Genesis - BBC Broadcasts: a surprisingly cohesive boxed set of live odds and ends
For starters, it’s nigh impossible to encompass the arc of Genesis’s career within the confines of one release—even one that spans multiple discs . The contrast between the iconic English outfit’s seminal prog-rock period and its chart-topping synthpop era isglaring that ingesting both extremes in the same sitting would test even the most ardent of fans. Moreover,draws from a hodgepodge of different performances—often a surefire recipe for a mess of a listening experience.
After releasing a pair of LPs that saw them searching for their sound, Genesis cemented their place as progressive rock cornerstones with a four-album run from 1971 to 1974 that featured the classic lineup of Banks, frontman/flutist Peter Gabriel, bassist/guitarist Mike Rutherford, lead guitarist Steve Hackett and drummer/backing vocalist Phil Collins.
When Gabriel sings “unearthly calm descended from the sky,” the band around him really does make it sound like the sky is opening. Two more epics follow in immediate succession: “The Musical Box” and “Stagnation.” Between them, these three tracks take up nearly half an hour on their own, and they highlight just how skilled Genesis already at building suspense by this point.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, the Phil Collins-fronted lineup that churned out slick, catchy radio hits throughout the ‘80s dove into the commercialism of that decade with both feet.
