PC is also a huge cricket fan.

Thanks for getting a Phil mention in there.

I hope that link works!

Thank you for that link. That was a good listen

Quote from Rigsby

This is absolutely not what the magazine was alluding to. Something more will be announced soon.

But, how do we really know what the magazine was referring to? There is nothing in the magazine other than one sentence at the very end of an article stating that a new expanded edition was going to be released later this year. They didn't cite any source for this, they didn't give any details.

Mojo magazine reported in 2020 that an expanded edition of The Lamb was coming out that year.

Look, I really hope this happens, but I'm not holding my breath. I've been burned before.

Could this be what the magazine was alluding to?

Ordered mine today

There's no link, but somebody on another message board said the latest edition of Record Collector said there will be a 50th Anniversary Edition of The Lamb

DecomposingMan .....I had never actually paid any attention to the lyrics before.....they are bad. But, doesn't really kill my enjoyment of the song. I typically don't pay much attention to lyrics on most songs, I'm much more into the music itself.

Calling All Stations

There Must Be Some Other Way

The Dividing Line has some great instrumental stuff, but I don't care much for the sung part. The only song I dislike is 'If That's What You Need'

For me, I've never really cared what the lyrics meant. For that matter, I never cared if they meant anything, as long as the song sounds good.

I've read interviews with Peter Gabriel where he mentioned he picked words that sounded good as opposed to those that made the most sense.

Having said that, I dislike 'Man of Our Times', but not necessarily for the same reason as the rest of you

Just saw on Facebook that Richard MacPhail passed away yesterday.

The squeak on the guitar strings just bothers me for some reason.

I gave it an 8. It's pleasant enough, but nothing I'd go out of my way to listen to. Which I guess is how I feel about most of Ant's music, although I really like his first 4-5 albums

No new music from Phil

Quote from IWishItWouldRainDown

I could see why some associate 'Driving the Last Spike' with summer. It sounds like a piece for a number of an opening ceremony of the Olympics. As the Games usually take place in the Northern Hemisphere summer, hence the connection.

This seems like a real stretch. I'm not sure how it sounds like a piece for an opening Olympic ceremony. And if it does, maybe it sounds like a piece for the Winter Olympics

I wonder who they think will purchase this.

I'm guessing most hardcore Tony Banks fans already own all three. And, I can't imagine a 3 CD set will be cheap, so I don't see a whole lot of people picking up just out of curiosity.

I think the only Genesis song by Tony Banks with simple lyrics is Afterglow.

Many Too Many

Hadn't heard this one for 30+ years. After one listen, I give it a nine. I definitely prefer the second half of the song to the first, but it never really catches fire for me.

Rick Wakeman presents "The Genesis Story"

Quote from BillysNumber

Was the full Lamb concert ever filmed? I would love to see a blu ray of the entire stage performance, with all the effects, screens and costumes etc.

According to the band, no.

I don't think it was ever released as a single in the US.

Very pleasant pop song, I gave it a 13.

Looks like wrong song is linked in Christian's post

Am I the only one seeing a link to "It's Gonna Get Better" on YouTube in Christian's original post? Rather than a link to "You Might Recall"?
