The Revelation Station

Gary & Simon · revelationstationpodcast.com

Genesis released their first single 50 years ago! 50 years! So to celebrate Simon made his friend Gary listen to all the Genesis albums in order and then review them in the local pub, commonly known as The Revelation Station. What will Gary think? Will they stay friends? Is the beer here any good? The answer to these questions will probably be revealed.

Their Flight Is Terminal. Their Landing Optional. Buckle up for a high-altitude comedy of errors where the safety announcement is the least of your concerns. When Gary and Simon board a bargain flight to Los Angeles, they quickly realize they are the only real people on a plane chartered by a rowdy convention of celebrity impersonators. The journey takes a terrifyingly hilarious turn when an unexpected crisis leaves the cockpit empty and the bing-bong machine broken. With the cockpit door locked and the mature aircraft beginning its descent, Gary, armed with 1,500 hours of flight simulator exp

8mo ago · 41:30
New Universe. New Iceland. Same Old Chaos. After narrowly escaping the total destruction of their own reality, multiversal refugees Simon and Gary are looking for a little holiday R&R. Simon thinks he’s found the perfect hideaway: a remote, luxury spa retreat in the frozen wilds of Iceland. It’s supposed to be four days of peace, quiet, and getting away from it all. But the locals aren’t the only ones watching them. When ancient Icelandic folklore crashes into their "borrowed" lives, the duo finds themselves hunted by the thirteen Yule Lads, mischievous trolls with a taste for more than just S

There are some links below to things I mentioned in the episode, hope you enjoy them.My unboxing videoThe Lamb review part

Jukebox Episode 25: Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End
1y ago · 15:27
Welcome back to The Revelation Station Jukebox!In this episode I’ll be having a listen to a cover of The Beatles classic Golden Slumbers…(and the rest) which is taken from the classic early 90’s documentary “Pumpin Iron” narrated by the actor Phil Collins.The film was a smash hit, and followed a series of bodybuilders as they aimed to become Mr Universe. As well as the narration, Phil also provided this song which played out over the closing credits. I won’t spoil the ending of the film for you but needless to say it was a nail-biting final act!Thanks for listening to this episode. If you’ve e

Greeting Stationeers!Welcome back to the Jukebox. In this episode I’ll be listening to a cover of King Crimson singer Elton John’s 1970 hit single Burn Down The Mission.You probably know that Elton John joined Crimson for their second album In The Wake Of Poseidon, following the departure of Greg Lake. His songwriting skills, coupled with the genius of guitarists Robert Fripp and later Steven Hackett, propelled Crimson into the all conquering stadium act they became. When they split in 1980 Elton went on to even greater solo succes, until finally retiring in 2023 following the conclusion of hi

Hello again Stationeers!Welcome to another Jukebox episode. In this episode I’ll be having a listen to the song True Colours, by the female singer who took on the biggest shoes in the prog business - replacing Ray Wilson as the lead singer of Genesis in 2008!Before that she was quite well known as a solo artist and this song was her second USA number one, way back in 1986.I’ll also be digging into a little known cover version by the actor Phil Collins, taken from the soundtrack to “Brinks” in which he plays Anthony Black, the inside man for the Brinks Mat Robbery. I’m sure you’ve seen it, it w

Hello there Stationeers!Welcome back to another track from The Revelation Station Jukebox. This one came in just under the wire for Patrons, celebrating Ray Wilson’s birth month of September. For everyone else (that’s you) it’s just after. What can I say? You should deffo subscribe.Anyway, celebrating Ray Wilson on the eve of Genesis releasing their 25th album, Stuttering Stars, which of course is their 11th to feature the Scots singer. For this episode I thought I’d go back to Ray’s beginnings, before he took Genesis on to even greater success than they managed with previous singers Phil Coll
