Sum Of The Parts [2014]

Product Information

A band that almost died in the mid-1970s with the loss of its leader ; it then survived a change of lead singer and style to storm the chart.

It doesn't matter here that the sound has a different source – the Roundhouse recording is cult like few other things since we see Anthony Philips on stage and even behind the mic. Hackett's screentime was also noticeably minimal and his fans were mostly supportive of his complaint, posting hundreds of comments hailing his music and career.Hidden in the heart of Russia, there is a Soviet-era city where thousands of people live and work behind barbed-wire fences monitored by armed guards. He stated: "All of the group's serpentine twists and turns were dutifully recorded in this 90-minute documentary", but he concluded: "It's an awesome tale in its way, yet the endless list of hit records and enormous tours eventually became tedious, and somehow Genesis managed to remain untouched by all the history going on around them. However, Ed Goodgold, the first North America tour promoter, who had never been featured in a documentary before, is quite an interesting choice. As it turned out, this was supposed to be part of a larger campaign probably aimed at getting Genesis back into the public discourse again.

Of course, the average consumer won't notice any of this, but does that justify painting a completely distorted picture of the band?It was the first time drummer and singer Phil Collins, former singer Peter Gabriel, keyboardist Tony Banks, bassist Mike Rutherford and guitarist Steve Hackett had reunited since the Six of the Best reunion concert (1982). Over the course of the documentary, it's increasingly clear that 4-5 of the interviewees and experts are featured strikingly often. It tells of the band s formation at Charterhouse (where Tony Banks, Peter Gabriel and Mike Rutherford were all pupils) in the late sixties and the release of their debut album From Genesis To Revelation . Closed captions (CC) refer to subtitles in the available language with the addition of relevant non-dialogue information.

Internal disputes that used to be mere speculation were revealed beyond doubt and visible for everyone in the documentary. The documentary has a running time of about 90 minutes and will be published by Eagle Vision on 17 November 2014.Quality documentary with some good interviews, sadly post Collins and CAS has been omitted so no interview with Ray Wilson which might have been nice even a couple of minutes. The film recounts an extraordinary musical story, exploring the band’s song writing as well as emotional highs and lows and looks into the dynamic between the band members. At least Hugh Padgam was interviewed as part of the coverage of the important development of Collins's legendary drum sound. Broadcast by the BBC as Together And Apart, Sum Of The Parts is the official authorised story of Genesis made with the full co-operation of the band members.

There is an interesting side trip, regarding the development of Collins's drum sound on Peter Gabriel's 3rd album. A band that almost died in the mid-1970s with the loss of its leader ; it then survived a change of lead singer and style to storm the charts in the 1980s.

Ranjit, a farmer in India, takes on the fight of his life when he demands justice for his 13-year-old daughter, the victim of a brutal gang rape. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. In fact, Sum Of The Parts is a slapdash documentary, showing a distorted picture of the band's history and bluntly revealing the conditions within the band.
