Greetings Stationeers! Welcome to our final review podcast of 2020! In this episode we will be having a listen to Peter Gabriel’s second solo album, released on 3rd June 1978. This marked a radical change of sound for Peter, who embraced the ethos of Punk and New Wave. He roped in prog rock legend Robert Fripp to produce the album and it was completed in record (geddit) time. This album sees Peter...

From one guitarist to another, in this week’s episode we are listening to the second album from Steve Hackett. Please Don’t Touch (how many times have I heard that before?) was released in April 1978 on the Charisma label. It followed a period of time spent recording in America, and features some well known voices from across the pond. Without the restrictions placed on him by a band setting, Stev...

Greetings listeners and welcome to our review of Anthony Phillips’ The Geese & the Ghost. This first solo album, by everyone’s second favourite Genesis guitarist, was released in March 1977 after a nearly 7 year gestation. Like Steve’s first solo effort, it features both Phil and Mike, as well as John Hackett on the flute. This album shows Ant’s sensitive side, with pastoral songs about beauti...

Hello, and welcome to Jazz Club. Nice. Tonight we feature Season Two of The Revelation Station Podcast, in which we explore the solo works of Genesis members past and present. Great. In this episode we’re taking a long drag on the jazz-fusion doobie that is Brand X’s debut Unorthodox Behaviour , featuring cheeky chappie Phil Collins on drums. Wonderful. Released in 1976, after a few years of tumul...

Woooooooo! Welcome to the Revelation Station! Join us for a spooky Halloween tale from the deranged minds that brought you “Keep Talking” and “Desert Island Dix”.

And if the only house for miles around was a farmhouse with no broadband? Would a c...

Once upon a time… Two grown men, who really should know better, decided to start a podcast. They used to write together and hadn’t for a long time, and one of the men thought it would be a fun thing to do. The other went along with it for an easy life. They started a podcast reviewing Genesis albums, at first they pretended to be in a pub (Oh, sorry SPOILERS) but gradually they started to flex the...

Greetings listeners and welcome to the last, for now, weekly episode of The Revelation Station! This week we take a dive into the troubled waters of divorce in the company of Phil Collins. Here we have an album NOT based on a concept for a change, but that doesn’t mean that the songs contained here aren’t all of a similar theme. Released in February 1981, almost exactly a year after Mike Rutherfor...

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends (“please God will it ever end”, I hear you cry. The answer is “No”). In this week’s fun filled episode we return from furlough and spend some time with Mike Rutherford as he experiences Smallcreep’s Day. Here’s the second solo to be based on a Science Fiction book, although this one only has a single sided concept. Released in February 1980, only...

It’s the third week of our weekly Solo Genesis album reviews. Up this week is the first album by the man called “the only indispensible member of Genesis” (by none other than their manager) Tony Banks! The first of two solo albums based on Science Fiction novels (the other being Mike Rutherford’s Smallcreep’s Day), A Curious Feeling, has Tony exploring themes of self awareness and loss. Released i...

In the second of our weekly look at the solo Genesis catalogue we turn our attentions to Peter Gabriel’s first solo album entitled…er…Peter Gabriel. Or Car if you prefer. Or even Peter Gabriel 1. Listen you need to decide for yourself because it’s only going to get more confusing when he releases more albums. Anyway, released in 1977 this is the first of 4 self titled albums by the former Genesis...

Welcome back to The Revelation Station! For the second season of the show we have decided to have a listen to some of the solo albums released by the band members. We’re going to do them in order of release, rather than each artist individually. That means the honour of the first episode goes to Mr Steve Hackett. Released in 1975, Voyage of the Acolyte is the first of 25 albums by everyone’s favou...
