Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) This sound sample shows an extract from the segments of music that have been critically praised, and allows the reader to identify their musical structure.

"One of the finest nine and half minutes of music that Genesis ever put down ... there is a passage that begins in Eb major; the Eb major chord is suddenly interpreted as a major triad in the lower sixth degree of G, which is established through a bVI - bVII - I progression" (Edward Macan, Rocking the Classics: English Progressive Rock and the Counterculture. Oxford University Press. ISBN 978-0-195-09887-7)

"He [Steve Hackett] contributed an emotionally charged solo, which many still regard as the crowning moment of his time with the band." (David Bowler, Bryan Day, Genesis - A Biography, Sigwick & Jackson Ltd. ISBN 978-0-283-06132-5)

"It'll always be twinned with me, and I still enjoy playing it. It's a great melody for guitar" (Steve Hackett, quoted in Dave Thompson, 1000 Songs that Rock Your World: From Rock Classics to one-Hit Wonders, the Music That Lights Your Fire. Krause Publications. ISBN 978-1-440-21879-8)

Not replaceable with
textual coverage because
(WP:NFCC#1)
While reliable sources cover the track (as given in the above extracts), they do so as a critical commentary or describing its composition history under a Genesis fan's point of view, rather than a neutral one. The technical details of the track would be too lengthy and cumbersome to represent as text.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) This sound sample will only be used in the article about the song and its parent album, and will be the only sample on both articles. The length ( < 25 seconds) is under the standard 30 second limit for audio samples and less than 10% of the track's overall length ( > 9 minutes 30 seconds).
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
This audio is mono, sampled at 22.05KHz. The commercially available version of the track is stereo, sampled at 44.1KHz.
