11-13-09 Genesis / Peter Gabriel
I watched some Genesis videos tonight. No, not the DVD’s in the new boxed sets – but a 1991 laser disc called “Genesis – A History”, which has some very neat stuff in it – interviews with Jonathan King, Anthony Philips etc. I really liked “Foxtrot” when I first heard it, on the FM radio, late at night. But I could never quite get into “The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway” – just couldn’t see it (literally). So, I “never went there”.

But this is really as far as I get with this train of thought. I have CD’s of some of PG’s 90’s albums, too (“Us”, “Up”. “Ovo” etc.) – I am a fan of his Realworld label, I have about 50 or so of those CD’s. I wouldn’t mind finding SACD’s of PG albums #2 & #3 – I wonder if they’re multi-channel or merely stereo, as the debut is?
I recently found an SACD of his collection album “Shaking The Tree – Sixteen Golden Greats”. Looks like it’s merely stereo and not multi-channel. So, why was this made into an SACD? And PG’s solo SACD’s (in the

While in Canada last summer, Sue picked up a used RM of Lamb and though it had been about 28 years since I had last listened to it, I was surprised to note that the music was still in my cells. That is to say, I anticipated each word and note while it was playing through. So I guess I "got it." Did I miss it in the last 28 years? Not really. Nor did I miss Foxtrot or Nursery Cryme. I heard neither Trespass, Live nor Selling England By The Pound back in the day.
Would I miss PGs first 4 solo albums? Absolutely.
