PROG REVIEWER

Interesting compilation of Genesis 80�southward output. Inappreciably their best, of course. Recording companies always seem to brand this kind of misleading packages, labeling their greatest hits every bit their best (well, on a 2d idea, for the recording companies their greatest hits ARE the all-time, at least for their pockets). Anyway, many primal songs, or more prog songs, of that era are missing from this collection. On the other hand, they at to the lowest degree were sensitve plenty to include two of Genesis nearly beautiful songs at that time: Man On The Corner and the not bad Domicile By The Bounding main (a song that really shows they still could produce a truly prog jewel fifty-fifty at their popiest period).

If you similar practiced pop music, with some strong progressive influences, and still have none of Genesis lxxx�s albums, this might be a expert starting point to get to know their work at the time. Other than that I tin can�t recommend this anthology to anyone else. There is nothing new hither and the live tracks don�t add anything that you haven�t heard before (and, in the case of Firth of fifth, improve). Two stars.

I have to say that in the eighties information technology was much ameliorate for me to listen to the Pop Rock music that some Prog Rock bands similar GENESIS and YES were recording and releasing then than to nearly of the music that was played in the radio. So, while some GENESIS`southward albums from that decade really were non very interesting and adept in comparison to some of their other albums from the seventies, I nonetheless liked some songs from those albums.

This compilation, which I never bought despite seeing it in some record shops in my metropolis (just I listened to it a few times thanks to a friend who had information technology) has some songs taken from the albums that the band released betwixt 1981 and 1983, plus two live tracks which were previously available only equally B-sides of some singles. Some of them were and withal are among my favourite songs from those by and large Pop Rock albums, but for me some of them are still not among the best that the band released during that flow.

So, this compilation has the adjacent songs:

- From the album "Abacab" (1981): "No Reply At All", "Man On The Corner". I still like both songs.

- From the "3X3" (1982) EP and also released in the Us and German language versions (and in other countries too, similar Mexico, only except in the U.K.) of the "3 Sides Live" (1982) album: "Paperlate". A good song with the EWF horns. Also released as a unmarried in the U.S.

- From the "Three Sides Live" (1982) anthology: "Misunderstanding", "Follow You lot, Follow Me", and "Abacab". 3 good songs from that anthology.

- From the album "Genesis" (1983): "Mama", "Home By The Sea", "That's All", "Illegal Alien", "Taking Information technology All Too Hard": Five songs taken from their self-titled anthology from 1983, which I still think that it is their worst anthology ever. Simply I simply like from all these songs "That`due south All" and ""Taking All Too Hard". This version of "Dwelling house past the Sea" is edited a scrap at the end using a fade-out. I all the same consider "Illegal Alien" as their worst song ever. Too much songs taken from this album.

Plus:

- "Turn Information technology On Over again Medley (Live)": recorded at the Spectrum, Philadelphia, 27-Nov-83. As well released as the B-side of the "Illegal Conflicting" single. "Plough It On Once more" is followed by a Medley with several songs (covers) from other bands and singers of the sixties. Information technology really was not played very well in this case, every bit other performances of similar Medleys are meliorate, in my stance. This kind of Medleys were played every bit encores by the band in their 1983-84 and 1986-87 tours and also at the Knebworth Festival in 1990, just with some changes in content. Some of the songs covered by GENESIS in these Medleys were from THE ROLLING STONES, THE WHO, WILSON PICKETT, THE KINKS, and even from THE Police and CULTURE Order (!!!???) in 1984.

-" Firth Of 5th (Live)": recorded at the Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, 29-Nov-81. From one of the shows from which several songs were also recorded and included in the "Iii Sides Live" album. This version was also included in a Fexidisc (for which I also wrote a review in Prog Archives). It too was released as the B-side of the "That`s All" 12" unmarried. It is possibly the but officially released complete live version of this song with Daryl Stuermer on lead guitar. This alive version also lacks the piano introduction from the original studio version (like the alive version from their live album "Seconds Out"), but it is about complete in comparing to later versions of this song with Stuermer which were played as office of Medleys of old songs from the band in their 1992 and 2007 tours.

Well. This compilation has some good songs, but possibly it could be more interesting for the fans of the most Pop Stone music that the band released in the eighties. Maybe the inclusion of the alive version of "Firth of Fifth" and of the "Turn It On Again Live Medley" makes it more interesting for the near dedicated collectors and fans of the band.

Another Genesis compilation in the Collins era and notable actually for having some live tracks rarely seen on a compilation.

From the album "Abacab" (1981) is No Reply At All and Man On The Corner that are fairly decent songs. Too from the "Three Sides Live" (1982) album is Paperlate, Misunderstanding, Follow Yous, Follow Me and Abacab that are practiced examples of the quality on this double LP.

From the anthology "Genesis" (1983) are well known tracks Mama, Home Past The Sea, That's All, and these are excellent but we could accept been spared the poppy kitsch stench of Illegal Alien. Also Taking It All Too Hard is not much amend just they were hits somewhere in the earth of popular.

The tracks that held my interest were the other live cuts including Turn It On Again Medley which was recorded at the Spectrum, Philadelphia, in tardily 1983. It is an intriguing mixture of songs and used as an encore in their 80s live shows.

Firth Of Fifth was recorded at the Nassau Coliseum, Long Isle, in late 1981 and is always a great musical experience featuring Daryl Stuermer on atomic number 82 guitar, a terrific version of slap-up quality well worth checking out.

So this anthology is a curio collectors piece for Genesis freaks similar me and very hard to find these days so keep an middle out for information technology.
