Hello LileighWhite Lilith (Leigh),

Your website and videos are wonderful. 
So much great Genesis background info and analysis. 
I've been enjoying your Lamb analysis videos. I still have more of them to watch. 
However, at this moment, I'm listening to Supper's Ready from Seconds Out on my computer. 
Not Peter, but I really think Phil did a great job on this album. The band is tight and I think the sound quality is good. 
Still, I'd rather be listening to The Lamb and Seconds Out on vinyl. I will later this evening.

Anyway, Thanks for cool the videos and info.
Cheers,
Dan
Seattle. WA.

Hello, dearest Dan (The Man from Seattle - my ancestral home)!

I am really glad that you are digging all the videos and information on this little oasis of a Genesis-website of mine.
I've obviously been away from it for a bit - to follow Hackett's GR2 Tour, as it visited the States - and to get some family responsibilities out of the way...but, am so happy to be back.
Speaking of Hackett - my collaborators Tom and Jeff Lord-Alge...along with our buddy Mike Piera ..had a RIPPING time filming and interviewing Steve, on stage, following his soundcheck in Ridgefield, CT, in September.
I was able to shoot my HD camera right down the NECK of his guitar - as he was playing many licks...it was mind-blowing !
I will be reaching to get that footage (and more) edited down as soon as I can - in and around the approaching holidays, I promise.
As for Seconds Out, I really think it is as good as it gets - for that particular era of post-Gabriel Genesis!
You're so right on about the "tightness" of the band...and the soaring nature of Phil's voice, now in the lead position.

I admit I am partial to Nick Davis' 5.1 Re-Mix of "Seconds Out" - available within the "Genesis-Live" Box Set Collection.
He and Tony did a real bang-up job on getting that cleaned up, re-built and re-mastered on the full surround-sound digital matrix.
But, if you love to bounce back and forth to the warmer vinyl, from the cooler digital formats - why not?!?  
That is why it is NEVER wise to sell that great turntable we still all own!  ;-D

All my love...and good vibes, 
Lil

*FOR SERIOUS LAMB FANATICS ONLY !!!* 

A
n 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!!
