Thank you. Looking forward to it. BTW, good for Phil (and his management team) for doing this. Same for PG with his new Rated PG album. Great idea, and some fresh music for fans to listen to in the highest possible quality (as opposed to some youtube recording).

I am thrilled i have discovered the rich history of Genesis (was previously just a fan of 80's work onward). Now i'm a Genesis mega-fan and am trying to find everything they ever did, having to do a lot of catching up, and realizing i have missed out big time and may be too late to the party. Thankful though for what i am able to engage in today even if it's not much.

That said! Were any of y'all around during the heyday of Peter Gabriel's Full Moon Club, and can speak to the experience? I tried to go back and access the website and there is content, but certainly nothing to download and listen to. For example, i see on the PG Recording Compendium. I would love to have these but alas, no longer available.

Liquid Selves (Peter Gabriel/John Paul Jones)

Recording date: 1991/92

Released: 1992 - animation clip by Karls Sims for Memory Palace/Barcelona & Art Futura

Feed The Flame [Downside Up Demo]

Recording date: 1991/92

Released: 23rd May 2005 - Peter Gabriel "Full Moon Club" (mp3 download)

Sky Blue (Demo)

Recording date: 1991/92

Released: 22nd June 2005 - Peter Gabriel "Full Moon Club" (mp3 download)

Is there a master list of all the content PG released via that club? Did he also release CD's at any point with rare content? Are those cataloged anywhere with links to possible online locations that would let you hear them. I wish PG would bring that club back, as i would glady pay to join.

Does anyone know if all the demo snippets/excerpts from XPLORA1 are online for listening/downloading anywhere? I tried to listen to the YouTube videos that play through XPLORA1 but i cant figure out which musical segments are which. Surely someone has these downloaded and collected somewhere together. Here are the tracks (according to the excellent and vital PG Recording Compendium).

• N'Doh
• The Eye
• Taste Of Lime
• Lovetown
• Burn You Up

Thanks!!

Can someone put together a list of tracks that are unique to this release? i'm not interested in the remixes, just the original tracks that cant be found anywhere else at the moment (not including out-of-print releases). In other words, since they started rematering and re-releasing all of Phil's work.

Does anyone have the complete set of dates for the USA Tour of The Musical Box? it looks like the closest date to Raleigh, NC is the Washington, DC date. Anyone going to that (and are tickets still available)?

What can you tell me about the Peter Gabriel tracks that didn't make "So" but were recorded around that time? Are these true "So" b-sides? or just tracks recorded around the time of "So"?

A Curious Business - anyone heard this one?

Thank you in advance!

It's hard to pick the top album because I have two competing criteria. In terms of the number of tracks I enjoy, NJR wins (love Inside Out, We Said Hello Goodbye, Take Me Home, etc.). In terms of ground-breaking and most "Genesis-like" I go with Face Value.

At one point I was convinced I could hear Peter Gabriel clearly on the background vocals of TMH. But now I cant. I'd also love to hear those channels isolated. If only we could get a 5.1 mix of the Phil albums. Paging Nick Davis!

Anytime we see new activity from Genesis, is a cause for celebration.

Anyone going to see Musical Box in Arlington Virginia on June 2nd?

I cant find it anywhere (even ebay). Anyone have a copy they want to sell?

Does anyone know what the USA tour dates are? Need to figure out where best to see them. I live in Raleigh, NC.

that was cool. cant wait to hear the Rutherford parts.

So we've all been waiting for Cherry Red Records/Esoteric to finish releasing Tony Bank's solo catalog. They started with "A Chord Too Far", and then released great editions of Curious Feeling and Fugitive. But then they just stopped. It's been years and nothing to report. Well, today as I was lamenting that fact and tweeting at Esoteric/Cherry Red, I found a Spotify playlist that Tony Banks's group had put together. So I looked at what songs they chose, and sure enough, there were tracks from Banksstatement, Still & Strictly, Inc. Previously Spotify only had the first two albums, and a Chord Too Far. So at some point the other albums were added. Here's the interesting part. Each album says "Copyright Cherry Red Records". Which means Cherry Red DID indeed BUY the rights to all of the albums, just as Tony said in the interview on http://www.genesis-news.com. And while they haven't released them for purchase, it appears they HAVE released them for streaming. In that same interview, Tony says "I did the remixes with Nick Davis. We’ve already done A Curious Feeling, so that was improved quite a bit when we did that. We then did mainly work on The Fugitive and Bankstatement.". So my question is "is Banksstatement" on Spotify, the original recording or the Nick Davis remasters? I'm not sophisticated enough of an audiophile to figure that out. But I played my original recording against the Spotify version and the Spotify version does sound a bit richer and fuller. ANyone else want to compare? Also, while this isn't a full release, it DOES mean Cherry Red is doing SOMETHING with this music (better than nothing). (iTunes also has all the albums). Thoughts??

Anyone know if the Wicked Lady CD that was on sale in 2013 is still available anywhere? I became a mega Genesis fan 5-10 years too late...

Anyone heard the pieces of Los Endos in the b-side track "It's Yourself"? I kept thinking it would be cool to splice these together and sure enough someone already did...

Maybe this is the way the track originally was structured. Genesis is well known for their "bits". And thankfully, no "bits" goes wasted.

My understanding is that Undertow from ATTWT had more music to it but the band didn't include it, so Tony Banks used that music on his first solo album (it became "From the Undertow", IIRC). Has anyone listened to both pieces and heard any connections between the two? I had an idea of splicing the two tracks together somehow, but I can't say I hear the connection.

Christian, what do you mean that the Blu-ray wasn't in line with their plans? What plans do they have (if at all)?

Yeah, I dont need anything new. I just need the opportunity to purchase. At least keep the stuff in print, right?

Also listening to the Yes featuring ARW release. I made a 5.1 mix from my Blu-ray copy and it sounds great in my car's 5.1 system. One gripe though. Too many "crowd applauses". It's way overkill.
