Since she sang on a Backs track - is anyone familar with her solo work and can recommend an album to start with?

Just read the very detailed 3-part history. I thought I had all their stuff, but it seems I have a few more to get! I've always thought Livestock was one of the greatest live recordings out there. Thanks for taking the time to put this together, Christian. A very pleasant read
thx. I'll forward that to Steffen!

Three members of Steve Hackett's live band have been working on a special project during the Corona-break. They have formed a band called The Backstage. Members of this band are Jonas Reingold, Craig Blundell and Rob Townsend.

We once had a regular meet-up with some Genesis fans here in Dresden. We always went to a different pub or restaurant and sometimes we asked them to play Genesis. In a greek restaurant we gave them the Abacab CD and after three tracks they basically said "sorry, this kind of punk thing doesn't work here and all the others don't like the music"
Well...

Sometimes albums disappear from iTunes and amazonMP3 as well, I think The Lamb hasn't been available in the US for a while. That's simply a contract issue. These things get licensed for a specific period and then new deals are arranged. Sometimes they simply forget to extend it.

Also looking forward to hearing the whole album. That will take a couple of more months, but hopefully worth the wait!

Yet another great release-update from his back catalogue

Display MoreI went with Melt, Security, and Passion.
Melt is where he seemed to find himself as an artist.
Security has such a great mood throughout the album. It's almost an unsettled and creepy mood at times which is fantastic.
And Passion is one of my all time favorite albums. A masterpiece and a standout from the world of Genesis. It's a journey going through that album filled with sounds of beauty, happiness, sadness, uncertainty, all in one.
interesting choice.
I also think that Passion may be his best ever album, musically, but then egain I tend to see his "normal" album as more accessible, probably I want to hear him sing ...

So, anyone heard the new Simon Collins yet?
I must say, I am rather disappointed. The sound is awful, the songs not very strong. I like the title track, but that's pretty much it ...
-
I am actually quite happy that I do not collect vinyl (don't even have a record player anymore), that saved a lot of money
-
Great news, though I don't know this album
I quite like "Children of Another God" and "n'monix", I am not really a fan of his latest one. How would you describe Inhaling Green?

A review about the book is now also available here on our website
