You don't get that they were widely ridiculed, or you don't get their name? I think I first heard of them on a Southern California prog radio show...or maybe in Trouser Press at the time. I've always assumed the allusion to Gabriel (i.e., Peter) was deliberate.

@ fish: lots of Hackett writing on that side, especially 'Blood On The Rooftops'

was Hacket the more prominent earlier writer, besides Gabriel?

Been really enjoying this show! (this type of stuff would not be my cuppa joe back when it came out, more hippie dippie stuff, but fun to hear now).

Used to spin Selling England by the Pound once or twice daily. Haven't listened much at all in recent years, though I do enjoy the old bootlegs.

Liked that Archangel, started off like holy minimalism.

Tony Coulter:

The guy behind Archangel was Calvin Hampton, who wrote some very interesting experimental music. He's on this record, for example: www.discogs.com...

@ fish - I think, generally speaking, Hackett's departure from Genesis had a greater impact on their musicality than Gabriel's, in all due respect.

they did dive into a sea of slugslime after that, didn't they.
  2:44pm
Dean:

Agreed, @VP. Gabriel's was a loss of, pardon the pun, charisma that Collins couldn't replace, much as he tried. Alas, the only time I saw them live was the first post-Gabriel tour, one upside of which was Bruford. Buddy of mine saw the '75 show at the Shrine in LA, i.e., he attended, but slept through most of it.

...and - as i remember -a trick of the tail is right along the lines of lamb lies down on broadway.
wind and wuthering is different than all of them, maybe. (or do i just think that because i heard that one first, oblivious to the 7 albums prior?)

Dean:

They also did that EP featuring the song "Pigeons," which begins, "Who put fifty tons of shit on the Foreign Office roof?"

I hear TOTT as a fairly radical deviation from LLDOB. WAW is of a piece with TOTT to my ears. YMMV.

@ Dean: pun pardoned, but Second's Out tour w/BB? Nice! Gabriel's voice is missed, that's for sure - he had that certain rough earthiness that Phil couldn't replicate.

Yes, 'slugslime' ftw!

Hackett continues to create some inspired music...

hmm, okay. i figured i'd give all those records another spin sometime if i live another 10 years. maybe i'll make it sooner.
YMMV??

Dean:

Your mileage may vary, @coelacanth∅. I hear what I hear due, particularly in the case of Genesis, to expectations at the time.

July 9, 1978, Washington Post, an article about colored vinyl noting that Gabriel Bondage's second album sold at least 30K copies, due in part to its three editions: one red, one white, one blue vinyl.

Tony, is it me, or is the Drummer schedule grid not linked anywhere on the WFMU home page? I wish this were not the case. I'll ask Ken about it tomorrow.
