Simon Collins Talks eMolecule, Sound of Contact, and Solo Works

I spoke with solo artist and half of eMolecule, Simon Collins for this episode. Simon discusses his musical beginnings, going on Genesis tours as a child with his famous father, recording a cover of the Genesis song "Keep it Dark," the rise and fall of Sound of Contact, the concept behind eMolecule's debut album, The Architect, and his excellent 2008 solo album, U-Catastrophe, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year.

To me, “Dimensionaut” is a wonderful, profound album, and Simon deserves to be very proud of it. Wish I could express to him what it means to me.

Saw SOC on CTTE, was a really good show, sorry they weren't able to keep the glue going.

Sounding like his dad, Simon is the best vocalist with Genesis Revisited with Steve Hackett. Of course smokes on the drums too.

Always interesting to hear how musicians get their start.
