Sum Of The Parts [2014]

Chris Welch and Armando Gallo weren't chosen, but the criteria for selecting the other participants seem quite random. He “defends the band to the last” and is also the source of the documentary's essential quote: “Genesis are the Progressive Rock Band who progressed”. Turn It On Again is playing to the background images from the 2007 tour, the Invisible Touch Tour and the Misunderstanding video – all in the usual infinite loop.

Invisible Touch is given far too much time, but the band also seems to be very focused on the success here. The impression that Phil's arrival changed the band immediately and may have been more decisive than Steve's is illustrated quite clearly and definitely understandable – Steve's influence was much more subtle and slower while Phil's drumming had an immediate impact on the band. However, at the end of the Gabriel era the interview scenes in that group configuration are few and far between – and even worse, it feels like Hackett was often cut out of the picture on purpose. The eighties and nineties were triumphant decades for Genesis with hugely successful hit albums and singles around the world such as “Genesis”, “Invisible Touch” and “We Can’t Dance”. First, the 'exciting news' turned out to be a new compilation without any new material – including the solo songs was the only new aspect.The eighties and nineties were triumphant decades for Genesis with hugely successful hit albums and singles around the world such as Genesis , Invisible Touch and We Can t Dance . The earlier drummers Chris Stewart and John Silver don't make an appearance – unfortunately, John Mayhew couldn't be interviewed anymore, of course. This is followed by a jump to the 2006 band rehearsals (not 2007 as the subtitle indicates) and we're left to wonder whether the years 1993-2006 never really happened. Interestingly enough, there's an interview with the band's first promoter in the US, but the images from New York are current and not from the 70s – since it says “New York 1972” this seems quite unprofessional. Peter Gabriel gives us the weirdest scene by standing up in the middle of a question to take a cup of ginger tea that was brought to him even though he had asked for coffee.

It doesn't matter here that the sound has a different source – the Roundhouse recording is cult like few other things since we see Anthony Philips on stage and even behind the mic. The documentary also shows here how important these entirely different characters were for the band. Over the course of the documentary, it's increasingly clear that 4-5 of the interviewees and experts are featured strikingly often.

This alone isn't all that bad since it would probably be difficult for any director to find a balance between all the solo careers and what's happening with the band.in the German and UK album charts – both huge markets – and that the Europe tour was quite successful. However, Ed Goodgold, the first North America tour promoter, who had never been featured in a documentary before, is quite an interesting choice. Closed captions (CC) refer to subtitles in the available language with the addition of relevant non-dialogue information. But then the fans pricked up their ears when it was revealed that the band had been working on a new documentary together.

Because in the end, absolutely nothing official will be done for the 40th anniversary of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, possibly the most ambitious work in Genesis' history. Tony's remarks about how everyone (besides Phil) was somewhat stiff back then, which also affected Steve's solo, is illustrated by a current interpretation by Daryl Stuermer in the studio. There are a few others who are just as excessively featured as Kate: Mark Billingham is a novelist and even though the reason for him being involved isn't exactly obvious, he often manages to hit the nail right on the head.Peter Gabriel’s departure in 1975 and then Steve Hackett’s in 1977 led to the release of the album “And Then There Were Three…” and a move towards shorter, more immediate songs. Of course, the average consumer won't notice any of this, but does that justify painting a completely distorted picture of the band? Peter Gabriel s departure in 1975 and then Steve Hackett s in 1977 led to the release of the album And Then There Were Three. The Daily Telegraph's reviewer Ceri Radford described the documentary as "excellent" and "an entertaining riff on their success over the years".
