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.

Interestingly enough, there's an interview with the band's first promoter in the US, but the images from New York are current and not from the 70s – since it says “New York 1972” this seems quite unprofessional.

Because in the end, absolutely nothing official will be done for the 40th anniversary of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, possibly the most ambitious work in Genesis' history.

BONUS FEATURE: Over 30 minutes of additional interviews with the band members that were not included in the broadcast version. There is an interesting side trip, regarding the development of Collins's drum sound on Peter Gabriel's 3rd album.

Chris Welch and Armando Gallo weren't chosen, but the criteria for selecting the other participants seem quite random. 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.

Internal disputes that used to be mere speculation were revealed beyond doubt and visible for everyone in the documentary. Intensely driven, he overcame personal and professional challenges to secure his place amongst the greatest vocalists in history. The documentary also shows here how important these entirely different characters were for the band.

Over the course of the documentary, it's increasingly clear that 4-5 of the interviewees and experts are featured strikingly often.Following its broadcast, guitarist Steve Hackett expressed his displeasure, describing the documentary as a "biased account of Genesis history" that "totally ignores" his solo work.

Peter Gabriel gives us the weirdest scene by standing up in the middle of a question to take a cup of ginger tea that was brought to him even though he had asked for coffee. However, hardly anyone had heard anything about her in connection with Genesis prior to Sum Of The Parts. 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. Peter Gabriel’s departure in 1975 and then Steve Hackett’s in 1977 led to the release of the album “And Then There Were Three…” and a move towards shorter, more immediate songs.Along with R-Kive and the re-release of Three Sides Live, the BBC documentary will also be released on DVD and Blu-ray under the title Sum Of The Parts in November 2014. The management doesn't understand a thing about the dynamics on the internet and the band apparently doesn't care about their fans.
