Free Music Review: Genesis' swan song with Steve Hackett gets a superb makeover for its 30th anniversary
Hit: 5 Stars

Genesis' ninth album Wind and Wuthering was released in January of 1977 in the US.
The album is arguably musically more developed and fleshed out than was on its predecessor, 1976's Top 40 charting album A Trick of The Tail, you can sense the band (and drummer/singer Phil Collins in particular) gaining more confidence in their songwriting and performing abilities.
The seven minute plus "Eleventh Earl of Mar" (penned by bass player Mike Rutherford, guitarist Steve Hackett and keyboard player Tony Banks) starts the album off with a bang and is one of my all time favorite Genesis songs. The next track is the majestic ten minute epic "One for the Vine", arguably Banks' best song for the band. The live version from the reissued Three Sides Live rivals the studio version IMHO. Next was Mike Rutherford's "Your Own Special Way", which was an unexpected modest hit (and would pave the way for the road to superstardom starting with 1978's Top 20 charting And Then There Were Three). The Collins/Banks instrumental "Wot Gorilla" concludes the first half with a bang.
The whimsical Banks number "All In a Mouse's Night" kicks off the second half with a bang. Then, Steve's fingers are all over the Collins/Hackett collaboration "Blood On the Rooftops", with beautiful Spanish guitar solos and superb mellotron sounds. The instrumentals "Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers..." (penned by Rutherford/Hackett) and "...In That Quiet Earth" (penned by the whole band) are great. The closing piece "Afterglow" is one of Banks' masterpieces which told of a survivor who had to move on with life sfter losing everything he had and is still a favorite song of mine from the band.
Sadly, this album marked the end of classic prog-rock era Genesis.
Although the band would certainly continue to record prog-rock songs here and there, no album would ever be able to recall the heights of the albums from Trespass to Wind and Wuthering.
Strangely, this Genesis album would prove to be the band's second album to crack the US Top 40 peaking at #26 in early 1977.
I first got this album as a Christmas present from my older brother in 1997 when he bought me the 1994 remastered CD and loved it immediately.
That remastered CD version buried the weak sounding Atco CD issue from the 1980s.
Now in May of 2007, Rhino/Atlantic re-release the album as a CD and DVD set. The album is remixed on CD in stereo for excellent sound (very similar to what was done to The Who catalog in the 1990s). The new mixes are AMAZING and I hear things in the new mixes that I have not ever heard before. Also, it comes with a DVD which has the album mixed in 5.1 plus two bootleg promo TV performances (these are Your Own Special Way and Afterglow from The Mike Douglas Show in February of 1977 (no, it wasn't hosted by the actor Michael Douglas but the talk show host who passed away last year) and Eleventh Earl of Mar, One For the Vine and Your Own Special Way from a Japanese TV show) plus new interviews with messieurs Collins, Hackett, Banks and Rutherford about the making of the album.
Highly recommended!
