Satan, Satan...How Does Your Garden Grow?
Lucifer Satan, an ambitious young 18-billion-year-old demon from another galaxy weasels a job with Galactic Outreach Development (GOD), a government agency responsible for "The Supplementary Development of Undeveloped Planets," a process that supplies foodstuff for the inhabitants of Satan's home world. As the Field Representative for planet Sol 3, Satan mutates lizards into dinosaurs and launches "The Boldly go to the Dinosaur Show" (with the help of show biz types and the hindrance of government baddies) for extraterrestrial hunters. The "Show" skyrockets Satan to intergalactic preeminence.

A Must Have for Any Genesis Fan!
A wonderful book, full of insights from the band itself. Every member of Genesis past and present was interviewed for this book. From Peter Gabriel, to Anthony Phillips, to Steve Hackett, even Daryl Stuermer and Chester Thompson give insight into what it was like being in a band of Genesis's caliber, and of course Phil Collins, Tony Banks, and Mike Rutherford also have plenty to say!
This book is a must have for any true Genesis fan. If you have ever wanted to know the true story of one of the most popular bands ever, this is the book for you!

Great for the casual to intense Genesis fan
I am somewhere between that casual and intense Genesis fan. I have most of their albums, but I respect all of their work. I enjoyed both the Peter-fronted Genesis as well as the wide range of albums that followed. Even though I don't own Calling All Stations, I purchased a song or two from it and can appreciate it as well. That said, I've been on a Genesis kick lately with all the remastered releases, and I saw this book recommended somewhere. I agree with the typographical errors, although in a book this size, I think a few are forgivable. The most distracting, to me, were the instances where punctuation was missed because it sometimes altered how I'd read the sentence.

In any case, this is a great book. I didn't really get into the extremely early era of Genesis so it was great to read so much about their background and how they formed. I grew up in a world where Peter Gabriel was a solo artist so it was fascinating to read about him interacting within the context of a band. He seems so individualistic that I found that part of the book alone just a treat. What's great about the book is that they spared nothing -- they got everyone's viewpoint. Another reviewer commented that some things were edited out and I would have to imagine that with any book of this type, one would have to do some editing. Still, unless there are rumors out there or information in the other books mentioned that was left out of here, I can't imagine how someone would know otherwise. (This was the first book about the musical group Genesis that I have read.) Even if there was stuff mentioned in other books, perhaps that would be a good reason not to rehash old information.

In the long run, I thought that the editing was fairly clever. I don't know the order in which they interviewed each person and if they went back for multiple interviews, but each person's commentary is strung together so well that it appeared as if they were all in the same room commenting on the same topic. The photos do make up half the book and they are just fantastic. They are of high quality, fully annotated, and relate explicitly to the story being told. For example, there is a section on how Genesis innovated their light show and then the photos that follow specifically show the various lighting techniques being talked about. In another case, the various interviewees are talking about the importance of family and then there are family photos. I got the impression that everyone really opened up for this book. It's not what I'd call gossip-y, but it felt like privacy was not at the forefront, either. There is a definite bit of vagueness at the various points when band members left, but come on, they can't tell us everything, and I was pretty impressed with the memory people had.

There are interludes where you get "the manager's story" or "the former drummer's story" and these two-page excerpts are usually worth reading. They summarize what's been stated leading up to their involvement in the Genesis story but they add in an additional viewpoint and then the viewpoint ends with the editor summarizing the person's career and what they are doing now. It was a nice way of closing out each person's "chapter". Another reviewer said that the albums only received two or three pages each. I can understand that viewpoint because the albums are how we initially came to know Genesis and that's what we want to read about. I actually thought that the early part of the book dove deeply into each of the early albums. It felt that way because there were more band members commenting on the album (until the number of musical contributors dwindled down). It may have also seemed that way because some of those really early albums had 6 or 7 songs on them, and the later albums had 9 or 10 songs on them, so it was easier to describe an album song-by-song for those earlier songs.

Overall, I thought this was ridiculously enjoyable for someone who is fairly into Genesis. I put on my iPod with each set of songs or each album that was being talked about and listened while I was reading just to enhance the experience. If it's an album-by-album commentary you are looking for, I think this is still satisfying because while they do not dissect each track, they instead tell you about what is going on in their lives and in the music world which is what helped influence each album. They could probably make a tiny fortune putting all of their song lyrics into a book and having the main authors comment on each song. I think a few other artists have done this and I could see that being a great companion piece because it could act more as a reference book.

Excellent - "everything you ever wanted to know about Genesis"
This is a wonderful book.It tells the entire story of the band Genesis, including, of course, their origins, and their history, and also focuses on Phil Collins' and Peter Gabriel's solo careers.The book itself contains fantastic photos throughout, and is told "in their own words" for the most part, quoting them throughout the years.There are also separate essays from many of the people associated with the band, so you get a complete picture of how it was to be a part of their circle.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Genesis.

the best review of a prog group i ever seen.
modern, big, easy to understand nice photos, especially for the fans, who knows the group very well, excellent price.

Great Companion to the remixes...
I have read about Genesis for 25 years, and yet this book actually told me some things that I didn't know. Great for completists who want to know more about Anthony Phillips, and the various drummers who worked with them before and after Phil joined. Great selection of photos, as well.

A few typos, but I don't feel this takes from the value of the text...

Great product. The perfect companion to one of the greatest bands of all time. ... Read more

Product Description
Glasgow-based artist Phil Collins' film Soy Mi Madre examines the immigrant populations of Colorado's Roaring Fork Valley, a sizable percentage of which hail from northwestern Mexico. The region relies heavily on service and maintenance work provided largely through this population, who often commute to work in Aspen. Loosely inspired by Jean Genet's The Maids--a seminal example of Theatre of the Absurd that renders surreal the intricate power dynamics that exist between people of divergent socioeconomic groups and exploits the volatility of social identity--Soy Mi Madre portrays the social realities of this region through the melodramatic lens of the telenovela. Reproduced in this volume through a generous selection of stills, the film uses popular Mexican television actors and crew, including Patricia Reyes Spindola, Zaide Silvia Guiterrez, Veronica Langer and Salvador Parra, as well as members of the transsexual prostitute community of Mexico City. ...
