A New Arrival!


Its the new Genesis CD/SACD/DVD Box set from 1976 - 1982

It is amazing to hear the old albums remastered and remixed. A whole new listening experience! I recommend them to any Genesis fan.

The songs have been given a real breath of fresh air. The small idiosyncrasies in the music have been pushed forward just that little bit more. The cabasa in the Keys solo in "Lurker", the backing harmonies in a lot of the songs are much more evident, the whole thing has been given width. Much more colour in the darkness that is Wind & Wurthering. The guitar riffs in "No Reply" and "Sarah Jane" really gives a little inside to his riff like stuff in the next few albums. Trick is probably the best remix of all of them without a doubt. The bonus disc of the B sIdes is also great to here, although they are mostly all evident on Archive 2, they are loveingly touched up here. Booklets excellent ... some new insight in the interviews (I have only seen the "Duke" one so far).

Looking forward to the next release already ... which, of course, will be Kippa
