Genesis have revealed details of a 3-disc set entitled R-Kive, which will include classic tracks alongside solo material by Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford and Steve Hackett.
The 37-song collection spans a time period of 42 years [from 1970's "The Knife" to 2012's "Siren" (from Tony Banks's Six: Pieces Of Orchestra, according to Amazon.com]. Will be released September 30, 2014.
The label says: "Genesis and their associated solo projects have accumulated a remarkable series of accomplishments over the years. They've collectively amassed an incredible 14 chart-topping albums, as well as over two dozen more that reached the top 10.
“In total, Genesis and the members’ related solo projects have sold more than 300 million albums worldwide."
The set is arranged chronologically and includes band hits "Invisible Touch," "Turn It On Again," "Land Of Confusion" and "I Can’t Dance." It also features Mike + The Mechanics' "The Living Years" and "Over My Shoulder," Collins' "In The Air Tonight" and "Easy Lover," Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill" and "Biko."
Gabriel - who received the Prog God honour at this year’s Progressive Music Awards – recently filmed a BBC documentary alongside Collins, Banks, Rutherford and Hackett.

[Editorial comment: Really? Collins' represented by "Easy Lover"?? I get "In The Air Tonight" -- classic and for various reasons, holds a lot of meaning for me, so no quibbles there. And no immediate quibbles with the Genesis material or the other solo stuff. But "Easy Lover"?? Not something from what I think has been is biggest solo release, No Jacket Required? "Take Me Home," "Inside Out," ... there are are a ton of great tracks there... all pop, but then so is "Easy Lover." Ok, I'm biased because the non-prog side of me loves NJR... I guess maybe "EL" was a bigger hit for him. Oh well.]
