Pays tribute to the creativity of a solo artist less than they would have earned as an individual artist.

1. Remastered versions are less better for the ears of fans, as imagine exporting Remasterer during mixdown. Here of course you hear more clearly defined instruments, the singer is sometimes better by. The pieces per se are not better by the new machining. Sometimes the perception formerly engrossing (fine) harmonies pushes behind the brilliance / of newly manufactured frequency clarity.

One star because sonically it if it does open up new Höhrer layers. But this I can not really imagine.

2. Each of the musicians involved in the last decades was able to establish a stand-alone solo program entitled during his life. Each with its individual strengths in the field of composition. None of the individual musician is with his solo works in the core Genesis. A so limited presentation of the creative power of the individual musicians is the individual artists little justice. Here you would rather have a new best of of Genesis, and will also seek to develop a dignified best of each individual musician. Material there is enough.

Star two, because at least on the autonomy of all the band members is drawn (if the result not good and not nearly with the best pieces).

3. Most boards of Genesis show music can be as creative. Even the later works, which are in places too drifted into the main-stream, have good moments here and there. Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett did a good job over longest distances (6 star for all slices of Peter Gabriel, at least 5 for many CDs of Steve Hackett). About Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford you can (despite individual hits of Mike and the Mechanics) argue; in total but none of it was bad.

This collection is neither Genesis nor is any other artists meet. The interested buyers will be able to form any conclusive opinion, consumption of this collection. And even if that is not the intention of Virgin was: Nobody needs this CD, actually.

Allowances issued TWO STARS ARE NOT ON the music on the CD. Only the idea behind the CD and the blight of something good in anything Average. I stand by this opinion. No matter how many emotional comments come now. "Basta.", Like Gerhard Schröder have said.
