Congratulations for your passionate and competent work. As you already know here in Italy we are completely mad about the Gabriel-Hackett era of Genesis and the contribution of your analysis is really outstanding. Keep going.
Any hope you to attend some of Steve's or Peter's italian gigs?
Love Guido

Hi, Guido !
So very sorry to be late in answering you (American holidays - like Thanksgiving - truly get in the way sometimes! :-(

I have been very lucky to visit your beautiful country several times, in my life...but, never had the chance to combine my love of Genesis with my love of Italian touring. (Which I would LOVE to do!)
Any ideas? *inviting smile*

Thank you for both writing me...and exhibiting such patience!

xoxo Lil

*FOR SERIOUS LAMB FANATICS ONLY !!!*

An Analysis of the many allegorical layers, written by Peter Gabriel, within the pivotal song "The Chamber of 32 Doors" on the original Lamb Lies Down on Broadway album.

Jungian Archetype Theory, The Power of Myth's Hero's Journey and the Tibetan Book of the Dead provide the framework with which Gabriel wrote of his pending decision to leave Genesis.
Add onto that the visual work of "El Topo" director Alejandro Jodorowsky, as Peter's inspiration - and you have one, very serious surrealistic work of art.

WARNING/ADVISORY: This trilogy of videos are DEEP (because these metaphysical/psychoanalytical works were what Peter Gabriel had been reading up until the uber-rushed writing of The Lamb)!
Although, he claims the lyrics are flawed - many still consider it a layered work of genius.
Part Surrealism, Part Metaphysical, Part Self Psychoanalytical.

These videos are the result of 2 years of intense research and many contributions by many people (several, quite close to Peter Gabriel & Genesis).

As Tony Robinson wrote for the 1970-1975 Genesis Box Set: "It's a mistake to think of the narrative as only having one meaning because every listener must create their own personal story."
This trilogy's analysis is not set in concrete. It is meant to elucidate upon the metaphysical texts by which Peter was reaching to obtain his own new pathway (out of the band and into his own solo career, away from "Genesis-the-Big")....as well as start new discussions as to what the album meant to YOU, the listener.
From all of us who collaborated on these videos....ENJOY!!
