4.0 out of 5 stars
4.5 Stars.... Outstanding album reissued with flawed DVD material,
By
This review is from: Wind & Wuthering [Bonus DVD] (Audio CD)
Music: 5 stars; DVD material: 4 stars
"Wind and Wuthering" is the 2nd post-Peter Gabriel album, originally issued in 1977. It continued the unexpected success of "A Trick of a Tail" album with Phil Collins stepping in for Peter Gabriel as lead singer. I got the 1994 reissue but the temptation of a bunch of DVD bonus materials was such that I did buy the "Genesis 1976-1982" 6 CD/6 DVD set. As to the CD, "Wind & Wuthering" (9 tracks, 51 min.) remains a fabulous listen 30 years later. From the opening "Eleventh Earl of Mar", the band sounds on top of their game. The 10 min. epic "One For the Vine" is in my book the best track that Tony Banks has ever penned, period. Mike Rutherford's beautiful ballad "Your Own Special Way" was the unexpected hit (in a shortened version), and foreshadowed things to come ("Follow You Follow Me', and others thereafter). "Wot Guerilla" is the "Los Endos" of this album. Other highlights include "Blood on the Rooftops", Steve Hacket's last main contribution before he left the band. The instrumental mini-set of "Unquiet/In That Quiet Earth" is just terrific, before giving way to the catharsic ending "Afterglow", what a way to end the album, wow! As to the DVD, it first brings the album in a terrific 5.1 surround system, and it sounds fantastic if you have the proper home music set-up (which I do). As to the visuals, the "Reissue Interviews 2007" brings about 20 min. of the guys bringing their perspectives on the album, quite entertaining. The other video materials are somewhat disappointing: a US bootleg of Your Own Special Way and Afterglow (from a TV show) and a Japanese bootleg of several albums tracks, but the audio and video quality leaves to be desired. Couldn't they have found anything better to include here? That said, I saw Genesis on the "Wind & Wuthering" tour in Brussels in 1977, so this has a lot of sentimental value for me. If you are considering buying any of the reissued CD/DVD albums, you really should look at buying the "Genesis 1976-1982" box instead as it offer far more "bang for the buck" (only $69 here on Amazon), and on top it comes with a bonus CD/DVD of assorted B-sides, EPs and other hard to find tracks from that era.

4.0 out of 5 stars
The Last Hackett Album,
This review is from: Wind & Wuthering [Bonus DVD] (Audio CD)
This was the album that was recorded back to back with 'A Trick Of The Tail'. 'A Trick Of The Tail' was released in something like January/February of 1976 and 'Wind & Wuthering' was released in appx. November/December of 1976. A very colorful, DRAMATIC album of which seems like Banks and Hackett were competing for album space with Rutherford's light and lilting 'Your Own Special Way' kind of sticking out like a sore thumb. The tone of the album seems a bit darker/sad and at times more aggressive ('In That Quiet Earth') than 'A Trick Of The Tail'.
My opinion and take it for what it's worth (my opinion) is musically 'Tail' and 'Wuthering', are FABULOUS/EDGY albums with Hackett still in the lineup, but they really just don't match up to the charm and eccentricity of the 'Gabriel' albums. If you didn't listen to the Gabriel years, you wouldn't know what you're missing and these albums would be the best in Genesis's creativity.

Attention: The DVD only for Region 1,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wind & Wuthering [Bonus DVD] (Audio CD)
Attention! The buyer who belongs to a place that is not inside the Region 1 will not be able to visualize the DVD.
In our global world serious desirable to end once and for all with these disadvantages.
