Genesis

We've compiled 20 things you might not know about the prog-pioneers Genesis.

The guitarist does not think the upcoming documentary about Genesis will lead to a reunion.

Anthony Phillips is upset that the upcoming Genesis documentary has been billed as featuring the "original" line-up.

Although it's not the reunion tour that fans of progressive rock legends Genesis have been hoping for, the band just revealed that they have been working on a big new project together.

Available for pre-order now, Genesis is a forthcoming graphic novella from Image Comics created by the team of Alison Sampson, Nathan Edmonson, and Jason Wordie. In it is the 56-page story of the awesome thankless burden of one man’s ability to shape and change the world. Edmonson has scripted a moody, horror-tinged tale that captures perfectly the spiraling psyche of a man trying to create a better existence only to be constantly overwhelmed by the obstacles that come with this, not the least of which is a a multicultural and gendered world which seems more than happy to stick to the status quo. It's a mind-melting story brought to uncommonly vivid life by Sampson's artwork and the coloring of Jason Wordie. We sat down to with Alison Sampson to discuss these topics and more, both with respect to Genesis and her approach as an artist in practice. What followed was a really fascinating discussion, delving into the intersection of architecture and comics.

It's been only 13 years since Peter Gabriel released an album of new material, so we probably have a little while to go before he's ready to emerge with his next batch of songs. In the meantime, he's busy on the road, in the studio and -- in a recent Rolling Stone interview -- answering yet another round of questions about the prospect of a Genesis reunion.

Four years after back injuries caused him to stop playing the drums, and three years since the release of his last solo album, Phil Collins says he's considering returning to the stage, possibly even as part of a Genesis reunion. The legendary rock band hasn't performed together since 2007.

They had to succeed in balancing the pastoral whimsy of their first couple of albums with new rock pretensions.

There's nothing stopping a full Genesis reunion, but guitarist Steve Hackett calls the prospect "improbable." The group still gets along and members bump into each other from time to time, but eventually talks of getting back together fizzle.

A rare copy of Genesis' first single has sold for $3,850 on eBay after more than 20 bids. The band-written song 'The Silent Sun,' produced by Jonathan King, was released by Parrot Records in 1968.

Leaner three-man lineup moved toward a poppier sound that would define their career in the '80s.

What are your plans for Friday (Feb. 15)? You're going to need to cancel them, because we've just been informed that it's Phil Collins Day.
