io non l'ho trovato...box set 1976/1982

Postby valentino » 22 Jan 2009, 12:22

ci sarà sicuramene l'argomento ma io non l'ho trovato cercando sul forum quindi ne ho aperto uno nuovo:

appartengo alla corrente ereticale (ma non troppo penso) che considera l'ultimo album degno di nota dei genesis "duke" ( e ho pure fatto un passo avanti..l'anno scorso pensavo fosse "and then there were..." :-) ) quindi ero indeciso (visto anche il prezzo) se acquistare o meno questo box set. ho sbirciato quà e là per vedere i contenuti presenti. da super-partes me lo consigliate?
tenete presente che i miei unici video genesis consistono in: belgio 1972-box set 1970/75-lyceum 80-the gabriel era con libretto e spezzoni di filmato.
grazie sin d'ora
ciao

vale la pena davvero...considera ce oggi su amazon lo trovi a circa 85 euro + spedizione e solo due mesi fa costava almeno vnti euro di più...oppure aspetta chescenda un altro pò, ma - eretico onon eretico - ne vale la pena[;)]

leggi questa bella recensione

- A TRICK OF THE TAIL -
The oldest album of the set, and one that has improved significantly in terms of sound. Also, this disc has the most generous offering of extras: As every disc, the promo videos from this album, that being Robbery, Assault and Battery, Ripples and A Trick of the Tail; hardly that interesting, bearing in mind that these same videos were recently released on the Video Show DVD. A re-isue interview with each band member about the general situation of the band at this time, and the songs of the album. The interviews are really nice, and offers a great insight in the band and the album. On the downside, I will mention that the interviews are only available in stereo sound, this is annoying if you prefer the 5.1 or DTS surround mixes, because the interviews will hardly be audible with you changing the audio settings of your amplifier to stereo mode.

The real gem here, however, is the *complete* In Concert 1976 footage. Though more or less inferior versions have circulated among the fans for some time, it is good finally to have this wonderful show released on DVD from official site. Again, the sound is only in stereo, but it does sound amazing, and the performance, including I Know What I Like, Fly On A Windshield, Carpet Crawlers, Cinema Show part II, Entangled, Supper's Ready parts 5, 6 and 7, and Los Endos, is excellent.

Finally, there are visuals from a tour programme from this time, which isn't that that interesting.


- WIND AND WUTHERING -
This was always one of my favorite albums, and the new mixes sound just beautiful - Eleventh Earl of Mar, One For The Vine, and Unquiet Slumbers for The Sleepers In That Quiet Earth particularly blew me away.

The extras on this disc is a real let down. The interviews are really nice, but the overdubbed bootleg videos from US and Japan television are for me completely worthless. I am particularly dissapointed with the band deciding only to include Video footage, and not Audio footage from this town - there are tons of important live recordings lying around from this time, and any offering from the band would have been greatly appreciated. Also, if they wanted only video footage, they could have included the Seconds Out promo footage from Dallas.


- AND THEN THERE WERE THREE ... -
This was always one of the less appreciated albums, but personally I like it quite a lot. Though not the most profound of the band's albums in terms of musical quality, it is a very coherent album, and the production is nice. It is also one of the few albums where most of the songs sound better on the album that they actually did live. The new surround mix of Down And Out was one I had particularly looked forward to.

The exrtas on this disc is a mixed bag of candies. I'm very pleased to see the Three Dates With Genesis documentary included, a 50 minutes documentary following the band - and the crew! - on tour. But again, the lack of video footage from this era meens that we are completely derived of live footage. This tour accompagnying this album is one of the "lost" Genesis tours, where only small remnants have been released, and it would have been really nice to have some more audio footage included here. The fans certainly would have appreciated it much more than the promo videos - again! - and the programme images.


- DUKE -
By many considered the best album of the era, and probably rightfully so. The music is amazing, and the new surround mix of Behind The Lines is breathtaking. And Heathaze, one of their most overlooked songs, sounds amazing!

The extras are very good - included is the "Old Grey Whistle Test" footage from Lyceum, London, sadly only including the songs Behind The Lines / Duchess / Guide Vocal / In The Cage / Slippermen / Afterglow / Dance On A Volcano / Los Endos, but still essential footage, and the quality is amazing. I guess one can ask for no more.


- ABACAB -
Not one of my favorite albums, the songs always sounded better live than on the disc, but ironically one that is treasured by the band as well as many fans. The extras for this disc are truly disspointing, only including the promo videos, the interview, and still from the tour programme. Even though it is probably too much to ask for, I cannot help but feel it would have been natural to use this opportunity to release the Three Sides Live video footage on DVD, like they did with the In Concert video on the Trick Of The Tail disc.


- BONUS DISC -

The disc includes all - ALL - the B-sides from this era. Yes, this time we get also Match Of The Day and Me And Virgil, thank you! [These tracks were left off Archive II because the band felt they were of inferior quality.] As an interesting note, it seems they have restored the original version of Submarine, instead of the doctored version included on Archives II due to damaged masters!

About the extras on the disc - again, one could have hoped they would have included some "special" treat for those who actually bought the box-set, but no, all we get is the same Paperlate footage (overdubbed) as on the Video Show DVD, and a - rather short - interview on the general procedure of preparing this boxset. Dissapointing.

Valentino, attenzione: c'è scritto 'Genesis', ma dentro non c'è Pìter [J-,] - io ho chiesto i soldi indietro. [:D]

Da gabrieliano quale sono ti dico PRENDILO!!!! Ne vale davvero la pena e gli extra sono davvero notevoli

Valentino prendilo perchè merita, c'è scritto Genesis ed infatti sono i Genesis "veri" (1975-2007, 32 anni di carriera contro gli appena 6 dei primi Genesis "arcaici")! Davide, tièèèèè [:D][:D]

Metto le faccine perchè altrimenti qualche burlone apre un flame lungo un chilometro!

Saluti,
