Customer Reviews

Oh..no..this I can`t believe!!!.....Oh..no..they`re asking me to grieve!!!
No competent remastering in the world can make this album good, and in this case it is the high end that makes it wrong. Even a Classic Records 200 gram copy either could wipe out the yawns caused by the music here. If there is a reason to buy this, it has to be the pre-W&W live dvd tracks, which are good, but marred a bit by inferior picture quality.

W&W must be one of the top five most anticipated releases in my whole life as a music fan. About six months after I witnessed the ultra-mind-blowing Trick Of The Tail tour with Bill Bruford on drums, a friend of mine purchased this before I knew it had arrived at the local record store, and I listened through it once and wondered what had happened to the fresh and hungry band I had seen on stage. I just left it there.
More than 30 years after, my response at that moment is reprised when confronted with this release.

None of the dynamics and engergy of the first Collins era-tour were evident. The drum grooves were lesser than the usual PC standards. They were even smaller, deptless and nearly stiff in comparision. Not to speak of the many banal and boring songs and lyrics. I have read quite a few reviews that defends this album by saying that it is a "romantic" prog-album. There are a few romantic, not so directly powerhousey songs on ATOT, but they still sounds BIG, so............

I have read interviews with the band members after the Bruford-tour where they clearly stated their appreciation for what the addition of BB added to their music. Therefore I am still suprised that what seemed to be the new vibe and energy for the band at this stage, did not in any form end up on W&W.

Watching and listening to the Bruford-tour bootlegs, I still find that what ever should annoy anyone about Gabriel`s absense(I think PC was great in 1976, he had not yet become "Phil Collins" and did not come off vulgar as he later did, either when singing or through the visual aspects of his stage presence), was more than weighed up for by Bruford playing and the two drummers chemistry together. I had never experienced a Genesis like that before and would unfortunately never do it again.

In 1977 with Chester Thompson(who is a great drummer as well), it still sounded very good (save for the W6W tunes they did), but still you got the feeling that the last word had been said and that it was not going to develop any further, only consolidating what it had become.

In That Quiet Earth and Eleventh Earl Of Mar are not bad, and would have been good tracks on say, the 3rd or 4th Steve Hackett albums, but would never have matched his first or the majority of the tunes on his 2nd LP.

Dry Mixes
Right boys lets remix this album and lets make it sound a little bit like `Abacab` take away all the reverb and the lush sound of the original 1976 album and while you are there turn down the guitarist on the mix he`s not in the `trio` so just ease down on his part on this album. I bought this album and sold my 1994 remix on ebay looking forward to a new millenium remix of one of my favorite Genesis albums and what I heard shocked me, its like all the reverb and for want of a better word all the `Lushness` was taken out of the remix...I was gutted! You cannot take a classic Genesis album from a classic prog era and try to remix it and make it sound as dry as `Abacab` and the silly albums that followed.All the albums from `Duke` onwards were `Phil Collins` albums and what is more disappointing is that Banks/Rutherford never took the ascendency and kept the band in the Pink Floyd/ELP classic Prog Genre there is a lot more cred in prog rock right now, listen to Mars Volta, Porcupine Tree,IQ, Pendragon,Fish etc. just listen to `entangled` on the CD/DVD version of `Trick of the Tail` and the end section will tell you this is a poor remix, trying to bring a late seventies un-remixable mix to the new millenium....And as and extra to this review i have just bought the 1994 versions of these albums of which I sold before I bought these 2 packages came up, and all I can say apart from the DVD extras buy the 1994 remixes..Just my opinion of course

Thank you multichannel gods!
Having bought four Genesis multichannels at the same time, I have to say that Wind & Wuthering is perhaps the one benefiting most from the multichannel mix. The other three being Trick of the tail, And then there were three, and Duke.

I had almost forgotten how wonderful album this is. The new mc mix is just great: no gimmics, crisp and clear sound. In short, it just works!

To prove the point, my six months old daughter clearly loved this too (with a reasonable volume). Quietly listening and concentrating, and then peacefully falling in sleep...
