Iqembu likaGenesise libonise umhlaba ukuthi iyini idwala langempela le-avant-garde eliqhubekayo, elizalwa kabusha ngokushelela libe into entsha enomsindo ongavamile.
Iqembu elingcono kakhulu laseBrithani, ngokusho komagazini abaningi, izinhlu, imibono yabagxeki bomculo, lakha umlando omusha wedwala, okungukuthi i-art rock.
Iminyaka yokuqala. Ukudalwa kanye nokwakheka kukaGenesise
Bonke abahlanganyeli bafunda esikoleni esisodwa esizimele sabafana, i-Charterhouse, lapho bahlangana khona. Abathathu kubo (uPeter Gabriel, uTony Banks, uChristy Stewart) badlale eqenjini lesikole le-rock iGarden Wall, kwathi u-Anthony Philipps kanye noMike Reseford babambisana ezingomeni ezahlukahlukene.
Ngo-1967, abafana baphinde bahlangana eqenjini elinamandla futhi baqopha izinguqulo ezimbalwa zedemo zezingoma zabo kanye nezinguqulo zekhava zamahithi kusukela ngaleso sikhathi.
Eminyakeni emibili kamuva, leli qembu laqala ukusebenza nomkhiqizi Jonathan King, owaphothula esikoleni esifanayo lapho abafana bafunda khona, kanye nabasebenzi benkampani yokurekhoda ye-Decca.
Nguye lo muntu owaphakamisa leli qembu igama elithi Genesis, elihunyushwe lisuselwa esiNgisini ngokuthi “The Book of Genesis”.
Ukusebenzisana no-Decca kube nesandla ekukhululweni kwe-albhamu yokuqala yeqembu Ukusuka kuGenesise kuya ekuRelevation. Irekhodi lalingeyona impumelelo yezohwebo, njengoba yayingeyona into ephawulekayo.
Kwakungekho misindo emisha kuyo, i-zest eyingqayizivele, ngaphandle kwezingxenye zekhibhodi zikaTony Banks. Ngokushesha ilebula yanqamula inkontileka, futhi iqembu likaGenesise laya enkampanini yokuqopha i-Charisma Records.
Ligcwele isifiso sokudala, lidala umsindo ongajwayelekile, omusha, ibhendi yahola iqembu ukuthi lidale irekhodi elilandelayo le-Trespass, ngenxa yokuthi abaculi bazenza baziwa kulo lonke elaseBrithani.
I-albhamu yathandwa abalandeli berock eqhubekayo, eyaba yindawo yokuqala endleleni yokudala yeqembu. Ngesikhathi sokudala okunezithelo, u-Anthony Philipps washiya iqembu ngenxa yesimo sakhe sempilo.
Emlandela, umculi wesigubhu uChris Stewart wahamba. Ukuhamba kwabo kwanyakazisa inqwaba yabaculi abasasele, kwaze kwafika esinqumweni sokulihlakaza leli qembu.
Ukufika komshayi wezigubhu uPhil Collins kanye nomshayi wesigingci uSteve Hackett kwasusa isimo esibucayi, futhi iqembu likaGenesise laqhubeka nomsebenzi walo.
Impumelelo yokuqala kaGenesise
I-albhamu yesibili kaFoxtrot ikhishwe ngokushesha kunombolo 12 eshadini lase-UK. Amathrekhi angajwayelekile asuselwe ezindabeni zika-Arthur C. Clarke namanye ama-classic adumile athole impendulo ezinhliziyweni zabalandeli bendlela engavamile emculweni we-rock.
Izinhlobonhlobo zezithombe zasesiteji zikaPeter Gabriel zenze amakhonsathi e-rock ajwayelekile abe yizibuko eziyingqayizivele, aqhathaniseka nemidlalo yaseshashalazini kuphela.
Ngo-1973, kwakhululwa i-albhamu ethi Selling England by the Pound, okuyisiqubulo seLabour Party. Leli rekhodi lithole ukubuyekezwa okuhle futhi libe yimpumelelo kwezohwebo.
Izingoma zazihlanganisa imisindo yokuhlola - u-Hackett wafunda izindlela ezintsha zokukhipha imisindo esigincini, abanye abaculi bazenzela awabo amasu abonakalayo.
Ngonyaka olandelayo, uGenesise wakhipha ingoma ethi IWundlu Lilala Phansi ku-Broadway, okukhumbuza umculo odlalwayo. Ingoma ngayinye yayinomlando wayo, kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo yayihlobene eduze.
Ibhendi iqhubekile nokuvakasha ngokweseka i-albhamu, lapho iqale khona ukusebenzisa indlela entsha ye-laser ukuze idale umbukiso okhanyayo.
Ngemva kokuvakasha komhlaba, kwaqala ukungezwani eqenjini. Ngo-1975, uPeter Gabriel umemezele ukuhamba kwakhe, okungashaqisi nje kuphela abanye abaculi, kodwa futhi "abalandeli" abaningi.
Wakuthethelela ukuhamba kwakhe ngomshado wakhe, ukuzalwa kwengane yakhe yokuqala kanye nokulahlekelwa ubuntu eqenjini ngemva kokuthola udumo nempumelelo.
Indlela eqhubekayo yeqembu
UPhil Collins waba ngumculi weGenesis. Irekhodi elikhishiwe elithi A Trick of the Tail lamukelwa ngemfudumalo abagxeki, naphezu komsindo omusha wezwi. Ngenxa ye-albhamu, leli qembu lalidume kakhulu, lathengiswa ngamanani abalulekile.
Ukuhamba kukaGabriel, owahamba nemfihlakalo nobuhlakani bemidlalo, akuzange kumise ukudlala bukhoma kweqembu.
U-Collins udale imidlalo yaseshashalazini engaphansi, kwezinye izikhathi ibe ngcono kuneyasekuqaleni.
Okunye ukushaywa wukuhamba kukaHackett ngenxa yokungavumelani okunqwabelene. Umculi wabhala izingoma eziningi zezinsimbi "etafuleni", ezingahambisani nendikimba yama-albhamu akhululiwe.
Phela, irekhodi ngalinye lalinokuqukethwe kwalo. Isibonelo, i-albhamu ethi Wind and Wuthering isekelwe ngokuphelele kunoveli ethi Wuthering Heights ka-Emily Brontë.
Ngo-1978, kwakhululwa i-lyric disc ...Futhi Bese Kube Nezintathu, okwaqeda ukusungulwa kwezingoma ezingajwayelekile.
Eminyakeni emibili kamuva, i-albhamu entsha kaDuke yavela emakethe yomculo, eyakhiwe ngaphansi kokubhalwa kukaCollins. Le yi-albhamu yokuqala yeqembu yokuhlanganiswa ukuze ibe phezulu kumashadi omculo ase-US nase-UK.
Kamuva, i-albhamu kaGenesise eyaphumelela kakhulu yakhululwa, enesimo seplatinamu ephindwe kane. Zonke izingoma nezingoma ezivela ku-albhamu zazingenawo umshoshaphansi, okwangempela nokungajwayelekile.
Iningi lalokhu bekungamahithi ajwayelekile angaleso sikhathi. Ngo-1991, uPhil Collins washiya iqembu futhi wazinikela ngokuphelele emsebenzini wakhe eyedwa.
Iqembu namuhla
Njengamanje, iqembu ngezinye izikhathi lidlala amakhonsathi amancane "abalandeli". Ngamunye wabahlanganyeli uhlanganyela emisebenzini yokudala - ubhala izincwadi, umculo, udala imidwebo.
