I haven't listened much to any neo-prog acts since 1990.

Well, I've got one Dream Theatre album, and two Ayreons, if these count as neo-prog, then that's my neo-prog collection. And the only one I really like of these is Ayreon's Human Equation. But back to the topic.

CAS is not one of the albums I play frequently; truth be told, it is probably in the group of the less-frequently-listened-to Genesis albums... together with ATTW3, SEBTP, Duke, Abacab, Genesis and We Can't Dance. And FGTR, of course.

I enjoy listening to it, though. Yes, the fadeouts get on my nerves, and not all the songs are perfect (but there are only two "survivors" on We Can't Dance, either, so there). But some very fine songwriting on the album songs and on the b-sides, too. Banjo Man, for example, is a wonderful piece. Well, at least I think so.
