Early Genesis fans, check this out...[views:5299][posts:10]________________________________________ [Oct 27,2012 8:40am - my_dying_bride ""] Steve Hackett recorded Genesis classics (again) 'Genesis Revisited II' is nearly 150 minutes of music, what Hackett himself calls "a project of Wagnerian proportions! For the most part I’ve followed the arrangements we had first time around. But each vocalist has added their own character." The vocalists include Steven Wilson, Mikael Akerfeldt, Simon Collins (Phil Collins' son), Conrad Keely, Francis Dunnery, Neal Morse, John Wetton, Nad Sylvan and Nik Kershaw. There are also two other guitarists apart from Hackett, namely Steve Rothery of Marillion and Roine Stolt of The Flower Kings and Transatlantic. In all, you’ll hear around 35 guests. "What I’m doing is celebrating music without prejudice, which was what Genesis stood for back then. We really had no limits, everything was possible. You could have short songs, long songs, loud bits, quiet moments, pantomime, humour, big band sounds, jazz, classical music…there was no barrier to what we were doing. This time around, I’ve tried to satisfy what everyone wants, including myself. Initially, I was thinking of just going for the best songs not featured on the first 'Revisited' album. But then people thought I should do those tracks where the guitar was emphasized. So, I’ve done both. I’ve also included four songs, which have Genesis connections, where the song was written originally for the band, or rehearsed by them. For instance, there’s ‘Please Don’t Touch’, which I wrote for Genesis but eventually ended up recording myself." Steve Hackett – a man who can celebrate his illustrious past by making it relevant to the present and the future. Now that’s progressive. This gargantuan vinyl import comes on four slabs of wax, and adds 2 CDs of the same music, making this the absolute most well-rounded version of this release available. (2012) [img] Disc 1 1.

I'm one of the few out there that doesn't like the pre-Collins era. Gabriel hadn't matured yet, and the whole band wandered pretty badly on most of the material. It wasn't til Collins came in that the whole prog thing clicked. He has a way of making off times sound perfectly poppy and natural. See "Turn it On Again". |
