I noticed that 2 hours ago Genesis posted a very interesting post on their Facebook page... https://www.facebook.com/genesis?ref=stream&fref=nf Does anyone know what this news is?! I think the fact that they have a new logo is very promising indeed...

I guess it is a tour or maybe even a new album. They're talking about "some exciting news tomorrow". Anyway, Phil Collins has shown some signs of renewed activity lately. Btw, the new logo doesnt impress me... -------------

Meh.  As a cover image it might be cool, but as a logo...not so much. A logo should say something about the band, all this says to me is that "Genesis" the band is all about "One Face" (anyone care to guess who??). As with the recent Yes debacle I am soooo wary of my heroes reforming or coming out of retirement that very little of what is said excites me these days. The proof will always be in the pudding. In the last 10 years there has only been two albums from the giants that have really resonated with me. The Keith Emerson Band and King Crimson A Scarcity of Miracles. ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

Too often the old dinosaurs deliver only decent albums in their attempts to escape their fossile state. I fear that the same will be the case with new work by Genesis. From this point of view the logo with its shadowy face makes some sense.
Nevertheless there may be some surprises: VdGG's A Grounding in Numbers was an excellent album (imho). Other good ones: Ian Anderson's Thick As a Brick 2 and Clockwork Angels by Rush. -------------

My ear to the ground (a journalist near to one of the band members) thinks that this may well mean a reunion of the three key members but also possibly with Hackett (though probably not Gabriel) with a tour, as Phil Collins has largely overcome his back injury and can gig again. ------------- A TVR is not a car.

If the Hackett part is true then this would be AMAZING! I'd like to think that it has legs as we know they've been meeting for the BBC documentary and Hackett's Genesis Revisited tour wraps up at the end of this year. Gabriel's tour wraps up in December also. Although may be being a bit too hopeful... Can't wait for tomorrow! |

Amazon shows the following: http://www.amazon.co.uk/R-Kive-Genesis/dp/B00MV5LR9K/ref=pd_ybh_1 Spanning 42 years, this 3-CD, 37-track set documents the band’s history with classic Genesis material compiled alongside selections from the solo careers of Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett, and Mike Rutherford / Mike + The Mechanics. Genesis and their associated solo projects have accumulated a remarkable and undiminished series of accomplishments over the years, and have collectively amassed an incredible fourteen chart-topping albums as well as over two dozen more which reached the Top 10. In total, Genesis and the members’ related solo projects have sold more than 300 million albums worldwide. Chronologically ordered, R-Kive features the Genesis’s biggest hits including ‘Invisible Touch’, ‘Turn It On Again’, ‘Land of Confusion’ and ‘I Can’t Dance’. Along the way it also visits Mike + The Mechanics’ classics ‘The Living Years’ and ‘Over My Shoulder’, Collins’s ‘In The Air Tonight’ and his Philip Bailey duet ‘Easy Lover’, and Peter Gabriel’s ‘Solsbury Hill’ and ‘Biko’. I have no idea if this is what the announcement will be, or if it's unrelated. We'll see.... |

I would hope the news is more exciting than this. To the hardcore Genesis fans, this would mean almost nothing, as we already have all of this music on the original albums.

Another compilation would be a HUGE middle finger to fans. That being said, im still cautiously optimistic for this announcement. The logo reminds me of the self titled 1983 album (a very good album), so if there is a new album, it will most likely be Collins, Banks, and Rutherford. And who knows, maybe Hackett will be in the lineup. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/whankggh/?chartstyle=lastfmblue" rel="nofollow">

No sh*t . Trans-Siberian Orchestra is playing in Toronto in December. Ticket Prices range from $77 to $619. Yes that's correct, $619 freakin' bucks to see a concert. Concerts, like sporting events are moving closer and closer to the domain of the rich. I appreciate the fact that these artists no longer really 'make money' with CD sales and are more or less controlled by corporate interests at just about every level, but I would love to see a classic prog artist rebel and do a series of smaller hall concerts on their own like in the good 'ol days. Low tech staging with top level playing. Hell, I'll even help care the gear in. Now that's something to crowd source. ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

I'd love to think it was a new studio album with a Hackett appearance, but I really don't think Gabriel would be involved. Although the guy is good to still be involved with discussing the band and seems to be on good terms with the others, he really left Genesis behind sooooo long ago.
But a new studio album with Phil, Mike and Tony doesn't seem that unrealistic....so many other `oldies' acts are putting out new albums, why should Genesis be any different? Just as long as it's not a freaking covers album, all good! |

| To expect a new album may seem like wishful thinking. However, Pink Floyd is releasing a new album, and I would have thought that to be even less likely; and King Crimson has reformed.

Compiled by the band themselves via a process of collaboration and elimination, ‘R-Kive’ takes an in-depth, chronological journey through the catalogue and - for the first time ever for a Genesis collection - includes three personally chosen selections from the solo careers of Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett, and Mike Rutherford / Mike + The Mechanics." |

A 37 track 3 disc album that covers their whole career? Where have I heard that before...oh yes the Platinum Collection! Except that has 40 songs to cover their career including all their hits and main Prog epics. So what's the difference? The new one contains the pop numbers of the band's solo stuff...and that's it.

BOOO !!! They announced exciting news. And a new compilation is not exciting news. It's torture to all Genesis fans who bought all the albums. Phil Collins recently announced that he would back on stage. Sure those are very small performances compared to his heyday, but he's a little active. As for the other members, they are all active in their own rights. Peter Gabriel's voice is still strong, Steve Hackett is doing a tour honouring Genesis, Tony Banks is doing classical stuff and Mike is with Mike and the Mechanics. Why not doing something while they are all still alive. Jesus Christ.

"Cha-ching!" Cashing in again. This is why people steal music off the internet. Because music distribution keeps repackaging and nothing new gets done. Example: Let's put together stuff people already have and then drop a track or 3 in there that people may not have. THIS is why people steal music. I dont know whether to blame the artist or the music "industry". As far as Genesis goes, quit dicking us around. Either perform (at a reasonable price) or make new music or quit. But all this crap about reunions and who doesn't get along with who... It's turning me off to one of my most favorite bands. If you are going to make music... MAKE MUSIC.. if not, shut up and disappear with honor. This recycling and repackaging is like a middle finger to loyal fans that have been following you for years. SHAME SHAME SHAME.

The best Genesis albums have already been made. Chances this legendary prog band would get back together and record a new album is VERY unlikely. Let's face they're just beating a dead horse. As for the compilation album, who cares? I sure don't. I already own their best albums and I don't need something compiled from someone sitting behind a desk telling me this is 'quintessential' Genesis.

Yes, but they didn't have to try and create expectation saying that they would have exciting news the next day. They could just have given the news and be done with it. If you announce something like exciting news, and they don't end up being so, well they will end up dissapointing the people who's attention they wanted to atract. Now, about the news of the compilation itself, I would only find it interesting if they included the whole Dodo song and if they restored the original plan of doing the Duke suite (I guess it would be fairly easy to edit the songs in such a way). Perhaps throw in a few unreleased tracks and that's it. |

You are probably right--BUT I think you could argue that if any super group could possibly still produce a great album it might be the original line-up or at least the Trick line up because Banks and Hackett in particular are still coming up with some great melodies.

I would love more than anybody for a Gabriel, Banks, Hackett, Rutherford, and Collins reunion album, but I don't think this will happen nor do I think the Trick line-up will happen. It's not really a question of who is capable of coming up with new material, but rather if all members involved are on the same page and really want to start writing again, which, again, is very unlikely. ------------- “Music is enough for a lifetime but a lifetime is not enough for music.” - Sergei Rachmaninov |

The thing is, unlike some others of the dinosaurs who were left broke and can really use the profits of a reunion, both the Genesis Trio and Peter Gabriel have made a lot of money anyway (Hackett probably less but I guess he can still pay his bills), so the financial pressure for a reunion is not there in this case. What I really do not get is why the hell do you make a new logo for a compilation album?????? a compilation is a look at the past, it's completely stupid to label a compilation with a brand new logo
 |
Posted By: Mirror Image
Date Posted: August 23 2014 at 09:26
Well, no, the Genesis members have plenty of money, but that's not really my point. My point is that an album of new material is unlikely because all of the members aren't on the same page. Gabriel has also mentioned before that he's not interested in writing music under the badge of Genesis anymore. Also, Banks said he wouldn't be involved in a reunion unless Gabriel was going to be involved. ------------- “Music is enough for a lifetime but a lifetime is not enough for music.” - Sergei Rachmaninov |

Well, then at least there could be a joint tour of Hackett, Collins and Rutherford. Perhaps even Anthony Phillips

This is interesting considering that Banks considers Wind & Wuthering to be one of the band's best efforts and Gabriel was nowhere in sight around this time. ------------- “Music is enough for a lifetime but a lifetime is not enough for music.” - Sergei Rachmaninov |

Yes that is true---about W&W--so you would think---but many times Banks seems to shut out that period as the three piece certainly did have over the top success without Hackett.

| Although a new logo and a compilation alubm from the Gen men is no news at all, there is exciting news anyway in the world of Genesis. Robert Ellis who photographef the band starting in 1972 will be releasing a new book about The Lamb. You can go to REPFOTO and check out some samples. It is almost available for pre-order. |

Great track selection and I like the fact that they include solo songs but why no Anthony Phillips?
