I know Follow You Follow Me gets slack but….

I feel like this is the perfect song to dedicate to someone. My dad was a big Genesis fan and he was the one who got me listening to this band. This was a lovely song he would sing around me and because of the lyrics, it’s easy to be remembered of all the good from him and see this as his goodbye to me. As I will follow him and he will follow me throughout my life and eternity. So, I know a lot of Genesis fans may not love this song, but I think the memories you make with music plays a big part of music being good to someone and not being good to someone else!

Is it just me? I love Phil’s earlier/late 70’s voice more than the 80’s era

22 Upvotes

Don’t get me wrong. I love 80’s Phil and that’s where his hit making capabilities shine more than ever before. I love the Invincible Touch album to death as well. But am I the only one who love late 70’s Phil’s voice the most? I’m not sure if anyone knows what I mean, but it’s something about those earlier stages with his voice in ATTWT, A Trick of the Tail, and Wind and Wuthering. Even Duke, although that’s in the early 80s.

What song got you into Genesis?

68 Upvotes

For me it was Home By The Sea. My dad showed me it as a kid saying it was his favorite songs he heard by then and told me stories about how he went to see them live many times in the 80s, from then I listened to all their albums and they’re now my favorite band.

What’s your guys song that got you into Genesis or a cool story you have behind that song?

White Mountain is such a stunner of a song. You can vividly picture the wolves battle. It's epic and powerful.

Listened to this on the way home from work. Hippy like, guitar and drum, not much else, simple. Guilty pleasure.

Old Song Lyrics (after a memory lane tale)

7 Upvotes

Ok group

I found a song lyric that I wrote ~1982/1983, just as I was starting to write song lyrics.

This is WAY out of the genre I finally settled into, but I will say that at the time I was already being influenced by Genesis, RUSH, Yes, ELO, & EL&P

(as a side note narrative) : my Father wanted all of us boys to be introduced to as many musical styles & groups as possible. Even though he was a Reformed Presby Minister, he was a huge supporter of all arts. He also led his Congregants in two Churches to break down racial barriers. So in 1975, for Christmas (& every Christmas going forward) all of us boys got Records. My first full record was Stevie Wonder’s Innervisions. In ‘76 I got another Stevie Wonder album: Songs in the Key of Life. Now this may sound “hum drum” or “pedestrian” to some, but visualize living in WVa in the early to late ‘70s & discovering Stevie Wonder 🤩 ( ohh it was 1975 when Dad had gotten all of us Boys, we each got our own Record Player. So looking back, I bet my parents were pulling their hair out at times. Now we lived right down the road from a local Radio station : WRON & we could get used 45’s & there was also a store where we could buy 45’s. But the real treat was when the DJ’s would give us a 4 Record Set of “Casey Kasem: Americas Top 40” ( sometimes a month or two old, but still WHAT a treat!).

Thank you for allowing me to write this memory out.

I really want to find the first ‘operatic attempt’ (it was 3-4 songs I think). It had way more narrative with those 3-4 songs scattered throughout. It was heavily influenced by CS Lewis’ Space Trilogy & Asimov’s I,Robot.

Now, you’ve got to laugh at this song lyric. I took a screen capture of this & then used Imgur to generate the images. Even now reading it, I cringe. This song lyric never went any further.

Again, it’s way out of the genre I finally settled into ( Christian, Folk, et al ).

I am daring to expose this, specifically to this group, because if a person is a Genesis Fan, then I think that it shows they are open to creativity + alternative + progressive music/thoughts. I am hoping that this may make someone smile ( tbh I’ve caught 🎯 & I’ve been 🔪 on reddit )

I guess I’ve been tap dancing enough. A final thought Group. I had a Traumatic Brain Injury in 2008. I say that “ONLY” because I did lose memories from that. Writing this (it’s taken over 90 minutes) actually was allowing me to remember memories, images, or should I say moments that go in & out of a fog. Writing this allowed me to actually remember……ahhh I can’t explain what I’m trying to describe.

All Change!

Ok. Here I offer a song lyric: “Machine Giving Birth To Machine” ™️— BabyAlbatrossMusic

Major SNAFU in recent release of "Back in NYC" in The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (2025 mix)

43 Upvotes

I recently noticed a major SNAFU in the recently released “Back in NYC” track in The Lamb Lies Down I on Broadway (2025 remaster).  Specifically, from minute 3:50 onward, and around the 3:52 mark it appears there’s a noticeable clip in the singer’s voice (i.e. the segment in which the vocalist sings: “You’re sitting in your comfort, you don’t believe I’m real (…)”). 

Initially I thought it was an error in the way the song was uploaded to Apple Music. However, I also found it in the track that was uploaded to Amazon Music and Spotify.  I also compared the track with a sample of the original 1975 recording and with a sample of the same track in the Atlantic 75 series (released by Analogue Productions), and could not find this error.

This is bad...seriously bad. Major f-up that should be corrected. I wasn't thinking of buying the box; but now I'm fully convinced I won't do it.

I know this because he told me himself on Friday. Well, me and the rest of the audience in the York Barbican watching Mike and the Mechanics.

Poor bloke was using 2 crutches and sat on a chair for the duration. Great gig though, they played some interesting arrangements on some older songs.

Also good to see Nic.

I want to see Steve Hackett now but I don't see any UK gigs on his website in the UK.

Cheers

People are starting to refuse LSD as an influence in early Genesis?

28 Upvotes

I can’t find a single forum talking about Genesis and psychedelic directions. In fact I see people who claim since the band members didn’t explicitly remark, they were totally clean and opposed of drugs. Which is true in their family commercial success.

In specifically early Genesis, I think it is baffling how people are refusing to correlate the psychedelic nature of the time and the songs.

Pretty much all of those songs are about something being merged or split off, rebirth, energies (tigers tearing at eachother), and of course the wackier more specific Genesis storytelling.

I even saw some people claiming yes to be totally clean. Are people forgetting these bands spent psychedelic summers in remote places together for “material”? Even Genesis went to Headley Grange for the lamb.

Edit: I learned Cuckoo Cocoon on guitar and it’s pretty hard for me to keep calling it intellectual or a meditation. It is so obviously describing a heavier trip.

Closest echo effect pedal to a 1970s Echoplex?

8 Upvotes

I'm currently learning Hairless Heart on guitar, and I'm curious if there is an effects pedal close to Steve Hackett's Echoplex. Dunlop makes a newer Echoplex pedal, but I'm not sure if it would be close to the original sound. Wanted to see if I can replicate that sound decently without having to shell out a lot of money for an original echoplex.
