Wind & Wuthering followed quickly on the heels of A Trick of the Tail and they're very much cut from the same cloth, working the same English eccentric ground that was the group's stock in trade since Trespass. But if A Trick of the Tail played like Genesis' attempt at crafting a great Genesis record without Peter Gabriel, as a way of finding their footing as a quartet, Wind & Wuthering finds Genesis tentatively figuring out what their identity will be in this new phase of their career. The most obvious indication of this is Mike Rutherford's "Your Own Special Way," which is both the poppiest tune the group had cut and also the first that could qualify as a love song. It stands out on a record that is, apart from that, a standard Genesis record, but quite a good one in that regard. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Peter Gabriel was such a charismatic frontman and unique singer/lyricist that many assumed Genesis would fold after his departure. WIND & WUTHERING proved that there was much to the group than just Gabriel's talents. Drummer Phil Collins, who'd sung a couple of songs on previous albums, had taken over lead vocal duties on the previous A TRICK OF THE TAIL, with surprisingly successful results. His voice wasn't as edgy as Gabriel's, but was a bit more palatable to mass audiences, and the group's popularity continued to grow. Many of the songs here pick up musically where LAMB and TRICK OF THE TAIL left off, with sharply focused tunes that show off the group's prog-rock chops without getting too bombastic.
There are some new developments as well. The instrumental "Wot Gorilla?" is a tasty, fusion-tinged piece that bears echoes of Collins' work with jazz-rockers Brand X. This song and others show Tony Banks's increased use of synthesizer. The most precipitous change is the introduction of a commercial ballad sensibility with the light, romantic "Your Own Special Way." This tune marked a direction Collins would explore further with Genesis in the years to come.Mojo (Publisher) (3/01, p.82) - "...Another tentative nod towards radio play I same with Rutherford's 'Your Own Special Way'....hearkening back to FOXTROT-era complexities..." Genesis Wind & Wuthering Songs Wind & Wuthering Music Review Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Masterpiece two of 1976...
While Trick of the Tail was the album that not only showcased Phil Collins as the new front man for the band it also was the beginning of five years of the bands best material...Wind and Wuthering was their second album released in 1976 and quite simply may be their best.
From start to finish, the writing, the sound, the depth of music, the ballads the vocals and the haunting sound of Steve Hackett's last performance are chilling and beyond memorable. For anyone curious about what Genesis was about or what "Art Rock" was all about....this is the one album of only a few you would need to point to.
Not only Genesis' best, but one of the best AOR albums ever produced.
Enjoy it!

 Farewell to Genesis progressive rock!
This is the first album I heard from Genesis. I asked myself: Is this true? How can they play so well and how can they achieve these complex arrangements and such a perfect sound? In my opinion the best songs are "Blood On The Rooftops" (with a beautiful Spanish guitar intro), the commercial "Your Own Special Way" and of course "Afterglow” (with that crescendo sound): one of my favorites. "Wind & Wuthering" is the most skillful guitar-playing album from the band and there aren’t any bad songs!

Precusor to "Please Don't Touch"
Steve Hackett's 1978 Please Don't Touch album clearly picks up where Wind and Wuthering left off. In fact, the song "Please Don't Touch" was submitted to be on Wind and Wuthering and got replaced with Wot Gorilla. Sadly, the remaining 3 remaining members of Genesis destroyed their own standard sound that Steve Hackett spent 11 years helping them make.

A great, harrowing album. It shows the beginnings of the magic on "...And Then There Three..."
Fans of that album will find there home in this.

After Steve Hackett quit Genesis in 1977, the band(and were offically broke up) broke up and did solo albums(A Curious Feeling, Smallcreep's Day, Brand X: Product). In 1980 the reformed as the joke of a pop as we know it. The name stayed but the music that defined
Genesis didn't

Purchase Wind & Wuthering CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Genesis Nursery Cryme CD (1971)
Wind & Wuthering
 $12.79    
Genesis: Peter Gabriel (vocals, flute, bass drum, tambourine); Steve Hackett (electric guitar, 12-string guitar); Tony Banks (12-string guitar, piano, electric piano, organ, Mellotron); Mike Rutherford (12-string guitar, bass instrument); Phil Collins (drums, percussion).
If Genesis truly established themselves as progressive rockers on Trespass, Nursery Cryme is where their signature persona was unveiled: true English eccentrics, one part Lewis Carroll and one part Syd Barrett, creating a fanciful world that emphasized the band's instrumental prowess as much as Peter Gabriel's theatricality. Which isn't to say that all of Nursery Cryme works. There are times when the whimsy is overwhelming, just as there are periods ...

Wind & Wuthering
$19.79
If one had to pare the prog-rock story down to a handful ofessential albums, this would undoubtedly be one of them. SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND was the culmination of all that Genesis had been striving for since their late-'60s inception, the refinement of the vision that developed on TRESPASS, NURSERY CRYME, and FOXTROT (somewhere in the world, there's been a second-wave prog outfit named after every one of thesealbums). The fusion of a complex classical mind with an electrified rock heart and pastoral folk spirit defined Genesis' anatomy, and never more effectively than on SELLING ENGLAND. Peter Gabriel's startlingly unpretentious tale-spinning is at its best on "The Battle of Epping Forest". Tony Banks's elegant, sophisticated keyboard ...

Wind & Wuthering
$13.99
Listening to Laura Veirs is like looking up into the night sky and suddenly witnessing a meteor shower: there's something startling and magical, both intimate and awesome, about her songs. The nature-obsessed images Veirs conjures up and the mesmerizing sound she creates are as indelible as the blaze of shooting stars. "Saltbreakers", her third album release in three years, is her most beautifully realized band-oriented disc yet. Produced by Tucker Martine (the Decemberists, Built To Spill), it is by turns haunting, playful, tender and fierce, embracing everything from machine-driven beats (the single 'Don't Lose Yourself') to angelic gospel choirs ('To The Country') to fuzzed-out guitars and driving alt-rock rhythms ('Phantom Mountain').
Personnel: Laura Veirs (vocals, guitar); Karl Blam (vocals, guitar, saxophone, keyboards); Steve Moore (vocals, euphonium, piano, keyboards, bells); Tucker Martine (vocals, drums, percussion); Sarah Peasall, Todd Dixon, Cedar Hill Choir, Ericka Chambers, Ashley Mofield, Michael Peasall, Laurie Adams-Klein, Billy Blackwood, Sarah ...
