Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Better Compilation of this Material Available.......2005-05-18

The album has lovely melodies and interesting introspective lyrics. Not quite as eccentric and idiosyncratic as subsequent albums with Gabriel. More of a gentle pop feel. You can actually hear a Bee Gees influence on Silent Sun. Some people think the orchestration detracts from the recording, but it is done very tastefully (by the well-known Arthur Greenslade) to complement the band's arrangements, and doesn't intrude when the band's own instrumental playing (which was rudimentary at this stage of their career) is at its strongest.

You would be better served by the British reissue of this recording on the Edsel label this year (March 2005). It has a second disc with extra demos, rough mixes, and rarities in addition to what is on this Japanese CD. And I believe it may cost less as well.

5 out of 5 stars Not Prog, but great........2004-08-30

Their first. This Criminally underated album was how they started off, as an almost Cat Stevens like band. Don't dudge this album by what Genesis became but dudge for what it is-a gentle little album. The music here is so cool, mellow and relaxing. Beautiful-not Genesis, but great...

P.s. The original Vinyl (sp) was black with gold writting. I'm not sure, but I think the previouse reviewer has the reissue that came out during the seventies.

4 out of 5 stars For attention of previous reviewer.......2004-08-25

Just for the previous reviewer's information, I checked my vinyl album this morning, and the label on it has a blue background with silver writing on it. Definitely not gold with black.

P.S. Addendum to review - the original vinyl was DEFINITELY blue with silver writing. I have SKL 4990, the original stereo pressing. There was also LK 4990 (much more rare), the original mono pressing - this was red with silver writing. See http://www.genesismuseum.com/vinyl/fgtr.htm for further details.

4 out of 5 stars Completes mini-lp collection, but..........2004-06-29

I won't bother to review the music on the CD as the reader is probably already familiar with Genesis's first album.

I bought this CD to complete my collection of the Japanese Mini-Lp reproductions of the Genesis discography. Like the others in the series, it's in a fairly sturdy cardboard sleeve and it has what I assume to be the original LP insert. Unlike the others, it has a nice re-closable plastic sleeve to protect the OBI.
