The Faithful gather to worship: The Mellotron..

11/27/2012

Lileigh,

Your website is full of treasure, as I am one of the Gabriel/Genesis Faithful! The Analysis series, interviews, insight into Genesis, their tours, equipment, recordings, etc - I was thrilled to find this last week.
I've been attending The Musical Box shows for the past 10 years to get a taste of those early Genesis tours back in the day, so those behind the scenes interviews were wonderful.
After enjoying the content on your site, seeing TMB perform Lamb last week put the experience in a new and better light - thanks for all your time and effort in putting ths together!
Please pass a special thanks to Tom Lord-Alge.
The SynthBanks videos floored me, especially the interview with Dave Kerzner, with the technical detail on Tony's equipment (especially the Mellotron) and watching him play a few bars of various classics on the vintage equipment - what a collection!

*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!!
