Music reviews of Genesis Box Set 3 (1970-1975)[13 Disc Set]

Music Review: I've got a confession to make...
Rating: 5 Stars

I grew up with Genesis as the mega-popular, three-man hit-making machine led by Phil Collins (a hugely successful solo artist in his own right); I started with We Can't Dance in 1992, and shortly thereafter worked my way back to the group's 1978 commercial breakthrough, And Then There Were Three. As I learned more about the band, I found that another solo artist -- Peter Gabriel, whom I liked -- had fronted them before Collins, from the late '60s to the mid-'70s. But it wasn't until earlier this year that I discovered some of the band's older tunes through Sirius satellite radio's The Vault (now Deep Tracks); I must admit, most other progressive-rock to which I was introduced (ELP, Yes, King Crimson, etc.) practically drove me to fits, but I was surprised to find just how accessible and downright beautiful the early Genesis material was. I quickly bought the first two Collins-fronted albums, the prog-leaning A Trick Of The Tail (1976) and Wind And Wuthering (1977); but I decided to hold off on the Gabriel-era albums after I heard this box set was coming out.

Well, I can honestly say it was worth the wait. Except for the band's 1969 art-pop debut, From Genesis To Revelation (to which they don't own the rights), GENESIS: 1970-1975 includes nearly all of the studio recordings the group released during Gabriel's time with them.

TRESPASS (1970): After the disappointing FGTR, founding members Peter Gabriel (vocals), Tony Banks (keyboards), Ant Phillips (guitars) and Mike Rutherford (bass) -- then still in their late teens -- holed up in a country cottage with their new drummer, John Mayhew, to indulge in their newfound creative freedom and craft some expansive, ambitious epics. Alas, only the hard-charging closer "The Knife" feels like the busting-out that this whole album should've been; "White Mountain" (a hyper-literate story-song about two rival wolves) comes close, though. The other four tracks -- "Looking For Someone," "Visions Of Angels," "Stagnation," and "Dusk" -- are marked by plaintive, desolate vocals and a pastoral sound.

NURSERY CRYME (1971): After Mayhew and Phillips left, the group rebounded with new members Phil Collins (drums) and Steve Hackett (guitar). The band sounds refreshed on the dramatic 10-minute opener "The Musical Box;" "For Absent Friends," the short but sweet piece that follows, has Collins harmonizing with Gabriel. "Seven Stones" is a pretty interlude between the energetic and humorous numbers "Return Of The Giant Hogweed" and "Harold The Barrel." The last two cuts, "Harlequin" and "Fountain Of Salmacis," drag a bit -- though "Fountain" (based on the Greek myth of Hermaphroditus), like "Musical Box" and "Harold," hints at the rock-theater style that would fully flower on subsequent albums.

FOXTROT (1972): Begins strongly with the pounding "Watcher Of The Skies," about an alien who lands on an uninhabited Earth. The highly theatrical "Get 'Em Out By Friday," with Gabriel taking on the voices of several different characters, is another highlight -- a social satire about corrupt housing practices and genetic control (don't ask!). And the 23-minute closer "Supper's Ready," about a couple caught up in an apocalyptic battle between good and evil (?!), actually feels like six or seven different songs in one; it never turns into a lazy or sloppy jam. The remaining tracks are more restrained but no less fine: The ballad "Time Table" features lovely piano work by Banks; the lush "Can-Utility And The Coastliners" dramatizes the Norse legend of King Canute; and "Horizons" is a brief instrumental showcasing Hackett.

SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND (1973): My favorite of the bunch, top-heavy with high points: "Dancing With The Moonlit Knight" is a mournful ode to England's Americanization; the funny character sketch "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)," the closest thing the band had to a Gabriel-era "hit," is a groovy glam-style number with Rutherford on sitar; "Firth Of Fifth" is most notable for its gorgeous neo-classical piano intro; "The Battle Of Epping Forest" is a witty tale of gang warfare in London's East End; and "The Cinema Show," with sparse lyrics inspired by T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land" and the Greek myth of Tiresias, is largely a showcase for Banks' keyboard wizardry. Even the shorter tracks are noteworthy: The brief closer "Aisle Of Plenty" puns on UK supermarkets and lists sale items to the tune of "Moonlit Knight," bringing the album full-circle; "After The Ordeal" is a calm, guitar-dominated instrumental coda to "Epping Forest;" and "More Fool Me" is a straightforward love song sung by Collins.

THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY (1974): This two-disc concept album's somewhat muddled story concerns a New York street punk's strange night. Gabriel's droll liner notes merely connect the 23 songs and fill in the blanks as to what's happening during the instrumental passages -- they don't do much to clarify whether the kid is actually dreaming, hallucinating from spray paint fumes, dead and trying to get out of Purgatory, or whatever. But what really matters is the music: Standout numbers include the title cut and the mildly racy "Counting Out Time" -- the poppiest tunes here, and lyrically the tracks most likely to hold up outside the story's context -- as well as absolutely beautiful moments like "The Lamia" and "Carpet Crawlers."

Bonus Tracks: Six of these rarities were first officially released on the 1998 box set Genesis Archives Vol. 1: 1967-1975: The silly 1972 single "Happy The Man" ("Like a nun with a gun, I'm wonderful fun"), the poignant b-side "Twilight Alehouse" (written before TRESPASS but not recorded until the FOXTROT sessions), the rocking late-'60 demo "Going Out To Get You," and three rather medieval-sounding numbers recorded for the radio program BBC Nightride in 1970 -- "Shepherd" (Gabriel's sweet duet with Banks), "Pacidy," and "Let Us Now Make Love" (featuring Phillips' soaring harmonies). As for the remaining four tracks: "Provocation," "Frustration," "Manipulation," and "Resignation" were recorded in the late '60s for an aborted film project on the painter Mick Jackson; this is their first official release in their entirety, though bits of these pieces were incorporated into songs the band wrote for later albums.

DVD Extras: The six DVDs in this set contain 5.1 Surround Sound mixes of all the music, new interviews with band members past and present, TV specials and live footage dating back to 1972, and a charming VH1 special about the Archives set. Best of all is the slide show on the LAMB DVD, including the background screen images the band used during the Lamb tour, plus still photos and brief clips of live footage from the tour itself. My only quibble is with the choices in TV and live material -- how many versions of "The Musical Box" and "Supper's Ready" do you really need? -- but I suppose it couldn't be helped if that's all that was available to the set's compilers. Besides, I think it's cool just to see these handsome young men in action, especially Gabriel in his makeup and costumes.

Bottom line: For latter-day Genesis fans like myself, who may be encountering much (if not all) of this music for the first time, GENESIS: 1970-1975 is an excellent way to collect most of the Gabriel-era albums all at once if you want to look into this phase of the group's career.
