Genesis - La Boîte à Musique... Turn It On Again

Back cover

With over 130 million albums sold, Genesis – the band that launched the careers of Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins – remains one of the giants of British rock. But beyond the figures and their impressive collection of hits, Genesis are first and foremost innovators, a unique convergence of talent and individuality. In the 1970s, the band established itself as the spearhead of an inventive and theatrical style of rock, embodied by Peter Gabriel, his charisma and his mind-boggling masks. Then, under the influence of Phil Collins – the drummer who also became a singer – Genesis managed to simplify its music, navigate the shift towards pop in the 1980s and considerably broaden its audience even as it lost members deemed essential...

From the band’s origins in 1963 at the austere English school of Charterhouse, right through to the surprise reunion for the 2007 tour, this book recounts, in great detail and with delightful anecdotes, one of rock’s most fabulous true stories, so rich in twists and turns that it reads like a novel. Enriched with numerous previously unpublished photographs and complete discographies of the band and the solo careers of its various members, *La Boîte à Musique… turn it on again* is the undisputed ‘bible’ for French-speaking Genesis fans of all generations…
