Four songs come from Selling England by the Pound, and two come from The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, and that is as far back as the UK edition of The Last Domino? goes. Let’s face it, they’re longer and often take up more space, notably “The Cinema Show” and “Dancing With the Moonlit Knight”.
Of the 27 songs on the UK edition, only six come from the Peter Gabriel era. The cupboards are pretty much bare at this point, meaning that the only reason The Last Domino? – The Hits exists is as a tour souvenir. Each one came packaged with each album, a collection of rarities, and corresponding DVDs. If you wanted to rock out to the Spot the Pigeon and 3×3 EPs in their entirety, you could spring for the boxset that covered those particular eras of Genesis. The two-CD tour edition was even better because it gave you “Paperlate”, “Pigeons”, and “Inside and Out”. The treat that came with Turn It on Again: The Hits was Gabriel rerecording the 1974 “Carpet Crawlers” with his old bandmates. Mike Rutherford’s Mike + The Mechanics, Peter Gabriel, and Phil Collins may have gotten the lion’s share of radio airplay in the 1980s, but R-Kive made sure you heard solo recordings from keyboardist Tony Banks and guitarist Steve Hackett as well. R-Kive was a great way to get acquainted with the ambitious songs from the Peter Gabriel era like “The Knife” and “Supper’s Ready” and also offered the listener a chance to dip their toes into the solo careers of Genesis’ members. Genesis haven’t released any new music since 1997, but they have released eight box sets, and the compilation Turn It on Again: The Hits in that time. This review concerns the UK edition since that’s what I was given. When it comes to the songs that overlap both additions, the running orders are equally jumbled. This is strange, considering that Genesis were a British band, and the only inclusions from such quintessentially English albums as A Trick of the Tail and Nursery Cryme are on the American editions. Including “Home by the Sea” and not following it with “Second Home by the Sea” is like including “Long Distance Runaround” on a Yes compilation but omitting “The Fish”.įor the US, you get “Misunderstanding”, “Los Endos”, and “The Musical Box”. If you pick up the UK edition, the “exclusives” you get are “Duke’s End”, “Second Home by the Sea”, “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway”, and “I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)”. The differences between the two seem arbitrary and downright pointless considering the ubiquity of music on YouTube and Spotify these days. To commemorate what might be the prog-turned-stadium act’s last hurrah, VirginRecords are releasing two different editions of the double compilation The Last Domino? – The Hits, one for the United Kingdom market and one for the United States. The project landed itself in the #1 spot on Billboard's R&B/hip-hop charts with 58K units sold.The Last Domino? - the title may be taken from Genesis‘ ten-minute composition “Domino”, but the question mark suggests that the 2021-2022 tour of the same name may be the band’s final run.

Take a listen & let us know what you think. Going in over the slow tempo, soulful instrumental by BubbaGotBeatz, who launched the social media driven “10 Toes Down Challenge,” Kodak delivers an introspective record that finds him reflecting on his come up in the game & rapping about “servin’ Demi Lovato” in the process. For the fourth time in the past eight days, following up “Time Never Worried,” “1000,” & “Black Cat” releases, Kodak decides to liberate another new offering called “Conditioned (Ten Toes Down Challenge).” Now two weeks removed from Project Baby 2, and with it still in rotation, Kodak continues to keep feeding the streets with new heat. Looking to keep it all going, Kodak came through in August & not only dropped off a couple more loose singles & videos, but he also surprised fans with the release of his Project Baby 2 mixtape as well, which featured XXXTENTACION, Offset, & more. Back in June, he kicked things off by dropping off songs like “First Day Out,” “Water,” My Cousin” & “Just A Wrap,” before linking up with Future for the track “Boost My Ego” in July. Since getting released from jail back in June, Florida sensation Kodak Black has been releasing new music at a ridiculous pace, and thankfully he doesn’t look to be slowing up anytime soon either.
