Genesis

Genesis is the twelfth eponymous album by the pop rock group Genesis and is their twelfth studio album. To avoid confusion with its title, most of the followers of the group refer to this album as “Shapes” for the geometric shapes of its cover, or simply as “Mama”, the name of the first song of the album. The album is called Genesis because the three members of the group composed all the songs collectively, in the same way they worked in the past, before the departure of Peter Gabriel from the band and not individually as in their previous works . This method would be repeated in the following albums of the group.
The album was the first written and recorded completely in their studio called The Farm.

The recording & production of this album was documented in 1983 by drummer & vocalist: Phil Collins. It wasn’t released until 2007 during the release of the 1976-1982 and 1983-1998 boxsets, titled “The Making of the ‘Mama’ Album”.
