...Calling All Stations... is the fifteenth album by veteran progressive <br />
rockband Genesis and was released in 1997. Recorded following Phil Collins' <br />
departure from the band in 1996, it was an attempt by bandmates Mike <br />
Rutherford and Tony Banks to continue the Genesis moniker while returning, <br />
to a certain degree, to Genesis' roots as an album-oriented band. <br />
<br />
Vocalist Ray Wilson, who had fronted a brief but popular grunge-influenced <br />
outfit called Stiltskin, was brought on board after a lengthy auditioning <br />
period. Wilson's darker vocals were more reminiscent of Peter Gabriel than <br />
Collins. Because Wilson was not a drummer, both Nir Zidkyahu and Nick <br />
D'Virgilio (Spock's Beard) were called in to supply the necessary percussion <br />
work. <br />
<br />
But while ...Calling All Stations... sold well throughout Europe, it failed to find <br />
an audience in the United States, despite an elaborate publicity launch at <br />
Cape Canaveral in Florida. Critics were derisive, and while ...Calling All <br />
Stations... was notable for attempting to bring Genesis' progressive rock <br />
roots more to the forefront, many found the results somber and lacking the <br />
dynamics of their 1970s work, let alone the fact pop and hip hop were in <br />
vogue at the time—genres far removed from progressive rock. As a result of <br />
the slim North American sales, the American leg of the tour was cancelled. <br />
Although a European tour was undertaken in 1998, Banks and Rutherford <br />
ultimately decided to relieve Wilson of his vocal duties and put Genesis on an <br />
extended hiatus, leaving ...Calling All Stations... as Genesis' last studio <br />
release to date. <br />
<br />
Since the album's release there has been, among some Genesis fans, a <br />
belated appreciation for Wilson's contribution to the band's history. There is <br />
agreement even among many fans who dislike this album that Wilson was a <br />
strong vocalist. Bootleg recordings of the 1998 European tour have been <br />
sought-after downloads on peer-to-peer networks, if only for the opportunity <br />
to hear Wilson's rendition of older Genesis songs like "The Lamb Lies Down on <br />
Broadway," "The Carpet Crawlers," and "Lover's Leap" (the opening section <br />
of "Supper's Ready"). <br />
<br />
Of the three singles excerpted from the album, only "Congo" met with a <br />
limited measure of success. <br />
<br />
Music videos were made for "Congo", "Shipwrecked" and "Not About Us." <br />
"Congo" was a favourite among MTV UK, however, it had been played on <br />
America's MTV once. <br />
<br />
The music videos "Congo" and "Shipwrecked" featured Wilson and also <br />
Rutherford, Banks and Zidkyahu playing their respective instruments. "Not <br />
About Us," however featured just Banks, Rutherford and Wilson. Unlike <br />
"Congo" and "Shipwrecked", Banks and Rutherford were without the <br />
instruments. <br />
<br />
...Calling All Stations..., which reached #2 in the UK, and was the only <br />
Genesis album to have been deleted in North America (until its 2007 <br />
re-release), having only reached #54 in the US in a brief chart stay. From a <br />
recent online interview, Calling All Stations has sold approximately 3 million <br />
copies world-wide to date (between 1997-2008).
