 Amazing! June 2, 2010

This is an amazing "soundscape" CD of Genesis music circa 1976. The compositions are unfailingly rich and memorable; the playing is precise and tight; and the vocals are emotive and complex. For fans of early-to-mid Genesis, this one is a no-brainer.
Great Genesis tribute May 31, 2010

Ditto to all the other reviews here. A strong (read: obsessive)concentration on the melodies, instrumentation, vocals, and arrangements of the slow to mid-tempo Genesis "Trick of the Tail" to "..And then there were three". Don't expect "Dance on a Volcano" or other aggressive Genesis. Some of these tracks could have been extra tracks on the Genesis box sets (maybe even better than the inspirational source material). The drums seem programmed (a downside), but like everything else these guys studied Phil extremely well. I've not heard anyone channel this prog spirit as well as these gentlemen. If you know what you like :), and know what you'll get, this is great fun.

This review is being written by a HUGE Genesis fan. Gabriel's Genesis was m y favorite period , followed by the Phil Collins vocal-led period up to "Duke" , after that they turned into a different band.
With all of that being said , "Unifaun" is the album that Genesis could have , but didn't make.
Obviously this recording is a tribute to Genesis. It is NOT , however , a copy of Genesis. The music and vocals fall remarkably close to the "Wind And Wuthering" "Trick Of The Tail" era of Genesis. At several times in listening to this recording , I forgot it wasn't Genesis.
NO GENESIS FAN SHOULD BE WITHOUT THIS RECORDING !!!! Here's hoping Unifaun have another one in them.

This is, quite simply, one of my favorite albums of the last 10 years. Yes, the sonic allusions to '74-'77 Genesis are at times as subtle as a sledgehammer (Requisite Mellotron choirs, ARP Soloist sounds, 'A Way Out' = 'Carpet Crawlers', complete with 16th note RMI piano figure, etc.) but the material is well-written, beautifully arranged and wonderfully played & produced. More importantly, there is a MAGIC in this music that you don't often hear these days - some of the instrumental passages are just sublime. It is interesting to me that my 12 year-old son, probably in view of the artistic paucity of the material popular with his own generation, has really taken to this album. It seems that true musical craftsmanship never goes out of style, no matter which decade it 'refers' to.
Bravo! Can't wait for the 2nd album....
 Good but just not all that April 30, 2009

This is a good cd but disappointing,i give it 3 stars for the attempt.Most Definetly not what i expected,the guys had a good idea but it falls way short of what people are calling a classic Genesis album never made,,has no power or punch,all songs sound the same.It an ok cd but for true Genesis fans such as myself i have to say dont get overexcited by other reviews giving it 5 stars.I saw Genesis 8 times from 1976 thru 87 and this cd just doesnt come close to the magic and power of the real Genesis.The last song is by far the best on this cd.
