Я чувстсвую себя обязанным по отношению к "Spectral Mornings" [сольный альбом 1979 года]. Я не играю эти вещи сейчас, потому что чувствую себя обязанным сделать новые аранжировки. Иначе это будет всего лишь другая версия того, что уже есть. Унылые вялые барабаны я хочу заменить интересными идеями с перкуссией, а ритм должен стать более свободным и радостным. Мне кажется, что в большинстве случаев прогрессивный рок страдает и перегружен тягучими, медленными ритмами, которые на самом деле не соответствуют изменчивой природе вещей. Мне не очень интересны песни, которые просто являются символами своего времени, если только за ними не стоит прекрасная мелодия.

Following their 1991 We Can't Dance tour, Genesis released two live albums - Genesis Live: The Way We Walk Volume One: The Shorts and Genesis Live: The Way We Walk Volume Two: The Longs. While The Longs was aimed more at the long-term progressive fans, The Shorts was geared more toward the newer 'singles' fans.
I fit into the Longs category. Despite having great live versions of songs such as "No Son of Mine", "Mama", and "Hold on my Heart", this just doesn't do anything for me. I can pretty much do without the Invisible Touch tracks, and there's little of necessity to tracks such as "I Can't Dance" and "That's All". But i'll cut my losses now while i'm ahead. It is, after all, The Shorts, and if i didn't want to hear the shorts, i'd put in The Longs instead, no? Which i will do 10 times out of 10... all the reason i needed to part with this.
Fairly smart move, though... one live CD for the Invisible Touch Club, another for the progheads, and neither has to be bogged down by the 'other' Genesis.

Turn It On Again: The Hits is a greatest hits album by British progressive rock/pop-rock band Genesis. The album was originally released as a single album on 26 October 1999 by Virgin Records in England and by Atlantic Records in the United States.
In 2007, an expanded two-disc edition, subtitled The Tour Edition, was released to promote the Turn It on Again reunion tour. All of the tracks, except for "The Carpet Crawlers 1999," were remixed by Nick Davis. In addition, the album features more songs from every album in the band's catalogue (minus the live albums and From Genesis to Revelation). Besides the 2-CD version, a 2-CD + 2-DVD version was issued, which included The Video Show DVD and When in Rome DVD.

Instead of releasing the live document of the We Can't Dance tour as a double CD, Genesis, or some clever record executive, decided to split the material into two separate releases. The first would focus on the group's pop singles, while the second would contain their longer, more progressive work. Done this way, it's difficult to get a sense of the concert's momentum: Even the songs on each disc are shuffled from their original live order. For what it's worth, Volume One: The Shorts contains almost all the Genesis singles from 1983-1992. The band rarely stray from the studio versions of their material, and with the audience barely audible and a greatest hits collection released in 1999, the record is superfluous for all but the most die-hard fans.

Genesis are definitely special in the world of popular music. They began as a group absolutelyworship, then lost their singer and charismatic leader (Peter Gabriel), but were replaced by their drummer (Phil Collins) and, with him to the front, they met a level of unexpected popularity. In our hit series 'The Many Faces' explore the inner world of Genesis, little-known projects of its members, their collaborations, we also include some of their most emblematic songs in unfamiliar versions and discover the beginnings of the group, when they were still a group of students who never suspected that Genesis would become one of the names bound in the Rock Culture of all time. The Many Faces Of Genesis is a basic disc, showing the scenes of a single band.

A Trick of the Tail is the seventh studio album from the English progressive rock band Genesis. It was released in February 1976 on Charisma Records and was the first album to feature drummer Phil Collins as lead vocalist following the departure of Peter Gabriel. It was a critical and commercial success in the UK and U.S., reaching No. 3 and No. 31 respectively.
