Listened through the R-2R DAC using Tidal Connect (via Volumio) - sounded great and very large scale.

This is the first and the best. Forget the later LPs where they shortened their name to 'Chicago' and went MOR. 'Free Form Guitar' on this LP is the equal of Hendrix.

Phil Collins having left the band, leaving Banks and Rutherford, was replaced on vocals by Ray Wilson(ex Stiltskin), drumming mainly done by Nir Zidkyahu(ex Stiltskin).
To the album, the songs are actually pretty good, "Calling All Stations" is reminiscent of having a later Pink Floyd feel to it, with soaring guitar solo. Some have a 'Mike and the Mechanics' feel, which you might expect, "If that's what you need" has a 'Wind and Whispering feel, with sweeping keyboards from Banks with an underlying muted rhythm guitar. Ray Wilson does a very good job vocally, with a great range and distinctive voice on the whole album. I would say all the tracks are expertly crafted, recorded and produced, I presume Genesis and the recording company may think so as well having gone to the trouble to re-release with 1/2 speed mastering at Abbey Road. 'The Dividing Line" has a very tight instrumental instrumental, the vocal is well up there, a very strong track, more typical of a driving Genesis number that could have become a mainstay. "Uncertain Weather" has a "Watcher in the Skies" aspect to it, in a very good way, it has some very low pounding bass pedal lines from Mr Banks.
So IMHO if you like Genesis and can accept it without Gabriel or Collins crooning then it is actually pretty good, it was a shame that some of the fanbase left them at the time, maybe because Mr Collins had become such a powerful force in the act and on his own he overshadowed the group.

A classic, sadly often overlooked by many, well worth a listen. They are often sited as Psychedelic Rock/Prog Rock but I think the breadth of their compositions go beyond these limits and IMHO ventures into aspects of Jazz.

First album I ever bought, and played it to death. Bought it again about 5 years ago, and I was surprised to find it still sounds great.Quote:

It was a dreadful time in pop/rock! With the exception of Bowie and of Roxy Music, all the glam rock bands of the '70s were complete and utter crap: The Sweet, Garry Glitter, etc, as well as the above cited performer.Quote:

So whether you liked the glam era or not it did spawn some Very successful artists some of which are still with us today.
