Sum Of The Parts [2014]

Product Information

The shit storm after the “exciting news”, the production of a documentary like this and how the situation was handled as a whole unfortunately only mean four things: the band won't do anything together anymore. 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 s departure in 1975 and then Steve Hackett s in 1977 led to the release of the album And Then There Were Three. As it turned out, this was supposed to be part of a larger campaign probably aimed at getting Genesis back into the public discourse again.

My favourite band of all time reunited in a documentary, that sums its up, while I'd liked to have seen Steve Hackett getting more screen time this is down to those that put the documentary and not the other members of Genesis. It tells of the band’s formation at Charterhouse (where Tony Banks, Peter Gabriel and Mike Rutherford were all pupils) in the late sixties and the release of their debut album “From Genesis To Revelation”.Broadcast by the BBC as Together And Apart, Sum Of The Parts is the official authorised story of Genesis made with the full co-operation of the band members. 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 was the first time drummer and singer Phil Collins, former singer Peter Gabriel, keyboardist Tony Banks, bassist Mike Rutherford and guitarist Steve Hackett had reunited since the Six of the Best reunion concert (1982). However, hardly anyone had heard anything about her in connection with Genesis prior to Sum Of The Parts.Fans don't really get to know or see anything new – until a snippet from the famous Roundhouse recordings. Intensely driven, he overcame personal and professional challenges to secure his place amongst the greatest vocalists in history. Booklets are not the standard with DVDs and Blu-rays (for example Three Sides Live doesn't have one), but the contents seem more than a little strange here – almost like Satire. Sum Of The Parts” is the official authorised story of Genesis made with the full co-operation of the band members.

There is an interesting side trip, regarding the development of Collins's drum sound on Peter Gabriel's 3rd album. It tells of the band s formation at Charterhouse (where Tony Banks, Peter Gabriel and Mike Rutherford were all pupils) in the late sixties and the release of their debut album From Genesis To Revelation . Current photos of the 'Fab Five' surfaced, there were mysterious hints about 'exciting news' and somehow there was hope that something very exciting was about to happen.

The management doesn't understand a thing about the dynamics on the internet and the band apparently doesn't care about their fans. Ranjit, a farmer in India, takes on the fight of his life when he demands justice for his 13-year-old daughter, the victim of a brutal gang rape. 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”. BONUS FEATURE: Over 30 minutes of additional interviews with the band members that were not included in the broadcast version. 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”.

While Gabriel's exit was accompanied by a short side trip into his solo career up until about 1980, Steve's solo works haven't been brought up at all apart from his explanation for his first album – even though he had been the first to release a solo album back then. Internal disputes that used to be mere speculation were revealed beyond doubt and visible for everyone in the documentary.

One could argue, of course, that the average consumer doesn't care about these flaws making it a fun documentary for them. Bestselling Author and award-winning Filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza expose widespread, coordinated voter fraud in the 2020 election, sufficient to change the overall outcome.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. At least Hugh Padgam was interviewed as part of the coverage of the important development of Collins's legendary drum sound. 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 bonus material is entirely composed of individual interviews and Steve Hackett is also completely absent again. Chris Welch and Armando Gallo weren't chosen, but the criteria for selecting the other participants seem quite random.
