Get your wallet ready. Thanks to trusty SA-CD.net

"Trick of the Tail"
"Wind & Wuthering"
"And Then There Were Three"
"Duke"
"Abacab"

Where's "Invisible Touch"!

Anybody know if the releases are 5.1?

Virometal- I've never bought a Genesis album, but have always liked them. Is there a disc or two on that list you'd recommend?

Ahh, I love it! No need for Invisible Touch, I already have that on CD

Actually, total need for Invisible Touch, that would push the format on a scale close to Brothers in Arms.

Question not aimed at me, but I'll bite. None of the best Genesis albums are on that list of SACDs. For me the best ones are the Peter Gabriel-era albums: I'd recommend Foxtrot (which I currently count as my second favourite album ever) Nursery Cryme, Selling England By The Pound, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway and, from the late Phil Collins era, Genesis.

That said, And Then There Were Three (if synth-heavy) is pretty good, as are Trick of the Tail and (at a pinch) Abacab. The other two never made much impression on me.

"Trick of the Tail" and "Wind and Wuthering" are the only ones worth checking out on that list, in my opinion. But I'm not a fan of Genesis with Collins fronting the band. Steve Hackett was a huge part of the sound I liked, and by Wind and Wuthering, the "pop sound" was really starting to infect their music. Hackett left thereafter.

Apparently, the Gabriel releases are slated for 2008? "Foxtrot" and "Nursery Cryme" would be my picks from that era, though "Tresspass" and "Selling England by the Pound" are also excellent albums.

Yeah, I couldn't say it better than those above me.

If I was starting out with the Genesis SACD's. I would pick up "Trick of the tail" and "And Then There Were Three". If liked the former, go for "Wind and Wuthering". If the later, go for "Duke" and then "Abacab"

Be careful with the last three you're getting into undisputed synth cheese territory. I like to think of those two as the Rush lite interlude before the very MTV dance pop period to follow.

I'm not going to lie. When I first hear "Land of Confusion" or "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" on SACD, that may indeed be the greatest moment of my life.
