30 years of Dusk
On March 16, 1991, issue zero of a glorious fanzine (later transformed into a glossy magazine) was closed in the virtual editorial office of Dusk, which, unique in the world, still stands today in printed form.

Genesis. Gli anni Prog 1969-1975 di Mario Giammetti
New book by Italian
writer Mario Giammetti dealing with the progressive
era of Genesis (1969 - 1975). The studio albums of
that period (from From Genesis To Revelation to The
Lamb Lies Down On Broadway) are critically analysed
with the fundamental input of all band members,
interviewed by Giammetti himself and British
journalist Mike Kaufmann. Mario, in particular,
listened to of all the albums together with some of
the protagonists: Tony Banks (who also wrote the
interesting foreward), Steve Hackett and Anthony
Phillips all kindly dedicated their time to comment,
minute by minute, the music, something which makes
this volume really different. Although the book (240
colour pages with a lavish layout) is written in
Italian, it is still worthy for Genesis fans worldwide,
thanks to loads of rare and unseen before photos, as
well as ticket stubs and other memorabilia. Plus, it
features an updated and accurate list of all the gigs
of the Genesis tours, compiled with the help of
American collector George German.
