    TTHHEE GGEENNEESSIISS DDIISSCCOOGGRRAAPPHHYY “The scattered pages of a book by the sea…” 1967-1996 Page 2 The Genesis Discography The Genesis Discography January 1998 Edition Copyright © 1998 Scott McMahan, All Rights Reserved The Genesis Discography Page 3 THE EXODUS ENDS “And then there was the time she sang her song, and nobody cried for more…” “I think that in the end, if all else is conqured, Bombadil will fall, Last as he was First, and then Night will come.” … from the Council of Elrond, in Lord of the Rings Indeed, since its beginning in 1993, The Genesis Discography has been a fixture on the Internet much like Tom Bombadil was in Middle Earth. It has endured in the face of the changing times, without itself changing much, isolated off in its own world. Glorfindel had the opinion that Bombadil would be the last to fall, after all else was lost, last as he was first. In Tolkien’s story, that opinion was never tested. Good triumphed over evil, and everyone lived happily ever after. Not true on the Internet. Since 1993, the forces of evil have created a desolation and oppression that Sauron even with the help of his ruling ring could not imagine perpetrating. From the days of the Internet as an academic research network until today’s Internet I have witnessed ruination unbelieveable. The decay, corruption, and runiation of the Internet boggles my mind. Like Tom Bombadil in his carefully demarcated borders, The Genesis Discography has been an island in the storm, surrounded on all sides but never giving in.

  • Get 'Em out by Friday the Official Release Dates 1968-78 Introduction
    Genesis: Get ‘Em Out By Friday The Official Release Dates 1968-78 Introduction Depending on where one looks for the information, the original release dates of Genesis singles and albums are often misreported. This article uses several sources, including music paper cuttings, websites and books, to try and determine the most likely release date in the UK for their officially released product issued between 1968 and 1978. For a detailed analysis to be completed beyond 1978 will require the input of others that know that era far better than I with the resources to examine it in appropriate levels of detail. My own collection of source material essentially runs dry after 1978. As most people searching for release dates are likely to go to Wikipedia that is where this search for the truth behind Genesis’ back catalogie. The dates claimed on Wikipedia would themselves have come from a number of sources referenced by contributors over the years but what these references lack is the evidence to back up their claims. This article aims to either confirm or disprove these dates with the added bonus of citing where this information stems from. It’s not without a fair share of assumptions and educated deductions but it offers more on this subject than any previously published piece. The main sources consulted in the writing of this article are as follows: 1. The Genesis File Melody Maker 16 December 1972 2. Genesis Information Newsletter Issue No. 1 October 1976 3. Wax Fax by Barry Lazzell - a series of articles on Genesis releases published in Sounds over several weeks in 1977 4.

  • Large-Scale Strategy and Compositional Design in the Early Music of Genesis
    Copyrighted Material 12 Large-Scale Strategy and Compositional Design in the Early Music of Genesis MARK SPICER Th e title of this chapter might remind some readers of an article by Andrew Mead that appeared in Perspectives of New Music more than two decades ago (Mead 1985), in which the author used sophisticated set-theoretic analytical techniques to dig beneath the surface of Arnold Schoenberg’s music, disclos- ing a “large-scale strategy” at work within several of the twelve-tone composi- tions. Mead had the advantage of writing for a scholarly community already well convinced of Schoenberg’s genius. I suspect the idea of placing the music of the British rock group Genesis in the same league as Schoenberg would be greeted with considerable skepticism—if not downright horror—by many musicologists, and this is certainly not my intent in the present essay. (Alas, it will probably require some drastic revolutions in taste before such early- Genesis classics as “Th e Return of the Giant Hogweed” are admitted into the canon of twentieth-century masterworks.) But I do hope to show that despite being several musical worlds removed from Schoenberg, Genesis’ music is rich, diverse, and equally worthy of our analytical attention. One of the most infl uential and long-lasting of the so-called “progressive rock” bands that emerged in Britain around 1970 in the wake of the Beatles, Genesis is probably better known to most pop-rock fans as the supergroup who made frequent appearances on the Billboard charts during the 1980s and early 1990s, with

WATCHER OF THE SKIES E LA FANTASCIENZA GNOSTICA DI ARTHUR C. CLARKE 17 III. THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY: UN VIAGGIO INIZIATICO 41 IV. RIVELAZIONI ESOTERICHE E RIVOLUZIONE SESSUALE 84 ARTICOLI CORRELATI 126 3 www.centrosangiorgio.com INTRODUZIONE Maschere con la testa di una volpe, ali di pipistrello intorno al capo di Peter Gabriel. Una piscina con tre lamia (esseri mitologici metà donna e metà serpente). Una stanza con 32 porte. Questi sono solo alcuni esempi delle curiose trovate presenti negli album e nei concerti dei Genesis. Non è facile addentrarsi nei meandri dei testi e delle rappresentazioni del gruppo inglese, che si può tranquillamente considerare uno dei più colti e raffinati di tutto il panorama rock, soprattutto per quanto realizzato durante il loro periodo progressive degli anni ’70. Peter Gabriel (voce, flauto), Mike Rutherford (basso), Tony Banks (organo, mellotron, piano, ecc...) e il primo chitarrista Anthony Phillips provenivano da una prestigiosa scuola privata del Surrey, la Charterhouse. Ma anche i membri che si aggiunsero col terzo LP, il nuovo chitarrista Steve Hackett e il batterista Phil Collins non erano certo degli sprovveduti.
