Sum Of The Parts [2014]

Product Information

Personally I didn’t think it was that bad. I don’t understand all the fans who complain about Steve not getting equal treatment all the time. It’s not like he’s still part of the group. They didn’t cover Anthony Phillips’ solo career either. Neither of them have had mega hits like Phil and Peter.

Look, the fact is, as soon as a musician starts making records, they're in the game and they're as commercial as anyone else. Genesis: Sum of the Parts' comes with a very good 1080p HD transfer presented in 1.78:1 aspect ratio. This documentary on the band 'Genesis' looks great. But with these types of documentaries that combine new footage and interviews with vintage footage, the video tends to weave in and out of excellence and unstable. But that's just how these things go. The newer footage of the band interviews and recent concert footage all look very sharp and vivid. Not to mention that many facts were not included (such as Calling All Stations - ps. I don't care about the quality, a The Daily Telegraph's reviewer Ceri Radford described the documentary as "excellent" and "an entertaining riff on their success over the years".

He stated: "All of the group's serpentine twists and turns were dutifully recorded in this 90-minute documentary", but he concluded: "It's an awesome tale in its way, yet the endless list of hit records and enormous tours eventually became tedious, and somehow Genesis managed to remain untouched by all the history going on around them."

There's nothing here you probably haven't heard before in past interviews or stories that made the news. What's really nice about it and what keeps this documentary fun is seeing the band members reunite and reminisce about the old times together. Not to mention too that one of the things every fan was expecting (the interview with all of them together) was mashed I've witnessed some delightful gnashing of teeth over this documentary film. Apparently some of ourThe_Genesis_Archive said they provided some material early on in pre-production when, interestingly, it was intended as a documentary solely about The Lamb as part of the ongoing occasional Classic Albums series. Then it morphed into a general documentary. I found this infuriating as I'd always thought The Lamb warranted a dedicated documentary. But instead of a decent documentary focused on the one album, which would easily provide rich material for an interesting film, we got a substandard unfocused one that didn't really satisfy anyone.

conversations either. It's certainly not only because of being a quieter person, for I've heard that he I enjoyed the biography plain and simple. I believe it was well produced but rather too short in my opinion. I felt there should have been Presented with contributions from almost all the members of Genesis, all willing to provide the honest, agenda-free perspective that the passage of time has provided, how could this BBC documentary possibly fail? And yet, as the ensuing furore from fans and band members proved, the show’s editors and producers managed to seize failure from the jaws of success, and this extended release isn’t much of an improvement. didn't like the film. Understandably so. Of course also Anthony Phillips' career would have deserved TV 1½ times (I stopped the second watching and went to sleep at the point when Phil Collins takes theAnother surprise was Phil Collins mentioning that "Lamb Lies down" had some of the best material that Genesis ever recorded.
