Thread: Genesis Lamb Book

  1. #1

    Genesis Lamb Book

    Just stumbled on this thing:

    http://stereo33books.com/genesis-lam...page-previews/

    Will probably cost a fair bit, but looks fascinating. I wonder when if / it is due for release?

    Hope it's a little more digestible than this one on Amazon... Not for the faint (or hairless) hearted...

    Interesting! I may just have to pick up on that.

    As for the other one, that appears to be the book version of The Annotated Lamb, which had been floating about on the net for quite a few years in various formats. I think I used to have the html version! Yes, it's extremely detailed, but that should come as no surprise having been written by Dr. Kevin Holm-Hudson, assistant professor of theory in the School of Music at the University of Kentucky. I found the parts that I read to be utterly fascinating.

    I'm getting this one---I think a reunion tour of The Lamb should coincide with the release of the book.

    That ad is nearly 2 years old. And the most recent comment regarding the release is nearly a year ago. Not sure if the book will ever see the light of day. Much like a reunion.

    The review seems short on detail, but my impresswion is that it's tour souvenir coffee-table book.

    The other onem however, (via Ashgate) looks interesting, and I may just give in to temptation on that. Every time I cone back to this album it seems to have something more to give, whether it's in the music, lyrics I had not assimilated before, or aspects of the artwork.
