ʻO ka hapa nui o nā poʻe, ʻo ia hoʻi nā mea aloha ʻo Genesis, e wehewehe paha i ka hui he "mea ʻē". E hana wale i ka huli kiʻi Google a ʻike ʻoe i nā kiʻi o Peter Gabriel i ʻaʻahu ʻia e like me ka fox a me ka maʻi venereal – lawa ka ammo e hoʻopaʻapaʻa me ka lohe ʻole.
Akā i loko o ka prog, me kāna mika ʻē aʻe a me ke ʻano mele maʻamau, ʻo Genesus ka mea quirky mau. I ka hoʻomaka ʻana, ua hoʻohana ʻo Gabriel i ka ʻakaʻaka macabre a me ka pāʻani huaʻōlelo paʻa (e ʻike: "The Battle of Epping Woods"), kahi ʻano laha ʻole i kahi ʻano i ʻike ʻole ʻia no kona pāʻani.
ʻOiai i ka ulu ʻana o ka hui i nā mele ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka lekiō, hana pinepine lākou i nā neʻe ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia e kekahi. E nānā iā "Who Dunnit?": He mele pop nalu hou i kūkulu ʻia a puni ʻo Phil Collins i ka makau ʻakaʻaka a hoʻonāukiuki naʻe, akā ma ka pōʻaiapili, ma hope o nā makahiki he nui o ka hoʻonohonoho epic a nani, ʻo ia paha ke mele ʻoi loa a lākou i hoʻopaʻa ai. ʻO ka papa inoa ma lalo nei, e like me "ua mākaukau ka ʻaina ahiahi", e laha ana ma nā ʻaoʻao he nui. He ʻano ʻē kekahi o kēia mau mele ma ka pae lyrical, ʻo kekahi ma kahi pae mele pahuhopu, ʻo kekahi no ka mea ʻaʻole i hoʻāʻo ʻo Genesus i kekahi mea like me ia.
Ua ho'āʻo maikaʻi ʻo Genesus iā ia iho ma ka papa mele, rock hard, synth-pop, jazz fusion. Akā he hale ʻahamele? Hoʻoulu ʻia e ke ʻano hoʻonanea ʻole o ka mea pena kiʻi Pelekane ʻo George Formby, ua komo ka pūʻali i loko o kēia mele Spot the Pigeon, kahi i lele ai nā kīpē a Tony Banks ma luna o ke kāʻei ʻana e like me ka banjo a Steve Hackett. "ʻO ke kumu o 'Pigeons' ʻo ia ka hiki i kahi hui ke hoʻokani i kahi leka holoʻokoʻa no hoʻokahi mea: ʻo Tintin Tintin," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Hackett i ka makahiki 2009. ʻAʻole nā mea wela loa!
He ʻōlinolino ʻo ia akā ʻeleʻele, hyperactive a hoʻoweliweli, ʻakaʻaka ʻeleʻele - hoʻokahi wale nō "Harold Barrel". Inā hoʻoneʻe ʻia nā leo, ʻo ia kekahi ʻano mele pop i hoʻololi ʻia, me ke kani piano a Banksy a me ka pahu paheʻe a Mike Rutherford i makemake i kahi octave kiʻekiʻe. Akā, hoʻololi nā mea a pau i ka hīmeni ʻana. Ua wehewehe ʻo Gabriel lāua ʻo Collins i ka moʻolelo pōʻino o ka mea poʻokela ʻo Harold ma kahi haʻiʻōlelo koʻikoʻi e like me ke kiʻi kiʻi: nalo ʻo ia, piʻi i nā puka makani kiʻekiʻe, a hana i kahi "holo-lele" i pau i ka nānā ʻole iā ia i ka wā i hōʻiliʻili ai i ka noi a ka ʻohana.
He pupule ka puolo, a hoʻouka ʻo Collins i kāna pahu pahu me ka huhū loa - a hiki i kou mau pepeiao ke kani, hiki paha iā ʻoe ke kuhihewa i kēlā mau pahu pahele wikiwiki no ka lele ʻana i nā moʻolelo. He ʻokoʻa ʻo "Down and Out" ma ka album ʻeiwa a Genesus, ʻo ia ka manawa avant-garde o ke kula kahiko o ko lākou au ʻekolu. ʻIke ʻia no kāna hoʻāʻo ʻana e hana hou i kēia paʻakikī ma ke kahua, ua hoʻokani ʻia ke mele he 38 mau manawa wale nō.
Ua haʻi aku ʻo Banks i ka luna hoʻokele ʻo Joel Eckington i ka makahiki 2014: "Ma hope o ka 'stagnation' o nā manaʻo like ʻole (mai ka 'Invasion' i nā makahiki 1970) makemake mākou e hana i kekahi mea ma ia laina, akā ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi. ʻO “Music Box” ka moʻolelo avant-garde piha mua loa o ka hui a ʻo ka hana mua i ka ʻano ʻino. Aia nā mele mai nā kani makani 12-string a nā keiki a i ka hekili pseudo-classical, mālie a leo nui e ʻimi ai lākou me ka wiwo ʻole. Akā ʻo nā ʻōlelo a Gabriel i hoʻokomo iā ia i loko o ke ʻano wacky, e hōʻike ana i kahi moʻolelo Victorian convoluted piha i ka ʻelemakule wikiwiki, croquet violence, a me ka hoʻomāinoino makabre.
He mea ʻino loa ia e hoʻokiʻekiʻe aʻe ai ʻo Geddy Lee i kona mau kuʻemaka, akā maikaʻi kēia epic Melatron. I ka makahiki 2009, haʻi aku ka mea leo a me ka bassist ʻo Rush iā Guitar World, "ʻAʻole pili ka mele i ka poʻe e hele ana a hana i nā mele mele." hoʻokani pila ʻē aʻe. ʻO ka mea hoihoi iaʻu ʻo ia ke kākoʻo ʻana o kēia mau ʻāpana paʻakikī i kekahi i kekahi - a me kēia mele. Ma ka lima o kahi pūʻali koho liʻiliʻi, ʻo "Sky Watchers" paha he pōʻino nui loa - Gabriel He hana mana ia i hiki ai iā Earl ke hīmeni maʻalahi i ka puʻupuʻu alakaʻi a Rutherford, akā ʻo kēia moʻolelo sci-fi me ka helu ʻana a me ka huli ʻana i ke koko. i loko o nā mele kahiko o Genesis.
"E nā mea kanu a me nā holoholona, e hoʻopaʻi!" I loko o kahi manaʻo e like me kahi kiʻiʻoniʻoni sci-fi maikaʻi loa, ua hahai kēia kiʻi maʻalea, lima kaumaha i kahi mea kanu titular (kapa pinepine ʻia ʻo Heracleum mantegazzianum) i kona hoʻāʻo ʻana e luku i nā kānaka. He mea ʻē ka mele, ʻoiai ke hoʻohuli ʻo Gabriel i kona leo i ʻuā ʻino.
ʻO ka pāʻani inu ʻo Epping Woods: E pana i kēlā me kēia manawa e hīmeni ʻo Gabriel i kahi inoa naʻaupō a hoʻohana paha i kahi leo hoʻohenehene. (E ona ʻoe i ka hapalua o ke ala.) He manawa maʻalahi paha kēia mele he 12 mau minuke ma ke kūʻai aku ʻana iā ʻEnelani e nā Pounds, e kaupalena ana i ka ʻāpana elite-class i kekahi o nā mele luhi loa a ka mea mele. , Hana hana Vanguard. Ua hoʻoulu ʻia ʻo Gabriel e ka nūhou o nā hui hoʻokūkū ʻo Lākana, a me kāna mau haʻiʻōlelo hanu, me ka hoʻolauna ʻana iā mākou i nā mea like me Mick Prick, Harold Demour, a me Liquid Len, i hoʻohālikelike ʻia ʻo Epping Forest e like me kahi distortion petrified o ka mōʻaukala koa epic. .
Aia kekahi mau mea hōʻike ma "Lambs on Broadway", akā ʻoi aku ka nui o ka "Waiting Room" ma mua o ka wehewehe ʻana. ʻOiai aia kahi riff studio impromptu e hoʻomaka ana i loko o ka ʻūlū o nā kīkā shimmering a me nā hopena synth, ʻike ʻia ke mele i loko o ka manaʻo - e hōʻike ana i ka pahuhopu o ka hui - e "holo mai ka pouli a i ka mālamalama". ʻO ia ka leo o ka hele ʻana i loko o kahi hale hauʻoli kūpono wale nō e ʻike ʻia i loko o kahi māla pua. "Manaʻo wau e hōʻike ana ʻo [Lamb Instruments] i kahi ʻaoʻao o Genesis e poina ai nā mea a pau koe wale nō ka poʻe paʻakikī - poina a lohe ʻole paha lākou," wahi a Collins ma ka DVD reissue o ka album. “He mea maikaʻi inā hiki i nā kānaka ke hoʻomanaʻo i kēlā ʻaoʻao. ʻO ia ka hui like… nāna i hoʻokani i ka "Hold My Heart". … ʻo ia ka manaʻo like.
ʻIke ʻia ʻo Slipper Man Colony no kāna mau hana keaka a e ʻaʻahu ʻia ʻo Gabriel i kahi ʻaʻahu grotesque i uhi ʻia i nā puʻupuʻu. ("ʻO ka mea pōʻino loa, ʻo ke Man in the Slippers, ka mea i hele mai ma o kēlā moa inflatable, ʻaʻahu i kēlā ʻaʻahu weliweli, a i kekahi manawa ua paʻa iki i ke ala i waho," i hoʻomanaʻo ai ʻo Collins i kahi hōʻike DVD o Lamb.) ʻO ia ke mele. he mea pohihihi no hoi. ʻO nā manawa ʻē aʻe ma ka album manaʻo 'Emperor', e hele ana mai ka vibrancy a i ka uʻi, edgy funk beats, screaming synth solos, a me ka lehulehu o nā manaʻo puʻupuʻu akā hoihoi. ʻO ia ma mua o kou noʻonoʻo ʻana e pili ana i nā huaʻōlelo, e lele ana ia i loko o kahi maze o nā hiʻohiʻona a me nā hiʻohiʻona (e makemake i kēlā mau "slubberdegullions").
ʻAʻole ʻokoʻa loa nā minuke 23 a pau: "Lover's Leap", ʻo ka ʻāpana wehe o ke mele, he cascade koʻikoʻi o nā arpeggios 12-string a me nā oli palupalu - maikaʻi ʻole e ka Genesis standards. Akā ua mākaukau ka ʻaina ahiahi, ka mea a Gabriel i kapa ai he "huakaʻi moe" i piha i nā kiʻi hoʻomana surreal, ʻo ia kā mākou koho kiʻekiʻe - ma muli o kona ʻano, me ʻehiku mau mele i hoʻopili ʻia i loko o kahi puʻupuʻu puʻupuʻu. ʻO ka hapa ʻelua o "Willow Farm" me ka piano ola a me nā leo ma mua o ka penultimate "9/8 Apocalypse", kekahi o nā manawa pōʻeleʻele loa a me ka poignant i ka mōʻaukala Genesis.
