Now I'm listening to Duruflé's Requiem! The 1961 version. This one honestly sounds like it could be used in a film (I wonder if it has been...)
Got a tip for us?

December 1 2023 was an important day for my musical ears.
since I have not purchased an musical recording this year, my first since 1973,
I planed on Peter Gabriel's I/0 release, and posted my thoughts earlier in October here.
one of my fav recording is Passion while So might be the best recorded album ever.
BUT
I dont like the 2 song version options, im too headstrong in a one song one way theory
as the rest of the musical world does that.
SO
I might just purchase the first 12 songs, @ 1.29 per pop.
that is 15.?? were buying the entire album would be feasible and efficient, they are smart!
I guess music is just like food shopping,
just like purchasing peanut butter,
we are forced to get the large container for $8 bucks instead of the 80% for a dollar less now.
another purchase conundrum in 2023.
I just answer my question so I will review the album, CD, ditto disc very soon!

The original album is superb.
Actually, I had that on LP (cough), for those who remember what that was, and also have it on CD, and, on my computer's (and iPod's) iTunes.
Terrific album.

Agreed, I have all of those formats as well.
If The Musical Box tour lands them near you I highly recommend seeing them, they have been touring for many years and one day the ability to see these great performances will be lost. If I had to guess I have seen them at least a dozen times. They do a near exact recreation of Genesis tours, I believe this tour is what is known as the "black show" which is the '74 SEBTP tour. They have instruments and set pieces from the band and both Steve Hackett and Phil Collins have joined them on stage. As far as the vocals go I have a hard time choosing the better between TMB's Denis Gagné or Nad Sylvan who tours with Steve Hackett.

How does it compare to the original LP?
So far, and based on one song, it's fantastic. It's neat hearing what the song sounds like unpolished. And there are little vocal bits that are hidden in the final product that you can hear now.
We're hearing the finished product minus the effects, horns, additional percussion, etc., etc...
I listened to it over and over, 10 times maybe, this morning during morning drop off.
Then compiled of playlist of nothing but different versions of BotR for comparison.
So do I, Moon Safari is a staple in my playlist.
Agree, agree, agree.
I was teaching at the time, and some of my students were thrilled to discover that I shared their love of Air.
Mine also.
Timeless. And absolutely brilliant.
Rumba De 5 Kilos - from the album Latenight Betty - by Pepe & The Bottle Blondes.
@rm5, don't know whether you have ever listened to (heard of) either Paris Combo, or Pepe & The Bottle Blondes, but I recommend both.
If you like Pink Martini (and I do), you may well like this, as well.

I love it. A wonderful stripped down version. Getting to hear all the stuff that got covered up in post production. It is odd hearing these little things and thinking that they might be considered "imperfections" but they still made it onto the final mix, just hidden.
If you're feeling exploratory, a criminally unknown band–IMHO–heavily influenced by Bowie is Capsula. They've done a full album recreation of Ziggy Stardust and have used Tony Visconti as a producer. I think their best albums are Rising Mountains and In The Land of Silver Souls.
(Bonus: bass players might dig seeing their bassist play a Gibson Grabber with moveable pickups. Yowsa!)
