The song, "Keep it Dark" from the album "Abacab," was chosen by Simon and co-producer Dave Kerzner of Sonic Reality. That's one of my fave Genesis songs! I'll have to DL it when I get home. I tried the link and it was down. Maybe his MySapce page has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Slipperman Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 QUOTE (Hatchetaxe&saw @ Aug 27 2008, 02:39 AM) GENESIS 1970-75 RELEASED NOV 10 2008!!!! All albums from Trespass to Lamb, DVD footage and a disc of extras, including "Genesis Plays Jackson", a soundtrack for an aborted BBC Art film on the work of painter Michael Jackson. And there was me thinking it was their take on the Jackson 5 ouvre. Now that would be interesting. Or horrific. I cannot wait for this box to come out, if the DVDs' are anything like the other 2 sets we're in for a treat. I did not buy the previous two boxes, just a couple of the individual releases (Trick, ATTW3, and Duke) cause I wanted the extras. But, since this has the Jackson tapes, I have no choice but to buy the whole darn thing. Buyer beware though.... if you love these albums, KEEP your old albums and CDs. The remixes thus far, although very interesting, have been (mostly) highly compressed. In my mind they will never replace the original versions. Same goes for the other 2 box sets as well....

Mystic Slipperman Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 QUOTE (Gompers @ Aug 27 2008, 08:32 AM) I don't know if any of you realized Phil Collins son, Simon, is following in his dad's footsteps. I just stumbled upon this. Simon Collins Tribute to Genesis with IK and Sonic Reality Products Sunrise, FL Jun 14, 2007 in Music and Recording http://prmac.com/release-id-526.htm Sunrise, Florida: IK Multimedia and Sonic Reality are pleased to announce the release of a new single from Simon Collins featuring, for the first time in his career a cover of a Genesis song paying tribute to his father Phil Collins' work with the band. The song, "Keep it Dark" from the album "Abacab," was chosen by Simon and co-producer Dave Kerzner of Sonic Reality. "I've always had a special affinity for this song," says Collins, "and when I met Dave during Genesis' rehearsals for their upcoming reunion tour, we both agreed it would be a cool song to do together." This modernized and futuristic version of the early 1980's offbeat Genesis single, "Keep it Dark," was created by Simon and Dave from the ground up using Dave's cutting edge music software made with IK Multimedia and Sonic Reality. From virtual guitar amplifiers in products like AmpliTube and AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix™ to acoustic drums and other sounds from products such as SampleTank, Sonik Synth and Studiophonik, this track was made almost entirely inside the computer. "So many musicians, including Genesis themselves, use our software to make music with the computer," says Kerzner. "I was really excited to use these musical tools with Simon to pay tribute to one of my favorite bands, Genesis." Simon Collins' music is a fusion of pop, progressive rock and electronica and the song "Keep it Dark" has a theme that fits in with Simon's fascination with space, science, mystery and the unknown. This version takes the song into darker sonic territory and uses IK software to weave rich complex textures with dimension and edge. The song is available as a limited-time free download from: http://www.keepitdark.net For more information on Simon Collins visit: http://www.simoncollins.net and http://www.myspace.com/sonicreality Cool cover of Keep It Dark there!! It was played before the Genesis show at the Hollywood Bowl..both nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard it got delayed a bunch of times. Anyone know why? I'd heard that PG wanted more work done on the surround mix for Lamb Lies Down... I hope it's worth the wait!

moltenlava Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Genesis plays Jackson, huh? That's another reel of music I had no idea existed. They keep mounting. I came across another two just recently. A while back I told Mystic Slipperman about stumbling across the studio material on Side Four of Three Sides Live and how I hadn't heard songs like 'Paperlate' and 'You Might Recall' since their brief stint on the radio back when I was a kid. But, just this week I found a three-song EP that apparently came out in 1977. 'Spot The Pigeon' they called it. I have no idea how it was released or if many at all got to hear the thing back in the day. But, it's nothing to get real excited about anyway. Only the last track 'Inside and Out' appears to be a keeper. And, the whole lot is probably comprised of leftovers from the Wind and Wuthering sessions. Nevertheless, another three new Genesis songs for those who have never heard them. But, I'd like to know if this Pigeon EP was released as part of the second box??

And you discovered the one great track on it.."Inside And Out". It came out in summer 1977, and Genesis played "Inside and Out" live very briefly during this period. These tracks are on the "bonus disc" that came with the 1976-82 box set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moltenlava Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Nah, I just listened to it again and the lead-off track, 'Match of the Day' is catchy as all get-out. I should know by now not to judge a song on the first time I hear it, but I'll do it again tomorrow for sure. lol. Is this Genesis Plays Jackson a finished piece of music that never got published, like along the lines of Tull's Chateau D'isaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Slipperman Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I like the other two fine, but IaO is my fave of the three. Supposedly, "Genesis plays Jackson" includes bits of things that got used in later pieces. I am definitely interested in hearing this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoenataArctica Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Out of all my friends that will a,ctually listen to Genesis with me, they all prefer Phil Collins era over Peter Gabriel. I highly enjoy the Peter Gabriel era more, especially the songs; The Knife, SEBTP, Musical Box, and some others i cant name off the top of my head right now.

This is one of those issues which (IMO) has really divided the Genesis fanbase. I wonder what people will think of the remixes in 5 years... If I can find a way to post it, I will post a comparison between the original mix of Dance on a Volcano and the remix/remaster. The mix and compression differences are VERY apparent on that track. In the end, everyone decides for themselves which they prefer though! Maybe it's different for me 'cause I grew up on the original CDs (and then bought the LPs). As cool as the remixes are, for me they'll never supplant the originals. Also, I am hyper-sensitive to compression, particularly on music I know really well. So that also plays into it. To my knowledge the stereo discs are the same, UK or US. But the Surround discs are a little different. One of my buddies who has a great surround system hasn't made up his mind which versions he likes better....yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
