nicely done. A bit over-literal at times maybe but the guy's obviously put a hell of a lot of work into it

    Nice to see the Firth of Forth depicted near the end...an allusion that maybe even the Genesis nerds might have missed

    ^^^

    my parents having lived in Edinburgh for six years, this was certainly NOT lost on me
    (spent two nights in the village next/under the bridge)
    my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.

    Very creative and enjoyable. I liked how each scene developed instead of just flashing images on the screen.

    Brilliant !!!!!
    Should win some-sort of Oscar or something.


    I think the guy should tackle "Gates of Delirium" next !!!!

    Fantastic work, and I love the King Crimson hands sneaking in at the end, too.

    very well done---have to subscribe to him---wonder if he lives in city---he looks young which is so great that this great music is still powerful to another generation! Supper's Ready is a masterpiece and he does it justice even if he takes it very literally.

    That's pretty awesome! Loving the little details, like the eyes opening on "Hasn't it?".

    I missed that and viewed the last 5 minutes again and still didn't see it (not have I seen the Invisible Touch hand either )

    Not there, I thought the slowly closing hand at 20:00 was but it's not, my bad.

    To be honest, I cried when the song ended. Watching this makes you more aware of the deep meaning of lyrics behind the elaborate music. Thank you for sharing.

    Is there anything wrong with a literal interpretation?

    The guy should tackle The Lamb next (yes, the whole album... should only take him a few years)

    TBH, I always thought the first line contained the words "I turned the television ON." World rocked!
