I'm a Genesis fan. I have all the albums including the archives, and let me tell you, this is a pretty good decent album, Ray Wilson does an excellent job, but critics don't understand that. This album summarizes Genesis' career perfectly, progressive passages, pop songs, ballads, what some people call "pop-gressive," great lyrics, wonderful instruments, listen to this solo, doesn't it remind you Steve Hackett a little? Great album one day people will give it a chance and understand it.
_Calling All Stations_ would benefit from a new mix with attention paid to dynamics. There's so much Loudness Wars compression going on that listening to it for more than a couple of minutes turns becomes a real chore. Some of the fault lies in the arrangements themselves. Consider the title track: Ray Wilson and Mike Rutherford sound as if they were tasked with imposing a dramatic arc on a largely amorphous blob consisting of not much more than Banks' monotonous string pad drone and a drummer who has been told to keep it loud and simple and doesn't sound like he/she wants to be there. Rutherford adds some variety with dramatic rock and roll flourishes that aren't obviously connected to the material. Wilson sounds like he's the only one who's even trying, but it's all for naught because the mix is so muddy and the Loudness Wars compression pushes everything up to 11. The blame for the commercial and artistic failure of _Calling All Stations_ falls squarely on Rutherford and Banks. There is some good material in there, but Rutherford and Banks demonstrated that they lack the production and arrangement chops to cultivate it, so we're left with Ray Wilson singing karaoke within a half-baked, over-compressed mass of musical sludge. Why _Calling All Stations_ was remastered in 2007 remains a mystery. It's not as if the 1997 master didn't already have all of the characteristics that contemporary Loudness Wars "remasters" aim for. Anyway, there are plenty of flaws in _Calling All Stations_ that can't be fixed by mastering. Some could be fixed by a new mix that would take some creative liberties and maybe add some new parts and remove others. However, there's no reason to believe that Rutherford and Banks could improve on what's there already, considering how short of the mark they fell in 1997.
Come on. This is not just a bang average album overall but a pale imitation of what Genesis were. There are some good moments, like this song, but overall compared to every other Genesis record other than the first, it's pretty shit.
I love the album more than Banks or pretty much anyone. But never got a rhythmic or melodic satisfaction from this song, parts would have been cool in grandeur compositions though.
I always think Mike looks uncomfortable when playing lead guitar 🎸 4,some reason is that why when it's Phil s stuff Daryl is always on 🎸@@sandrobollea707
Genesis in this formation is very much underrated. Ray sings great, okay, it is not Phil, but it is very much Genesis. The more i hear CAS the more i appreciate it. Just GREAT, and a pity there were no more albums in this formation, i think people could be amased what these men could make together, with all respect to Phil :-).
Ray is a very emotional singer...I like that...he puts his all into what he is doing. He has a hard job....replacing the front men from a legendary band and trying to sound similar but still make it his own. He was very emotional on this and put his heart into this song.
You know what? I think I just found my favorite performance by Mike Rutherford as a lead guitarrist on this very video!!! Love it how he makes that Fender gently weep!
Ray wilson was awesome in Genesis.It was a crime he only did one album.The album CAS was one of Genesis best for years.His voice reminds me of Gabriel just a lot more powerful.
@@bellyofanarchitect My hearing is fine; your reading is off:-) I didn't say they sounded the same. I just said that Wilson's version of Carpet Crawl is fantastic. The official version with Steve Hackett on "Genesis Revisited 2½" is amazing too.
They are so proud that when there is a documentary about genesis you rarely see the C.A.S period... A shame! Ray wilson deserve the second album with genesis... Cas album is surely the one I listened to the most... I saw Ray last year in France... What a great moment... And how good nut was to live those genesis tracks again in concert...(with his solo career titles) Thanks to Ray to keep genesis alive during the old member are in their cave lol
The first time I heard this track I was really struck by the intensity and edginess of it, especially of Mike's playing. Small wonder he's my favorite guitarist. And such an underrated album CAS is.
You can think whatever you want of Rutherford's guitar skills, but to ME, he is awesome! He blows my mind away with the beautiful notes he plays in many songs.
Never got to see this Genesis incarnation live, and until just viewing this I'd never seen footage of them either. But I'm impressed. Been a huge Genesis fan since 1973. Recently revisited the CAS album and it's much much better than I first thought. And whilst I've never regarded Mike Rutherford as in the same class of guitarist as Steve Hackett, I have to say for him to put down his 4 string bass and pick up a 6 string lead and do THIS rendition of CAS so well ... then fair play Mr Rutherford. I've heard others say this ... perhaps rather than sticking with the Genesis name, this incarnation of the band perhaps should have called themselves Banks/Rutherford or Bankford or even BRW. There might have not been such negativity towards this lineup if they'd had a name change.
Lucy0809- Oh WOW! I guess that Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks ARE STILL with Genesis and Mike Rutherford is a very good guitarist and Tony Banks is a very good keyboardist too!
i can't say i love this album but ray did a great job not just on vocal duties but his stage presence is heavy. even when singing a light hearted tune, he has such a emotional feel about him. so many great people out their, ray deserves a place with them. genesis, like pink floyd, foreigner and so many others, are ever changing and always for the best. you don't have to love the album but if you open you heart you will find so much love and pain in this album
Calling all stations Can anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I am I've lost all sense of direction Watching the darkness closing around me Feeling the cold all through my body That's why I'm calling all stations In the hope that someone hears me A single lonely voice I feel the sensation disappearing There's a tingling in my arms And there's a numbness in my hands All the broken promises All my good intentions don't add up to very much And I realise whatever happened, whatever happened I remember all the moments that I've wasted in my life All the things I was always gonna do Why is it now when it's too late That I've finally realised it's important to me To think that everything that's dear to me And is always in my heart Could so easily be taken And it's tearing me apart Going over and over in my mind I relive it one second at a time Calling all stations Can anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I am How different things look when your all on your own Watching the darkness closing all around me All around me And I'm lost with feeling Of your arms to remind me Of everything that's dear to me And is always in my heart Could so easily be taken And it's tearing me apart Going over and over in my mind I relive it one second at a time Don't you know there's never been a moment When I haven't had the thought That everything that's dear to me And is always in my heart Could so easily be taken And it's tearing me apart Going over and over in my mind I relive it one second at a time As I sit here in the darkness Feeling so alone And everything that's dear to me And is always in my heart.
The best song from my favorite Genesis album. And I have them all, and have been a fan since I was six. (1986) Why this wasn't edited down to single form and released to radio, I'll never understand.
I got my ticket for the show in Detroit but the tour was canceled due to poor tickets sale, such a shame on Genesis fans in America not to give this line up a chance, i think this was a great album, but this is only my poor and humble opinion.
Ray looks so much better when he makes the effort to shave and get a good haircut. He's got so much talent and so much to offer. I realise that he gets depressed but I hope he realises that he's got people out there that really do appreciate him.
Ray Wison..is a beauty voice, great singer... and the last..unforgettable presence...thus, markable Phil..dont do this ...the place for few moments..was Ray's Genesis!!!
I listened CAS when I was 16...and blown my mind. Nowadays, as a veteran fan of Genesis in a retrospective vision, I think this tune is in a way some darker "no son of mine". Well, it's just an appreciation, the same drama , the particular melodies, with or without Phil, this is Genesis too
By no means a bad album. There are many good moments. Congo, uncertain weather, one mans fool are great songs. It is a shame that its kind of a forgotten album.
Thanks heaps for the upload. I think that this is much more powerful than the album version, which has an odd fadeout - here, the song reaches its climax and then is allowed to finish gracefully. An exceptional vocal performance married to excellent instrumental leads from Mike and Tony, and one of their strongest songs in some time.
Loved this song ever since it came out. It's a shame that they didn't continue with Ray Wilson, although it did allow me to see Genesis with Phil live in 2007.
I totally agree Tony, I have followed the band since I was 14. First saw them in 75 (The Lamb) and have lost count of how many times I have seen them over the years so I have seen and heard it all. Its a great piece and has all the classic marks of a Banks/Rutherford masterpiece, I love it and I reckon the album is very good too. Shame they never gave it a real go, I believe Ray did a fantastic job of filling some shoes that were always going to be hard to fill.
Clive Pattison I wasn't fortunate enough. Thankfully we can all enjoy The Musical Box, which does a superb job in recreating those glorious shows of yesteryear.
Admiro mucho a Phil Collins, pero este trabajo me parece que es más para la voz de Peter, es más oscuro y se necesita a mi entender un tono más rockero y fuerte.
Mucho material hecho para Peter lo cantó PC poco tiempo después y le dió su impronta, PC a esta versión le hubiera dado una melodía que con éste no tiene.
Kdo z cizích umělců se tak hezky naučil pár vět v českém jazyce a pak uvedl tuhle pecku, která perfektně graduje, turné s Rayem Wilsonem a Genesis bylo prý zrušeno pro nedostatek prodaných vstupenek, nechápu...
I bought this with an open mind, not knowing what to think, when it was released. I'd been a fan of Genesis since hearing "Follow You, Follow Me" as a single on the AM radio in my mom's car in 1978 when I was 9 years old. By 1986 I was running out and buying their catalogue with the income from my first serious job. Anyway, my point is that this album, musically and lyrically (IMHO) is at least on par with the 1983 self-titled album and perhaps even some of their more prog efforts.
While Ray is clearly a great singer, this confirms for me 3 things.. phil was not only a great drummer but also an arranger, steve was a highly original guitar player and pete was truly charismatic. There, said it.
I saw them in Budapest 1998, it was a great show Also he was a great singer....nice chit-chat and very communicative.... He played 'Mama" and duplicated PC acting... it was very funny and nice...
@@ScottatHouseonaHill Love songs? Pop songs? Fans bashed Phil for making the band too commercial. Then they make an album totally without Phil that is just as commercial. CAS is a good album but it is not English prog. As for Mama-Invisible touch-I can't dance they are excellent albums with many great songs. No son of mine and Dream while you sleep are among their best songs. In any event we can disagree and still be friends. This is a band we both love. I just think Phil takes too much blame.
This is a case of "What could have been." Like it was said below, had this been the first impression made by the new lineup, it would have been received differently. They had a new dynamic on this album - and it hearkened back to the best days of 1971 - 1977. Had they stuck to it and tried a second album, I think that would have been even better. For this longtime Genesis listener, Prog Genesis > Pop Genesis, and CAS is still an enjoyable listen.
Thanks to Ray for CAS, I still enjoy it. A real shame R&B treated you so poorly, you deserved better. Anyone else agree that the tone of Rutherford’s lead guitar leaves a lot to be desired? It makes my teeth itch. They really should’ve got a world class lead guitarist leaving Rutherford to rhythm/bass. If only they’d asked me!
Альбом супер!!! Эта песня любимая, хоть и грустная для меня. Группа и солист просто огонь! Спасибо! Любовь уже много лет, и на всю оставшуюся жизнь! ❤❤❤❤❤
2 months before they joined Dortmund in 98 i talked to Luis Conte who plays Congas etc. for Phil Collins (Phil was on DITL-Tour in 97). He said just think of Phil singing that song ! Years ago now, i still think that this song would be an absolute no.1 hit everywhere if Phil had sung it...
Aless - I so agree with you...I don't know why Ray does this; he's talented enough on his own without resorting to a back catalogue that isn't really his at all. And having said that, I loved this lineup. Cut short *way* too prematurely, Mr Rutherford and Mr Banks. And yes, they should have (could have?) invited Ray to do a number or two in 2007. Shame.
L'ARMONIA DELLA MUSICA: Quel non andare in tendenza…?? ...la bellezza.... andare oltre... magnifica, sta proprio lì...spezza le onde della continuità...come un ritorno indietro e poi ripartire... (il ritmo in progressione…e la chitarra elettrica, con la voce rauca con quell’andare oltre…)
Anch'io li vidi al Palasport. Era il 1982. Allora erano i Genesis. Questi non so chi siano. Anche se questo pezzo non è malaccio, in fondo. Phil Collins ci chiamava "integralisti", cioè coloro che non hanno accettato il cambio musicale da Abacab in poi. Diceva: "vorrei dire a queste persone se hanno le stesse scarpe di venti anni fa, o portano gli stessi pantaloni". Purtroppo non ho avuto la possibilità di replicare una cosa altrettanto efficace: "Anche Beethoven presumo che abbia cambiato scarpe e pantaloni in 20 anni, ma non ha creato la "sonata al chiaro di luna" per poi decidere di suonare "tanti auguri a te" al pianoforte. Forse tra amici, ma non su un disco. Inaccetabile" Sia chiaro, non è una critica a te che hai scritto questo commento. E' solo una riflessione, per me che sono cresciuto coi Genesis, ascoltare questa roba è peggio di uno shock anafilattico.
I think this man is the best Genesis singer, yes i like this album more than their others, and his grave voice fits their music much better let's be honest...
Top notch band. I wish they came to the USA but I think they over-extended themselves by booking places too large. Too many fair-weather fans needed to fill the big joints.
This is the most underrated Album of Genesis, done by the most underestimated Members of Genesis. But in my opinion it's by far the best album of the entire "Post-Hackett-Post-Gabriel" Era, they did. Banks delivers a warm and dense soundcarpet with an incredible chord progression, while Rutherford wears the entire piece on his guitar. Sure, he is not a van Halen or Joe Satriani, even no Hackett. But he plays a warm, soft and melodic guitar which show his talents as a composer. And Wilson was a big luck for them to find, I feel sorry for him being treated so badly by them. He sings with passion and joy. So why people hate this album? Because only two remainers can't form the band? What a joke - look at the Uriah Heep lineups. I like this album, it should be recognized better.
@@LaurinaHawks what’s bullshit is Banks and Rutherford thinking that the post Collins era of Genesis would have any appeal at all. Without Phil’s distinctive voice it’s a no win proposition. They wouldn’t even allow Chester Thompson to be a full time member of the band! Calling All Stations may have been looked upon as a decent effort if it wasn’t called a Genesis album. It’s obvious without Phil the allure and drawing power of the band diminished to embarrassingly low numbers.
@@dexterdog62 I don't know where you get this disgusting Phil Collins addiction from, but I can tell you that there are a lot of fans who can imagine Genesis without Collins very well. After all, the best albums were made without him - without him as a singer. Back then it was a certain Peter Gabriel, if you can remember that. Even then it was said that without Gabriel the band would no longer be Genesis, which was true to some extent, but at least Steve Hackett was still there, still keeping the prog flame high. But with Collins, Genesis became a mainstream band - without him and his influence, they would have had a chance at greatness again, they just had to hang in there. The album is musically far better than the last albums before. And anyone who says otherwise doesn't understand music.
@sean3415 Very thoughtful that. Indeed, Tony Smith did say that Phil Mike and Tony worked like a machine, and Phil's part was pulling Mike and Tony's ideas together. Still, I really enjoy the Calling all Stations album.
"CALLING ALL STATIONS" - GENESIS 1997 Genesis - Calling All Stations (Live) Prague/Czech Republic - 02/02/1998 "CALLING ALL STATIONS" - GENESIS 1997 Live tour mondiale 1998 il 31 gennaio 1998 Roma Pala-Sport dell' EUR - noi c'eravamo.... IO...C'ERO.... la 1^ volta i Genesis senza Phil Collins alla voce con Ray Wilson - Tony Banks - Mike Rotherford COME E' GRADEVOLE ASCOLTARE... un ritmo musicale che si base all'inverso, in contro tendenza....bello.... ...in progressione.....fino all'apice... Quel non andare in tendenza…?? ...la bellezza della canzone, magnifica, sta proprio lì...spezza le onde della continuità... come un ritorno indietro e poi ripartire... con...quella modulazione della chitarra elettrica... ....che progressione nelle melodie... interminabili.... Ray Wilson...una voce Rock, una bellissima voce.... ...la progressione....di quella voce rauca di Ray, continuativa e con quell'andare lontano, nell'infinito....la chitarra elettrica di Mike, domina lo scenario, una cicala "limare" il suono denso di onde ripetitive che sfuggono e si rincorrono nella progressione...senza pause..., la continuità prerompente della batteria, in due tempi, uno martellante e l'altro morbido..., alla batteria prima volta del giovanissimo batterista 21enne egiziano, prescelto della band...per sostituire Phil Collins... (quella progressione nella parte finale sempre più veloce…)
I also felt that this era of the band deserved better. Calling All Stations was a much more consistent album that We Can't Dance (which had some great stuff, but some really stinkers as well). This is one of the better songs, along with Shipwrecked, which should have been their mega-single.
I would've paid anything to be at this concert. Can't people accept change???? For me there have been 3 wonderful and completely 3 Genesis groups or eras: 1) Peter's, 2) Phil''s and 3) Edgy and dark Ray and Mike Rutherford. What went wrong? They simply evolved. Love both these artists!
@bakinchoy That is a fact and I totally agree. I saw The Musical Box perform in Milwaukee last night. At times I had to remind myself that it was not Genesis. They were that good. Peace.
I'm a Genesis fan. I have all the albums including the archives, and let me tell you, this is a pretty good decent album, Ray Wilson does an excellent job, but critics don't understand that.

I love it, this album made me look into stiltskin and I have been buying everything Ray does since.
These comments are everywhere!

I love the album more than Banks or pretty much anyone. But never got a rhythmic or melodic satisfaction from this song, parts would have been cool in grandeur compositions though.
Absolutely true..
Maybe this Is not one of the finest song. But maybe this album Is their best since 1977...

Please...There's no comparison between both...
Please. Of course there is a comparison. And listen to Carpet Crawl from Globen in Stockholm, Sweden. Ray Wilson OWNS that song.
@@bfdmudk There must be something wrong with your ears. Wilson no way sounds like Gabriel.
@@bellyofanarchitect My hearing is fine; your reading is off:-) I didn't say they sounded the same. I just said that Wilson's version of Carpet Crawl is fantastic. The official version with Steve Hackett on "Genesis Revisited 2½" is amazing too.
Next to Carpet Crawlers, this is my favourite Genesis song. Banks and Rutherford should be very proud of their songwriting on this.
I do agree!!
YES!
Really love this song...it burrows into me and echoes for days; it's great how the intensity just keeps building and building
They are so proud that when there is a documentary about genesis you rarely see the C.A.S period... A shame!

Man, this is fantastic song!
The most powerful performance and song I’ve ever heard 👍👍👍
song gives me the chills. You an hear the hearbreak and torment in his voice as the song builds
Ray Wilson is an excellent singer. The song is great. Unfortunately, I couldn't attend the concert. Thank you.❤❤❤
Calling All Stations is legit one of the best make-out albums of all time. Just put it on in the background.
You can think whatever you want of Rutherford's guitar skills, but to ME, he is awesome! He blows my mind away with the beautiful notes he plays in many songs.
agree
he's always been totally underrated. check out Smallcreep's day, the whole album!
Both playing guitar or bass, IMHO.
Denis Morissette And he is a monster in the bass
Rutherford's guitar is superb in this song.
He's dark and strange here. Absolutely Superb!!!! It's what I like most about this song.
Yes, great tune. This album was underrated because Phi Collins was not in....the music press is often stupid
Nothing fancy but very effective.

Lucy0809- Oh WOW! I guess that Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks ARE STILL with Genesis and Mike Rutherford is a very good guitarist and Tony Banks is a very good keyboardist too!
for me, Calling All Stations is a Dark Song, so deep, makes me hurt and so alone.
I love Ray Willson.
Best song they ever put out.. Ray is by far my favorite genesis singer..
Great song, sound and vocals.
So heavy. It’s unlike anything Genesis had done before and I love it
Ray Wilson is great in this song!

Calling all stations
Can anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I am
I've lost all sense of direction
Watching the darkness closing around me
Feeling the cold all through my body
That's why I'm calling all stations
In the hope that someone hears me
A single lonely voice
I feel the sensation disappearing
There's a tingling in my arms
And there's a numbness in my hands
All the broken promises
All my good intentions don't add up to very much
And I realise whatever happened, whatever happened
I remember all the moments that I've wasted in my life
All the things I was always gonna do
Why is it now when it's too late
That I've finally realised it's important to me
To think that everything that's dear to me
And is always in my heart
Could so easily be taken
And it's tearing me apart
Going over and over in my mind
I relive it one second at a time
Calling all stations
Can anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I am
How different things look when your all on your own
Watching the darkness closing all around me
All around me
And I'm lost with feeling
Of your arms to remind me
Of everything that's dear to me
And is always in my heart
Could so easily be taken
And it's tearing me apart
Going over and over in my mind
I relive it one second at a time
Don't you know there's never been a moment
When I haven't had the thought
That everything that's dear to me
And is always in my heart
Could so easily be taken
And it's tearing me apart
Going over and over in my mind
I relive it one second at a time
As I sit here in the darkness
Feeling so alone
And everything that's dear to me
And is always in my heart.
Album e canzone stupenda... peccato davvero che non ci sia stato un seguito con questa formazione 💖
The best song from my favorite Genesis album. And I have them all, and have been a fan since I was six. (1986)
Why this wasn't edited down to single form and released to radio, I'll never understand.
Don't know why Genesis didn't work out with Ray, he is a great singer but PC was a big act to follow. Great video none the less .
I got my ticket for the show in Detroit but the tour was canceled due to poor tickets sale, such a shame on Genesis fans in America not to give this line up a chance, i think this was a great album, but this is only my poor and humble opinion.
Whole album was great. Very romantic and rich and a killer late night make out LP!
Ray looks so much better when he makes the effort to shave and get a good haircut.
He's got so much talent and so much to offer.
I realise that he gets depressed but I hope he realises that he's got people out there that really do appreciate him.
Just love this song, and album :-)
Ray Wison..is a beauty voice, great singer... and the last..unforgettable presence...thus, markable
Phil..dont do this ...the place for few moments..was Ray's Genesis!!!
I listened CAS when I was 16...and blown my mind. Nowadays, as a veteran fan of Genesis in a retrospective vision, I think this tune is in a way some darker "no son of mine". Well, it's just an appreciation, the same drama , the particular melodies, with or without Phil, this is Genesis too
Should have carried on.........
Great song. Ray was great. They should have come to America.
They were, and then cancelled it.
I loved this album. I think it's fair to say, this was a pretty heavy album for them. Not in terms of metal or anything but a little more rock to it.
Pretty god job from Ray Wilson. Congratulations!!!
I have this album,it's awesome!
By no means a bad album. There are many good moments. Congo, uncertain weather, one mans fool are great songs. It is a shame that its kind of a forgotten album.
Thanks heaps for the upload. I think that this is much more powerful than the album version, which has an odd fadeout - here, the song reaches its climax and then is allowed to finish gracefully.

Studio is standard tuning , that’s the reason
0:51 the song start
I'm glad Ray did this album. I don't think Phil Collins could have sung this song as good as he did.
My favourite song for all the time
Loved this song ever since it came out. It's a shame that they didn't continue with Ray Wilson, although it did allow me to see Genesis with Phil live in 2007.
Ten kawałek to sześć lat mojego życia dokładnie sześć lat temu rozwód i wciąż wołam ..
I LOVE GENESIS MUSIC...ONE MAN DOES NOT MAKE THE THE GROUP!!!!!!!!!!
No Banks or Rutherford No Collins No genesis!
Geweldige song ! Genieten!!!
Calling all Staions is a great album!
Great Song, Great Singer... and this from a long standing Genesis fan...
Calling All Stations is my favorite genesis album. It’s right up there with The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
Great song, I love it very much! Well written lyrics, awesome tunes!
I totally agree Tony, I have followed the band since I was 14. First saw them in 75 (The Lamb) and have lost count of how many times I have seen them over the years so I have seen and heard it all. Its a great piece and has all the classic marks of a Banks/Rutherford masterpiece, I love it and I reckon the album is very good too. Shame they never gave it a real go, I believe Ray did a fantastic job of filling some shoes that were always going to be hard to fill.
Clive Pattison I wasn't fortunate enough. Thankfully we can all enjoy The Musical Box, which does a superb job in recreating those glorious shows of yesteryear.
I would love to hear Phil Collins sing this in his prime. This would have been a masterpiece.
Admiro mucho a Phil Collins, pero este trabajo me parece que es más para la voz de Peter, es más oscuro y se necesita a mi entender un tono más rockero y fuerte.
Mucho material hecho para Peter lo cantó PC poco tiempo después y le dió su impronta, PC a esta versión le hubiera dado una melodía que con éste no tiene.
Kdo z cizích umělců se tak hezky naučil pár vět v českém jazyce a pak uvedl tuhle pecku, která perfektně graduje, turné s Rayem Wilsonem a Genesis bylo prý zrušeno pro nedostatek prodaných vstupenek, nechápu...
I bought this with an open mind, not knowing what to think, when it was released. I'd been a fan of Genesis since hearing "Follow You, Follow Me" as a single on the AM radio in my mom's car in 1978 when I was 9 years old. By 1986 I was running out and buying their catalogue with the income from my first serious job.
Anyway, my point is that this album, musically and lyrically (IMHO) is at least on par with the 1983 self-titled album and perhaps even some of their more prog efforts.
While Ray is clearly a great singer, this confirms for me 3 things.. phil was not only a great drummer but also an arranger, steve was a highly original guitar player and pete was truly charismatic. There, said it.
Genious song !!! I was there !!!
I saw them in Budapest 1998, it was a great show
Also he was a great singer....nice chit-chat and very communicative....
He played 'Mama" and duplicated PC acting... it was very funny and nice...
Very underrated album, if you ask me. Better than Invisible Touch by a mile.
No it is not. Half the album are love songs. 🙄
@@joeblow2069 Nope, I stand by my assessment.
@@joeblow2069 And that's a problem how? IT was an awful disgrace. After ABACAB, the band lost its way. They may have sold millions, but they sold out.
@@ScottatHouseonaHill Love songs? Pop songs?
Fans bashed Phil for making the band too commercial. Then they make an album totally without Phil that is just as commercial. CAS is a good album but it is not English prog.
As for Mama-Invisible touch-I can't dance they are excellent albums with many great songs. No son of mine and Dream while you sleep are among their best songs.
In any event we can disagree and still be friends. This is a band we both love. I just think Phil takes too much blame.
I like this album, great deal of talent in the lineup.
Una canción bellisima echa con mucho corazón, lastima que solo sacarián un disco asi tendriamos verdadera música
awesome solo in the middle of the track
still can't imagine how awesome is that!
This is a case of "What could have been." Like it was said below, had this been the first impression made by the new lineup, it would have been received differently.
They had a new dynamic on this album - and it hearkened back to the best days of 1971 - 1977. Had they stuck to it and tried a second album, I think that would have been even better. For this longtime Genesis listener, Prog Genesis > Pop Genesis, and CAS is still an enjoyable listen.
The setlists showed that they weren't really willing to fully return to prog, sadly.
Thanks to Ray for CAS, I still enjoy it. A real shame R&B treated you so poorly, you deserved better.
Anyone else agree that the tone of Rutherford’s lead guitar leaves a lot to be desired? It makes my teeth itch. They really should’ve got a world class lead guitarist leaving Rutherford to rhythm/bass.
If only they’d asked me!
Альбом супер!!! Эта песня любимая, хоть и грустная для меня. Группа и солист просто огонь! Спасибо! Любовь уже много лет, и на всю оставшуюся жизнь! ❤❤❤❤❤
Ray should get together with Mike and Tony and Nic Collins now that Phil is poorly 😷 xx
2 months before they joined Dortmund in 98 i talked to Luis Conte who plays Congas etc. for Phil Collins (Phil was on DITL-Tour in 97). He said just think of Phil singing that song ! Years ago now, i still think that this song would be an absolute no.1 hit everywhere if Phil had sung it...
Great song and singer!
I agree rutherfords guitar is superb but Ray Wilsons vocals are nothing short of fantastic ! By far the best song on this album !
I was there! Great!
Isto e muito....muito bom.......rock proguessivo e miha vida
Aless - I so agree with you...I don't know why Ray does this; he's talented enough on his own without resorting to a back catalogue that isn't really his at all. And having said that, I loved this lineup. Cut short *way* too prematurely, Mr Rutherford and Mr Banks. And yes, they should have (could have?) invited Ray to do a number or two in 2007. Shame.
F----g underrated song from Genesis.
Only just heard this, and although very much in favour of Phil Colliñs and Steve Hackett's input, have to admit that this is excellent.
Que música Boa genesis
Love this Song ❤
i looooove this song! and this singer is handsome, wow!
L'ARMONIA DELLA MUSICA: Quel non andare in tendenza…?? ...la bellezza.... andare oltre... magnifica, sta proprio lì...spezza le onde della continuità...come un ritorno indietro e poi ripartire... (il ritmo in progressione…e la chitarra elettrica, con la voce rauca con quell’andare oltre…)
sì... i Genesis, li ho visto a Roma nel 1998, al Pala Sport..... straordinario concerto......
Anch'io li vidi al Palasport. Era il 1982. Allora erano i Genesis. Questi non so chi siano. Anche se questo pezzo non è malaccio, in fondo. Phil Collins ci chiamava "integralisti", cioè coloro che non hanno accettato il cambio musicale da Abacab in poi. Diceva: "vorrei dire a queste persone se hanno le stesse scarpe di venti anni fa, o portano gli stessi pantaloni". Purtroppo non ho avuto la possibilità di replicare una cosa altrettanto efficace: "Anche Beethoven presumo che abbia cambiato scarpe e pantaloni in 20 anni, ma non ha creato la "sonata al chiaro di luna" per poi decidere di suonare "tanti auguri a te" al pianoforte. Forse tra amici, ma non su un disco. Inaccetabile" Sia chiaro, non è una critica a te che hai scritto questo commento. E' solo una riflessione, per me che sono cresciuto coi Genesis, ascoltare questa roba è peggio di uno shock anafilattico.
GREAT RAY ... A WORM VOICE... MAGIC...
Why isn't this album on Spotify?
I think this man is the best Genesis singer, yes i like this album more than their others, and his grave voice fits their music much better let's be honest...
I love this one very much, thanx alot
Top notch band. I wish they came to the USA but I think they over-extended themselves by booking places too large. Too many fair-weather fans needed to fill the big joints.
Para mi me trae MUCHOS y BUENOS RECUERDOS ❤😢
This is the most underrated Album of Genesis, done by the most underestimated Members of Genesis. But in my opinion it's by far the best album of the entire "Post-Hackett-Post-Gabriel" Era, they did. Banks delivers a warm and dense soundcarpet with an incredible chord progression, while Rutherford wears the entire piece on his guitar. Sure, he is not a van Halen or Joe Satriani, even no Hackett. But he plays a warm, soft and melodic guitar which show his talents as a composer. And Wilson was a big luck for them to find, I feel sorry for him being treated so badly by them. He sings with passion and joy. So why people hate this album? Because only two remainers can't form the band? What a joke - look at the Uriah Heep lineups. I like this album, it should be recognized better.
Sorry, no, the album was garbage. No Collins, no Genesis. End of story.
@@dexterdog62 Thats Bullshit.
@@LaurinaHawks what’s bullshit is Banks and Rutherford thinking that the post Collins era of Genesis would have any appeal at all. Without Phil’s distinctive voice it’s a no win proposition. They wouldn’t even allow Chester Thompson to be a full time member of the band! Calling All Stations may have been looked upon as a decent effort if it wasn’t called a Genesis album. It’s obvious without Phil the allure and drawing power of the band diminished to embarrassingly low numbers.
@@dexterdog62 I don't know where you get this disgusting Phil Collins addiction from, but I can tell you that there are a lot of fans who can imagine Genesis without Collins very well. After all, the best albums were made without him - without him as a singer. Back then it was a certain Peter Gabriel, if you can remember that. Even then it was said that without Gabriel the band would no longer be Genesis, which was true to some extent, but at least Steve Hackett was still there, still keeping the prog flame high. But with Collins, Genesis became a mainstream band - without him and his influence, they would have had a chance at greatness again, they just had to hang in there. The album is musically far better than the last albums before. And anyone who says otherwise doesn't understand music.
This is awsome, really great perfomance and like the old Genesis, not so commercial like Phil was in his last songs.
Banks is a Genius!!
@sean3415 Very thoughtful that. Indeed, Tony Smith did say that Phil Mike and Tony worked like a machine, and Phil's part was pulling Mike and Tony's ideas together. Still, I really enjoy the Calling all Stations album.
great

Prague/Czech Republic - 02/02/1998
"CALLING ALL STATIONS" - GENESIS 1997
Live tour mondiale 1998 il 31 gennaio 1998 Roma
Pala-Sport dell' EUR - noi c'eravamo.... IO...C'ERO....
la 1^ volta i Genesis senza Phil Collins alla voce con
Ray Wilson - Tony Banks - Mike Rotherford
COME E' GRADEVOLE ASCOLTARE... un ritmo musicale che si base all'inverso, in contro tendenza....bello.... ...in progressione.....fino all'apice... Quel non andare in tendenza…?? ...la bellezza della canzone, magnifica, sta proprio lì...spezza le onde della continuità... come un ritorno indietro e poi ripartire... con...quella modulazione della chitarra elettrica... ....che progressione nelle melodie... interminabili....
Ray Wilson...una voce Rock, una bellissima voce....
...la progressione....di quella voce rauca di Ray, continuativa e con quell'andare lontano, nell'infinito....la chitarra elettrica di Mike, domina lo scenario, una cicala "limare" il suono denso di onde ripetitive che sfuggono e si rincorrono nella progressione...senza pause..., la continuità prerompente della batteria, in due tempi, uno martellante e l'altro morbido..., alla batteria prima volta del giovanissimo batterista 21enne egiziano, prescelto della band...per sostituire Phil Collins... (quella progressione nella parte finale sempre più veloce…)
Amazing
Grandi
Why Genesis let him go God only knows..the best vocals they've ever had..
i'm starting to wonder if Phil had anything to do with it.
I also felt that this era of the band deserved better. Calling All Stations was a much more consistent album that We Can't Dance (which had some great stuff, but some really stinkers as well). This is one of the better songs, along with Shipwrecked, which should have been their mega-single.
I would have paid any amount of money to see this lineup in the US.
❤️🔥🤟💯👍😎
I would've paid anything to be at this concert. Can't people accept change???? For me there have been 3 wonderful and completely 3 Genesis groups or eras: 1) Peter's, 2) Phil''s and 3) Edgy and dark Ray and Mike Rutherford. What went wrong? They simply evolved. Love both these artists!
I absolutely agree with you.
drum ok and perfect very machine
Calling All Stations a me piace molto... li ho visti a a Roma.....??? Al Palasport dell' Eur..... penso il 31 gennaio 1998
@bakinchoy That is a fact and I totally agree. I saw The Musical Box perform in Milwaukee last night. At times I had to remind myself that it was not Genesis. They were that good. Peace.
