| 115 of 121 people found the following review helpful:  The Musical Box, Part III, By This review is from: Genesis Box Set 3 (1970-1975)[13 Disc Set] (Audio CD) So, we finally come to it at last: the third & final Genesis box set in the band's box set trilogy. And this time, we're going all the way back to the band's beginning! "Genesis 1970-1975" is the Peter Gabriel era, the early days of the band when Phil Collins stayed behind the drumkit (or, in the case of "Trespass," wasn't even in the band yet), and Peter Gabriel was the frontman, dressing up in all of his wild, wacky costumes. Five albums included here: "Trespass," "Nursery Cryme," "Foxtrot," "Selling England By The Pound," and "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway," all remastered and remixed by producer Nick Davis, with lots of fantastic early concert footage, and insightful interviews with the various bandmembers, recorded in 2007 (NOTE: the group's 1969 debut album, "From Genesis To Revelation," is not included in the box set for legal reasons). The box set also comes with an exclusive bonus disc of rare tracks and exclusive footage, and a handsome 42-page booklet. All five Genesis...

When I first read some of these reviews I was excited to hear good things about the over all sound quality. I then saw some negative reviews citing over compression and bad mastering. I just got the box set a few days ago and these are definitely remixes (not just remasters) and they are MUCH better overall. You will hear different vocal tracks on occasion and the vocals generally louder. The drum sounds, guitar tones, bass tones and keyboard sounds are all much improved. The thing about the original recording of these albums (especially Trespass, Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot) is they were done on a tight budget and really are very poor mixes. I think anyone who listens to the new mixes a few times and then goes back to the original recordings will realize how much better these mixes are. The DVD's are also great with just about all live footage from that era and great interviews with all band members...

The videos are great. Overall, the sound is improved but at a cost. Whenever, there is a remix, there usually is a departure from the original soundscape of what the artists intended. For instance, the organ in the "You stand there with your fixed expression" section of The Musical Box is now mixed way down and Gabriel's voice is the only prominent instrument. I feel some of the power in the piece has been lost due to the choice of remix levels. In some cases, instruments once heard in the mix are now almost inaudible. Were members of Genesis involved with the remix? Regardless, it is a treat to hear these masterpieces of prog in somewhat better sound however, I will not give up my recordings with the original mixes. I am sure most reviewers will say the new mixes are better because there are instruments they never heard before that are now clearer. The reason for that is now the mixes are different and not necessarily from... Read more |
