Much better than Shipwrecked. The drumming sounds very Phil Collins like!

Great Genesis song with Phil Collins to fuck it up!!!!

that song is great! why they include it on the cd, it would give a little harder rock, more like earlier ray wilson songs.

Like much of the stuff from these sessions, sounds more like Mike and the Mechanics than Genesis.

@66hourenergy Ray Wilson mostly - with some contributions from Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford. :)

@66hourenergy Damn good list :)

MoonchildMindaugas2

It kind of sounds like Oasis :)

@SPeacock It would just take some work to get them to fit on there. Probably something like: 1. CAS 2. Congo 3. Sign Your Life Away 4. Alien Afternoon 5. Not About Us 6. Phret 7. 7/8 8. There Must Be Some Other Away 9. Nowhere Else To Turn 10. One Man's Fool 11. Run Out Of Time 12. The Dividing Line

Stefano Pavone

@I hadn't thought of that. Good point. :)

66hourenergy

@SPeacock I agree, except get rid of Shipwrecked and include Not About Us, Alien Afternoon, and There Must Be Other Some Other Way

Stefano Pavone

@stuporduper "The Dividing Line" and the title track weren't bad, either. Come on :)

Stefano Pavone

Here's what I think CAS should have been: 1. The title track 2. Congo 3. Sign Your Life Away 4. Shipwrecked 5. Run Out Of Time 6. Phret 7. 7/8 8. Nowhere Else To Turn 9. One Man's Fool 10. The Dividing Line

Agreed on "Small Talk," as it was a bit too eighties sounding for my taste. Leave off "Small Talk" and "One Man's Fool" (a track even Tony Banks admitted suffered a bit) and include the unreleased material, and CAS becomes stronger. But no, it wouldn't have affected US sales, as the band had become quite unfashionable around that time, as their manager Tony Smith admitted.

In my opinion, they should have left off some of the tunes like "Small Talk" which I think was pretty crappy. If they had opted instead for tracks like "Sign your life away", "Anything Now" and put an instrumental in the mix for good measure...my favorite from the recording sessions being "7/8", I think CAS would have been a much stronger album. Would it have gotten them the sales they needed in the US? Probably not, but I think it would be more highly regarded.

This song sounds like something that belongs as a lost track on BANKSTATEMENT, Tony Banks' little-known solo album. This song shows how Banks and Rutherford contributed to the overall sound, but the crisp snare beats and overall studio excellence that Collins brought to the mix is sorely missed on Calling All Stations. As much as I am not a fan of post-Abacab Genesis, Collins' pop sensibility did add to the band's overall sound.

Who wrote this song?

I find it interesting that the most guitar-centric songs recorded for CAS - "Anything Now" and "Sign Your Life Away" - were left off the album. I felt, while CAS was a good album with good songs, it was too keyboard heavy, particularly for the time it was released. It sounded dated as a result. The discarded tracks would have given the album better balance, and would have fit in better with the music of the late 90's. As it is, CAS sounds like a perfectly good album - from the 1980's.......

A little story on how "Who Dunnit" was included on "ABACAB" - it was Atlantic Records head Ahmet Ertegun who suggested adding the song to the album at the last second. "You Might Recall" had been intended for "ABACAB," but it was bumped in favor of one of the more polarizing songs in Genesis history. For the record - it's intended to be humorous, and on tour Tony Banks would wear a snorkel while playing it on his Prophet 5 synth. The synth sounds on that track are just......nasty! In a good way!

What a stupid comment! There are lots of great music on the Calling all stations album. The title track is one of their very best songs. They needed to get rid of P. Collins to write a song like that.
