Genesis sacds closer to reality than revelation

Got a tip this week from Marty of 5.1 heaven...The remastered Genesis sacd titles are coming this spring....apparently they are coming out in 3 different batches. Unfortunately though; the titles are all mixed up and aren't coming out chronologically. The bad news is none of the live albums are scheduled....even worse..."Calling All Stations" is coming out too...

The great news is that all the studio albums have been done for a while and FINALLY seeing the light of day. Except I don't see the details of how this is going to be handled stateside. (Genesis being handled by Atlantic which would insinuate Rhino and CD+DVD-A packaging)

Trick Of The Tail in the first batch? BLISS total Bliss...There are so many great moments ahead...(save for that which blows...)

I suspect the 3 man reunion will run it's course while Gabriel & Hackett work on and tour for their current albums respectively. Then if time and circumstance permits a 5 man reunion is an outside possibility, albeit with a really short window to see them. I would be overjoyed with a 4 man reunion to recreate some of what I witnessed twice on the 1977 tour.

The loss of Hackett looms large over the band's history. With his departure, subtlety, nuance and compositional excellence were harder to come by year after year. Hell yes I want Seconds Out and 5.1 remixed at that. (this album is nick-named "Hackett's Out" because they mixed it right after he left)

Thanks again for the comments....in my collection Genesis begins and ends with the Gabriel era. I do however own the live collection "The Longs" which has that incredible "old medley" from, you guessed it, the Gabriel era.

As for Peter rejoining for a reunion...I'll be less skeptical once the actual sacds are released...

Not as bad as it seems. They are chronological, but they start witn the Phil Collins era (coincidently with the reunion tour of Genesis with this line-up). After that they start with the Peter Gabriel era (and who knows, a reunion of that line-up?).
