Genesis

To sum up the life and work of British artist Genesis Breyer P-Orridge is close to impossible. Not only because of the wide range of artistic disciplines, but also because of the timespan, since the mid 1960s to the present day, that has been saturated by hundreds of records, thousands of concerts, exhibitions, interviews, videos, spoken word performances, collages, sculptures, philosophy, cultural engineering, occultism and radical transgender concepts. A couple of descriptions are still valid after these 50 years of active creativity and provocation. P-Orridge is a romantic existentialist and a cultural engineer. Everything is both work as such and seed for cultural and behavioural change.

Genesis’s self-titled 1983 album, often known as the Mama album, showcases the band’s shift toward a sharper, more modern sound with a blend of rock, pop, and synthesizer-driven styles. In 5.1 surround sound, this album becomes an electrifying experience, with the dark, brooding atmosphere of tracks like Mama and the dynamic energy of That's All fully enveloping the listener. The surround mix emphasizes the interplay between Phil Collins' emotive vocals, Tony Banks' layered keyboards, and Mike Rutherford's rhythmic guitar and bass work. This immersive presentation lets fans experience Genesis with renewed intensity, highlighting the album's depth and the band’s evolving sound.

Set in the future, a giant fighting machine called the Aquarion is humanity's only effective weapon in the fight against the technologically advanced species called the Shadow Angels.
