I was listening to Trick of the Tail, and for me, unequivocally, the 3-4 second transition between the end of Entangled (with the hauntingly angelic voices singing) and the beginning of Squonk (with the massive drum intro) is the most perfect transition between Genesis songs on any of their 15 albums. Its excellent. How about for everyone else here, are there any transitions between Genesis songs that stand out as noteworthy for you, and why?

Totally agree re. Entangled and Squonk
The bombast of In That Quiet Earth through to the melancholy of Afterglow is brilliant.
In the Rapids through to It as well.

All the transitions on side 1 of Selling England, possibly the most perfect track sequencing they ever did.
Obviously there are lots of seamless segues and cross-fades on The Lamb but I've always loved the initial one as the rumbling growling title track leads us into the dreamworld via the eerie intro of Fly.

The "Entangled"/"Squonk" transition came to my mind as soon as I saw the thread title.

Those are amazing transitions on The Lamb, another similar one being the transition between the end of Behind the Lines and the beginning of Duchess on Duke. I love that fade into Duchess with that solitary segway. Not sure what that instrument is, but it’s a cool sound.

Roland CR-78, used in Me And Sarah Jane, In The Air Tonight, Hand In Hand, and probably the whole 1984 album by Anthony Phillips.
