Product Description

From Amazon.com

The sound of Phil Collins's distinctive voice set against a pulsing synthesizer and pounding electro/acoustic percussion became one of the most characteristic and ubiquitous sounds of 1980s (and early '90s) rock. And if Collins's solo work during that period seemed occasionally indistinguishable from that of his band, it was only evidence of the remarkable transformation that Genesis had undergone from its late '60s art-school roots. Indeed, the idea of an eventual Greatest Hits package would have been laughable then. But as the original quintet turned quartet (with the departure of vocalist Peter Gabriel) and then trio (when guitarist Steve Hackett left), the spotlight focused with increasing intensity on Collins and his pop and R&B sense. Though it overlooks a few contenders ("No Reply at All" and "Taking It All Too Hard") in service of balance (and the inclusion of late-model Genesis frontman Ray Wilson), this is a good sampler of one of rock's most consistent (if predictable) hit-makers. Gabriel and Hackett also return for one new track, reuniting the original quintet for a richly textured update of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway 's "The Carpet Crawlers." --Jerry McCulley


CD Description

As the subtitle suggests 'Turn It On Again' is a collectionof the most popular singles by the prog rock act turned synth-pop trio. The album covers the period from 1974's 'I KnowWhat I Like (In Your Wardrobe)' to 1997's 'Congo'. Sixteen of the eighteen tracks featured here were UK Top 30 hits.

4.0 out of 5 stars Genesis - A land of confusion indeed!, 4 Aug 2005
This review is from: Turn It on Again: The Hits (Audio CD)
Genesis have gone from symphonic progressive rock through to the rock/pop genre over many years. The sudden change shocked the public, but generated more publicity and consequently the band gained success. It is this success that this compilation mainly focuses on. The chosen songs are mostly the hits the band had in the 80s where Phil Collins was lead singer and drum player - Land of Confusion, Mama, Invisible Touch, Turn It on Again... et cetera. If you preferred the band when Peter Gabriel was lead singer in the early 70s, this album is not for you: only 2 songs on this CD contain him (the reason being due to the lower popularity of the band when he was in it). The sudden change in genre was a positive thing, as the band sold records in millions, topped the charts with their singles and were a great live band to see. While Tony Banks, Steve Hackett and Mike Rutherford are not able to show their full potential playing their instruments, they are consistent. This album does live up to its title - the songs are hits. They are well-written songs, sung powerfully by Phil Collins as he does so well. I would reccomend this album to anyone who wants the hits of Gensis and to anyone who is not familiar with their pop/rock phase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Turning It On Again...Just., 9 Jun 2007
By Mr. S. J. Griffin "the Griffin" (Addingham, West Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Turn It on Again: The Hits (Audio CD)
The whole point about Genesis in the early years was that it wasn't about the singles, it was about the albums as a whole. Many of which followed a theme or carried a story. Genesis didn't really release a whole lot of singles that were meant to become chart-topping smash hits, but the albums were. That's why this album holds songs which were not released as singles. For the real Genesis experience, they were always best live, especially in the 80s and 90s. Hopefully we will see a live dvd/cd released following their final tour, from the new Wembley if we're lucky, would be fitting to go beside the already released 1986 wembley dvd (highly recommended). This compilation is better than the original turn it on again release as it does include more of the early work and also has a lot more tracks on it in general.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's called "The Tour Edition" for a reason...., 19 Jun 2007
By Michael Henry - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Turn It on Again: The Hits (Audio CD)
....I can't really comment on the sound quality on the remastered tracks, but as for the complaints that this isn't a representative "Hits" compilation, I would argue that perhaps that isn't the intention for this release.

I've got tickets for the upcoming Old Trafford gig and I'm hoping it will confirm what I suspect....that this is simply a compilation of the songs performed on the reunion tour in their not-live, album-recorded form.

I've also not got many of the earlier albums (my collection only starts with Trick of The Tail, but I'm only 28, so give me a break on that!), but for anyone wanting a good collection from across the 40 years Genesis have been recording and producing music, I'd think this would be a good choice.....especially if you don't want to shell out nearly £100 for the remastered box set!
