What an Overview -- And It's Only Vol. I!
Benedict J. Likens | Whiting, IN USA | 06/07/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I was really stunned by the 5.1 surround mixes of these albums. Every one of them, particularly the first two, A Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering, is SO greatly enhanced by their new mixes that I'm almost at a loss for words. I have the so-called "Definitive" remastered editions of those first two CD's (I suppose they were definitive at the time) and I enjoyed them very much. These latest editions, however, really up the ante on the initial ones. First off, these CD/DVD's are not only remastered, but they're also remixed, and the nuances that are brought out by the remixing process make these already amazing songs so much more beautiful and enjoyable. "Dance on a Volcano," from its inimitable introduction on, is almost an entirely new song, or at least an entirely new listening experience. "Afterglow," Tony Banks' tour de force, is another already great piece that is raised to a whole new level by its remix. After I finished listening to the first two CD's, I realized that there were still three more CD/DVD's to go (actually, there are four more, if one counts the excellent Extras compilation)! That was a wonderful feeling, especially for a Genesis fan who can't get enough of their stuff, old or new. I guess that one might reasonably conclude that I really like this box set, but then that same one would also be guilty of extreme understatement.



I should include a word about the visual elements included on the CD/DVD's. They, too, are excellent. I've read some negative things about the older filmed material, particularly that which came from American and Japanese TV broadcasts. Granted, they don't look all that great but, nonetheless, I'm really glad they're there. I'd much rather be watching a bootleg sourced from a worn VHS tape of an old performance than watching nothing at all and, to top it off, I thought that the less-than-perfect quality of the material added to its intrigue. Those VHS "age lines" are reminders of just how long these guys have been around, just how much road time they've logged, and just how many stages they've graced. Truth be told, I wish there was more of this type of material to watch and enjoy.



If one needs a cure for so-called "buyer's remorse," spend your money on this set and just see if you don't forget about its cost within the first three bars of Track 1!"
Do not buy if you live outside the US & don't have a multi-r

"We already knew this product was inferior to the UK version, which includes the SACD format. Unfortunately, there is more. The DVDs are exclusive to the US region. Do not make the mistake I made. Check your DVD player first. I have given this rating only because it requires one. I cannot properly rate this box set because I cannot hear it the way I wanted to."
