Genesis: Together and Apart (2014)
Revealing Revelatory Relationships
Some parts of this documentary are shocking for an omnivorous Genesis fan, such as myself. Omnivorous? I like all of Genesis. Not just the Gabriel era or, just the later three member Genesis. So ...
What this film revealed was the oh, so very English, Old School Tie code of omerta that the Old Carthusians cleaved to, during their time together in Genesis. Edgington did us all a service, when he got just the three Old Carthusians of Genesis together. Watch the documentary to see the reactions & body language & see for yourselves.
I owe Mr. Gabriel an apology. All this time I thought it was him being a Prima Dona which caused a rift and then broke up that lovely Genesis, which gave me so much. In actual fact, that was not the case, at all. It was actually a member who remained, who caused the rift. Who micro-managed & kind of dominated & bullied any member of the band that he thought he could. Watch the film to see if you make the same assessment. Clue/spoiler: It's not Phil Collins. Whom, incidentally, turns out to be the joker, the ice breaker of the band. Consequently, a lot of rather salient band politics seem to have been kept from Mr. Collins, as part of the omerta code.
