The 3x3 Album......

What is your thought about the 3x3 album? I have grown very fond of the extra tracks Genesis would provide some "B" sides that have become quite popular. Since we have not had any new original music in such a long time, the "B" sides provide for some great music. Some Genesis fans treat them as inferior. It was never considered by the band as inferior music. It just did not fit in within an album's concept or conceptually it was too complicated to fit in the time constraints of vinyl. Either way, it's Genesis and we love the extra tracks as much as we love the albums!

Shhhhh..... listen to the birth of Los Endos.....

It's Yourself. A very psychedelic tune. (In my opinion....very psychedelic) The magic of the song is the Sitar. It provides very strange sounds that make me crave for the 60's and 70's. I can see why this sound was cut, while many fans do not believe it should have been. If you listen closely enough, you can hear a bit of Los Endos in the song. The intro was reused from a small portion of It's Yourself.

Facebook and Blog starting to develop.

Well, I would have like to have more stories and collections for the archive. But we are slowly growing. The FB page is nearing 100 Friends. The Blog is beginning to develop and archive the history. So far 600 people have visited the blog. People have contributed to each which is so fun for me as a fan of Genesis. I am hoping to have a weekend to go back and go through so many great contributions and posts. Thanks for your support!

Have that talk while breaking into a home.....

Ah Home By The Sea....a simple burglary botched by Ghosts. Is it really botched? Or just a story to be told? This is the magical imagery of Genesis. Some fans want to believe it was left behind in 1974. But this song has all the imagination of any Genesis song. Phil sings with emotion and each change in his voice represents a change in the story. You won't get away through the rest of your days.....SIT DOWN!   Let us relive our lives.....just magic. A signature piece from a time when the band reenergized the music.

And, think about how music inspires art....love this video
