In Genesis this is so: Either you like the early prog Rog output to about 1980, or you like the pop to the band played the 1980 album "Duke" to "No Son of Mine" (1991). For those who only want to hear the hits, there is the very good "Turn It On Again - The Hits" Single-Disc. For those these hits and the best is what the band ever to offer (the Gabriel era), there is now "The Platinum Collection) Regarding the presentation: Booklet & Box are lovingly decorated, and contain interesting liner notes for each album (as a side note, not a picture of the band is what is strange even for a careers retrospective). About the music: The music runs in chronological order, but in reverse. It begins in 1992 and slowly the band's career album after album until "Trespass" (1970) is traced. CD1 covers 10 years from, from the "3x3 EP" to "We Can not Dance" and is equivalent to the already above-mentioned "Turn it on - the Hits" CD. CD 1 contains the biggest chart hits of the band from that time, and who has heard in the 80s and 90s radio knows that the band had oodles. Slightly sour encounters, the "Tonight Tonight Tonight" just as radically shortened single edit is represented, the skips completely the instrumental middle section, and thus sounds like 2 bad zusammengetackerte songs that have little to do with each other. It also wonders what the somewhat weak Instrumental has "Second Home by the Sea" lost on the CD. The title track of "Calling All Stations" album (1998) ended CD1 (and the US No. 21 hit "Never a Time" (1992) is missing for it) CD 2 runs from "Abacab" (1981) to the first album without Peter Gabriel "Trick of the Tail" (1976) and forms a bridge between the Phil Collins-dominated pop years of the band, and the prog rock Gabriel's. Song Selection is here as on CD1 quite excellent, and the new remixes by Nick Davis Tuen the songs not use force (the term "remastered" would here have been better). The only downer is here, which has come at the song selection, the great "Abacab" album too short with only 2 songs. 3. On the CD, the concept of "Platinum Collection" falters because the 3 albums "Foxtrot", "Selling England by the Pound" and "Lambs lie down on Broadway" contain not a single bad song itself, and every song would have been well represented by this 3 albums on the "Platinum Collection". Those that can interfere with the buy 3 CDs in good conscience I mentioned. On CD 3, it would certainly not disturbed further if the 23-minute "Supper's Ready" had been replaced by a couple of other songs. CONCLUSION: For 22 euros you get almost 220 minutes class music, a great package, and you can save to buy the rather balmy 80's and 90 CDs of the band, in addition to the big hits (represented here) have not much to offer ,
