The earlier drummers Chris Stewart and John Silver don't make an appearance – unfortunately, John Mayhew couldn't be interviewed anymore, of course. The shit storm after the “exciting news”, the production of a documentary like this and how the situation was handled as a whole unfortunately only mean four things: the band won't do anything together anymore.

However, at the end of the Gabriel era the interview scenes in that group configuration are few and far between – and even worse, it feels like Hackett was often cut out of the picture on purpose. The impression that Phil's arrival changed the band immediately and may have been more decisive than Steve's is illustrated quite clearly and definitely understandable – Steve's influence was much more subtle and slower while Phil's drumming had an immediate impact on the band.

Of course, the average consumer won't notice any of this, but does that justify painting a completely distorted picture of the band? Booklets are not the standard with DVDs and Blu-rays (for example Three Sides Live doesn't have one), but the contents seem more than a little strange here – almost like Satire. There are a few others who are just as excessively featured as Kate: Mark Billingham is a novelist and even though the reason for him being involved isn't exactly obvious, he often manages to hit the nail right on the head. It tells of the band s formation at Charterhouse (where Tony Banks, Peter Gabriel and Mike Rutherford were all pupils) in the late sixties and the release of their debut album From Genesis To Revelation .

Invisible Touch is given far too much time, but the band also seems to be very focused on the success here.Featuring contributions from key members past and present: Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett, Mike Rutherford and Anthony Phillips, as well as a wealth of archive performance footage of the band’s biggest tracks and fan favourites, this first authorised study of the band’s history commences with their formation at Charterhouse in 1967 and reunites the band for the first time in many years. While Gabriel's exit was accompanied by a short side trip into his solo career up until about 1980, Steve's solo works haven't been brought up at all apart from his explanation for his first album – even though he had been the first to release a solo album back then. He stated: "All of the group's serpentine twists and turns were dutifully recorded in this 90-minute documentary", but he concluded: "It's an awesome tale in its way, yet the endless list of hit records and enormous tours eventually became tedious, and somehow Genesis managed to remain untouched by all the history going on around them. There's still barely any Steve in the documentary's 80s while Tony Banks is featured with a lot of quite poor songs.

Genesis: Together and Apart is a 2014 documentary about the English rock band Genesis and its members' solo projects. However, it starts with the most current images from the 2007 tour, features a few statements (the misspelling of Daryl Stuermer as 'Steurmer' is already striking) and then takes a step back – to the Charterhouse.

Broadcast by the BBC as Together And Apart, Sum Of The Parts is the official authorised story of Genesis made with the full co-operation of the band members. Ranjit, a farmer in India, takes on the fight of his life when he demands justice for his 13-year-old daughter, the victim of a brutal gang rape.

First, the 'exciting news' turned out to be a new compilation without any new material – including the solo songs was the only new aspect. We only get to hear Your Own Special Way very briefly, without the usual presentation of the cover along with some data (date of release, rank in the charts).The documentary also shows here how important these entirely different characters were for the band. However, Ed Goodgold, the first North America tour promoter, who had never been featured in a documentary before, is quite an interesting choice. Other important protagonists were left out as well: Armando Gallo, Paul Whitehead, who designed the band's first album covers, John Burns and David Hentschel, who influenced the band's early sound.
