Peter Gabriel s departure in 1975 and then Steve Hackett s in 1977 led to the release of the album And Then There Were Three. But then the fans pricked up their ears when it was revealed that the band had been working on a new documentary together. Invisible Touch is given far too much time, but the band also seems to be very focused on the success here. 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.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. This is the release of the Genesis documentary televised on the 4th October 2014 on the TV channel BBC 2. Because in the end, absolutely nothing official will be done for the 40th anniversary of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, possibly the most ambitious work in Genesis' history. Sum Of The Parts” explores the dynamics of the group that has enabled them to survive changes of line-up, see their musical direction steadily evolve and maintain both group and solo careers along with their enduring popularity as evidenced by their hugely successful 2007 reunion tour.

Tony's remarks about how everyone (besides Phil) was somewhat stiff back then, which also affected Steve's solo, is illustrated by a current interpretation by Daryl Stuermer in the studio. This is followed by a jump to the 2006 band rehearsals (not 2007 as the subtitle indicates) and we're left to wonder whether the years 1993-2006 never really happened.However, Ed Goodgold, the first North America tour promoter, who had never been featured in a documentary before, is quite an interesting choice. The members of Genesis reunite to discuss the band's success and legacy in this musical documentary. The bonus material is entirely composed of individual interviews and Steve Hackett is also completely absent again. At least Hugh Padgam was interviewed as part of the coverage of the important development of Collins's legendary drum sound. Gabriel's costumes and the big break with Foxtrot, the sound of Selling England By The Pound (which is given way too little time here though), the creation of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway – during these parts, the documentary really shows how good it could have been.

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”. Intensely driven, he overcame personal and professional challenges to secure his place amongst the greatest vocalists in history. The first irritating bit is when Tony drops a slightly unfortunate comment about the Firth Of Fifth solo. 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.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. Turn It On Again is playing to the background images from the 2007 tour, the Invisible Touch Tour and the Misunderstanding video – all in the usual infinite loop. 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. This alone isn't all that bad since it would probably be difficult for any director to find a balance between all the solo careers and what's happening with the band.
