I'm a Genesis fan and so this album is Genesis music played by others.
It was for me essential to have this record to have contact with other versions of the music that i love.

This review is from: Tribute to Genesis (Audio CD)

I have a much greater appreciation for Genesis' musical and vocal abilities after listening to Purple Pyramid/Cleopatra Records wretched tribute collection, A Tribute To Genesis (also known as In Too Deep: A Tribute To Genesis). Some of these tracks have surfaced previously on The Fox Lies Down Genesis tribute album and, to be honest, with the exception of maybe three tracks this entire compilation is without question one of the worst "tributes" I have ever had the discomfort of sitting through.

Most songs on this collection either are bad musically or vocally. In some cases, both! Among the worst offenders are Patrick Moraz and Ronnie Ciago's butchering of "Los Endos" which is almost unrecognizable at times, the terrible muzak version of "No Son of Mine" by Acoustic Moods, the completely passionless and sterile version of "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" by Roadhawk, and Inca God's pitiful "I Can't Dance" that sounds like it was played on a $50 Casio keyboard. Oh, and let's not forget the dreadful vocals by The Flower Kings on "Cinema Show" or John Wetton's surprisingly bad version of "Your Own Special Way!" There are so many 'stinkers' on this collection, I had difficulty forcing myself to get through the whole thing without hitting the advance button on my CD player! Without question, the best track on the set is Shaun Guerin's take on "Back In New York City." Other fairly good songs include G2enesis' "Squonk" and Silver Ensemble's "Tell Me Why." The Brand X II's "Can-Utility and The Coastliners" also had moments I enjoyed, but was weak overall. I could write for hours on how bad this CD is, but I have to get to the used CD store before they close to get rid of this rotten disc! Hopefully, I get a buck for it!
