(News4Press.com) � � �Worum is in life berhaupt � �? � � � this question Maximilianstra�e at the beginning of the movie. He breaks from M� � nchen from that awarded for the adventure of his life. His goal is the end of the world from its own efforts to achieve on his bicycle. They are protected tzte � 18,000 kilometers to Singapore by 12 L� � nder. Untrained, with about 50kg Gepa � ck, and a video camera, he is on his way. The resulting films entrepreneurial diary shows a man who does not M� � HEN afraid to get a dream Erfa � llen. The dream of absolute freedom and the discovery of unknown cultures. All this makes Maximilianstra�e deliberately in his own pace, because of the slow sees more. F� � r him it was not just the athletic challenge but also the attraction more about himself to know. With no other means can be deeper insights into a country and its people, like on the bike. The film also shows how Maximilianstra�e � � ber months k� � effort rperlicher altered. When he reached his goal, he had about seven kilos removed.

Besides the very Personal insight, the film is peppered with spectacular � ren landscape and außergew� � similar bike shots, allowing the viewer � reduced compared to the adventure part of it.

�� We love all the evidence, that apparent when the come to mind the saying entf� leads �:? It is true.? This always takes place in the text instead, or as text and has little contact with the eyes to do, how at first glance I could k� �. So heißt it, daß nothing is as it seems. Daß Nothingness does not appear, it is selbstevident, because if something seems, it's a little. This is nothing but the absence of everything, those big dark, the schwa � rzer nor as black. The only exception to this sentence is the sun, because it is nothing if it is not shining, and everything if it does it. This may thus have to do it daß times in premature gray Ur notes were just a sun as its own, and everything else slips daß still it is derived. But I'm not white, I have so Approximately hr only fr� � her reads.
�� The sentence, however, beyond all the nonsense yet a deeper sense of nothingness except llig � v� l� � sst before. He says na � mlich, daß until something seems, it still is not, na � mlich, what it is, but just only what it seems. If we object to the subject of walking, the heißt, daß behind it, things should look, or, once issued, to what we see, not the zuzutrauen, daß it is what it is. If you do once, then the sun is not flat, that seems but a red fire ball that emits b� � se. Then the moon is no longer good, so quiet, but a cold W� � ste stone and dust.

�� All this is a quote from the diary, which had created Bernd Niemann, when he started his solace in writing and in search of alcohol. His letter was from the outset, philosophically, the heißt actually unusable, and the alcohol got the role, he dara � � ber hinwegzutr� costs. Every few days he saß evening in the 'Old R� � mer' behind the fireplace, invisible for all the front saßen and paraded past him, if they had to the toilet. There, he suggested to his diary and wrote. If he was drunk enough, and that was f� � r it is not a question of quantity of alcohol, but the attitude, then he continued his expensive F� � llfederhalter and started for example: The way to fame. Then he sat beda � chtig behind a question mark, held a moment and then wrote: The detours for rum Then he could imagine many dara � ber write his daß � � ber of the tea was another daß � � ber heißes ran water and sugar, and then gave it does not hold anymore. When the daughter of the landlady at home and passed him, touched his eyes they are sympathetic and he went to another via text, re-inspired.

�� Nobody was allowed to look in his diary that he h� � ing it as his full chance whiskey � ser. His records sounded so apparently, it daß Dafa � r h� � tte lock can be activated. Whenever it's morning and midday � � vast without alcohol had done, was the point at which its synapses began to click and hold no longer was. Where the other T� � activity of the brain that everything Useful bring what the day succeed l� � sst, � � bersprang it with him the intermediate stages of the brain to stick around and floated free in the space of only evident: He then explored the secret messages, the glory of the f� � hren rum and no more back. He looked then, others would � ren are desperate for meaning where he formulated after he has lost. He sought not in the hope to find something that he just wanted to escape that nothing that is served every morning aufmachte him until the evening catch. As I write, I am, spa � rte he, and he wrote that as more � � fter the freest associations inside and pulled out so it turned out, what else was there.

�� Bernd is my only good friend and this is also my best friend. I am also the only one of him now when writing about the shoulders must watch. What unites us is what we are missing, and that is why we write for both. Here we are trying in various ways to create order and therefore can write texts we also compare them. What makes us different is daß I still drink less alcohol than he does. That do I, but only in that I do not keep him with me.

�� I bring my � � brige person solely in such Execution � hrlichkeit here in this text, because I l� � NGST is constantly appear, as a main character. Once I have the steep path of thoughtfulness without sufficient evidence in accordance � BeA UGEN Nina and the finger-package that was hochgestiegen viewpoint from which I'll � � berblickte what Sch� � ne hergab prospect, you simply state it is around the temple on the Neroberg I see myself facts � chlich then down in the big city from the bus and the few steps up to the Dotzheimer 'Old R� � mer' go. The winter had brought bright sunshine, but now it was really slow cold. Fr� � � � stelnd I opened the door to the local r, begr� � ßte the landlord and his wife, even with the extended arm pointed to the rear, behind the fireplace:? He is already there and writes? as always.? The landlord begr� � ßte with me? A Steinm� � cher!? and I replied as witty as I could:? Always one after the other.? I am a language and I � chemacher the white, but I almost always get at least a friendly response.

�� Bernd remained seated and wrote with more rights, whereas his left zuwinkte me. I waited until he was finished and then my wine was already there, and we stießen to each other. ? On the night side of life?, He toasts me, and I replied,? And on their Sch� � nen Augen.? We grinned at us. It was a ritual. The first glass, he gave something before, and I had to parry, and the second I was on it. When one of us for the first time, repeated the other asked, I no longer white, who it was, we daß never twice the same say d� � rften. These were the things that our friendship fortified, the ritual and familiarity in the unspoken.

�� But as this story, as I am inclined, they have to identify forms that threaten auszuufern, I would like for all untidiness but Next systemise something. The worst-B� � cher, I find, are Schreibtischb� � cher, which are generally one in the chapters too long. Then there is Sesselb� � cher, in which the chapters already be l� � nger d� � rfen. The l� � ngsten cope with it in bed, especially if you're alone, like so many. About Badewannenb� � cher l� � sst is difficult, because I remain especially in winter times like a lesson in the tub, whereas in summer I prefer the shower, and Duschb� � cher prohibit Itself My book should be, so I had been determined (I write it like everything always post factum) a Klobuch, and a chapter about likely d� � l� � nger never be an extended meeting time. Since the chapters are too short but ließe, I have here on Chapter dispositions waived. This is just to declare � rung f� � r fr� � her already said.

�� Bernd and I were a bar acquaintance, and we visited us grunds� � useful never at home. We did not even take a walk together or go to the cinema or what non-gay men M� � otherwise in such a way you can drive. This was tremendously strengthened our friendship, we just do not put them in danger. When I was around, BeWa � leads up to my yesterday's visit to the Christmas market. We could of course also no one in this pub guide, what with Bernd l� � NGST was no longer a problem, he fell Dafa � r eh but nobody more. In my humble acquaintance I wanted him again do not expect them h� � tten nothing with it you can begin.

�� We therefore temples � rften Next once silently in our wine, and then lifted to Bernd:? Well, what's so?. - I go? S as good as ever.? - I unfortunately?, He gave back. Our talks that began � � � often so usually, after we first Anfa length behind us had. Bernd was always as if he's already experienced everything h� � tte, and everything would � sste and not much more � � Brig had remained. I had even a basic vocabulary to keep hope, and saw him only once a week.

�� In our first encounter in the 'Old R� � mer', as the shop was proppenvoll and I then regardless of his protests, he had it poured in Stra � draußen men, we were so short in the talks � ch came daß it right again faltered. He had set aside his diary, and someday, he had me b� � se angeguckt asking? Have you seen this movie yesterday?. -?? What?. -? Well, the, where the Michael Douglas Sharon Stone looks between his legs and she has nothing.? -? Has it really does not? I asked back. ? So - I did not exactly seen.? No problem, we only daß times not really into talks � ch came.

�� A nnergespr� M� � � ch, will you say now, and you are perhaps not the accusation put in the sound, but like a dark cloud over the suspended sentence be untouchable, like a sword of Damocles, which is self versch� � rft until reißt the thread. But of course! I will reciprocate, we should be about one Frauengespr� � ch f� � hren? This � rde I would then also not nice for you, young woman, and therefore I will have you in the future duzen.
�� chlich fact remained but then we l� � nger time on this issue, but not immediately, perhaps more with existing female pubic hair was involved, but with the f� � r some pretty lengthy sex scenes with Sharon Stone at the end not only on top, but the poor policemen still rides almost shame, whereas it looks quite healthy. The man, who with so little l� � nger time watching, and that alone, and this actress some Attraktivit� � t can not deny, from head to foot not, must constantly make a decision: Hole I make a down or watch me now so, as if my sweetheart beside me s� � Aye, that is quite civilized, and in contrast to the two that are in all public extensively �-v� � rules - or do I turn off the box from Glotz.

�� We had them both off, and no love in the process - and we still had to end the film seen. And we had then in the pub and not about the movie entertaining, but about the things he did with us. Here we came to the hundredth of thousands and were then found daß we are both in the absence of other entertainment h� � quite often films looked.

�� The week afterwards, I broke the silence after the first toast as well, automatically, by I? Marilyn Monroe? einwarf. Bernd winked at me and said then? Norma Jeane?. Then I replied, alluding to our first and most recent entertainment:? Hochflog When her skirt, he had a H� � European, which today would no longer sexy � re. Imagine, Michael Douglas h� � tte between her legs and she geguckt h� � tte so what angehabt.? ? ? Well, you say yes, you've seen nothing.? -? F� � r me it was anything between her legs just dark.? -? You see, if Fr� � ulein Stone Marilyn white covering everything between angehabt H� � h� � tte, then h� � ttest least you see something you can.? After all, we were dara � ber when? You? arrived.

�� I write in spite of the better articles, but in talks � ch I have a certain Überlegenheit Bernd concede. He had brought me there now, where I look for a change of topic search h� � tte m� � ssen or so, daß I should start now, Dara � ber to preaching, daß so many prefer to remain invisible, it can be charming daß Beha � lt But I knew even then he daß with a grin unversch� answered mten � h� � tte.

�� This time, he began again:? Charles Bronson ... You've got the DVD.? ? ? Claudia Cardinale?, I replied and looked at him erwartungsfroh. ? Oh, what?, He reacted to it. ? If he sits on the platform and the fly buzzing, it's so quiet and heiß, daß the fly is getting louder, h� � ttest you can not even feel like demn� � ChST loszuballern? ? ? Thus, we can not continue?, I fought that whereas I was a little queasy. ? But times an entirely different genre, you have the repetition of the Schr� � elephant in the round seen? ? ? Yes, and you can declare me ren why everyone says he has seen it, even though everyone else always says, daß he was not doing so.? -? So, I've been at my first viewing, because I had vessels � hl, which k� � could be interesting. I had a short time before the election results on the radio belong � rt.? -?? I do not think so, so what I did for the last time a hundred years ago, with cabbage and seen it up to repeat this ever again. I think people give it this, because Schr�der was lying down, which was worth seeing so that you later admit could be switched to.? -?? So I think rather, they are talking about dara � ber, because it was not easy to concentrate on his presentation to make a rhyme. Was he drunk? He had previously gekokst? Had his Doris him and called him, Putin daß them on behalf of the Russian people have had a child? Do you understand? -? No, I do not understand and you understand it is not.? -? Okay, so once again: Marilyn Monroe.? I will make this brief, we came very quickly to Arthur Miller, then to Norman Mailer, very briefly to Andy Warhol and Truman Capote then. Now h� � tten we loose on Holly Golightly able to come, but this did not happen more, and the hieß do not really like that. However, Audrey Hepburn hieß they are not, right?
�
�� Before you, the good readers are right, if you now argue daß our merkw� � � rdige friendship mainly chlich on film reviews and � "similar concentrated, and therefore quite � � � rmlich and Erba rmlich was, I must briefly argue daß now the two women occurred, which is equal to our table to be set. But back to your argument: Well, young woman, this is true the problem is not! We had no common acquaintances, about politics and the ruin of Germany daß pushes forward, we are not talking, Football and cars, we do not really consider hnenswert �, and what, dear Marie, would then � � Brig. Our common friend we knew from the same films, and hand on heart, they are not much more interesting, dear Sarah, and Tamara, as yours; Furthermore, they see not much better, and experience they are not much more than all the others in your apartment building? Or, dear Annette, now insist that daß is also an even more correct to give a reality? Go through the evening once the residential quarter of the cemetery behind the Henkell Palace, and look at the real life in which the windows are not yet verrammelten the blue flashes twitch, whereas inside unsuspecting the whole family sits in front of the screen, no, not the whole family, for years of nfzehnj� M� � dchen is somewhere with the girlfriend at a party, and the years of siebzehnj� boy is also underway, but at least now almost grown. And the valid zwief� � rest of the family just looks at the medium, as elsewhere, the B� � r or just off the corpse is found, or how someone is cooking with someone, everyone knows except me. With so what you can not come to me, Anna-Marie!
�� Speaking of corpses, corpses, or rather, I noticed in our entertainment increasingly clear daß my Bernd thus could not comment. At least not with my corpses, Sch� � n or not Sch� � n, what's going on here for once does not matter.

�� But we had the past I Erza � hlen yes just leave at the moment in which the two ladies to join their M� � ntel test, besides the T� � r aufhingen and then in the pub around. I take it all in any case, we could from behind the fireplace but see nothing of it.
�� ? Mr. Niemann? Then one said, as both of our tables were approached. She had a brown Kosta � m, warm fabric, which she compensates by something, daß the skirt a anst�-employed far St� � ck � � ber knees ended. She had a h� � bschen Blond Schopf, Sch� � ne large eyes and a mouth, after which they issue their issue escalated a little: A h� � bsche woman in his best years and Woma � resembled even quite nice. Then I looked to the other, and the same I liked even better: She said nothing, and seemed somewhat embarrassed l� � chelte so. It was the L� � cheln, women Sch� � n, which will l� � cheln because they have nothing to say. These are the women who still have something to offer, where I usually have nothing more simple � llt.

�� With the smaller but fuller mouth introduced himself:? Schleiz by Nina Tagblatt. And that is Susanne Meyer, my friend.? Bernd remained seated and growled:? Phil Marlowe. Very pleased. But my office hours are on Mondays except on Wednesday from nine to ZWA � lf. Sorry, Revered. And sign up in advance with my Secretary of � rin.?

�� I was l� � NGST up and stood opposite the � ber, which is called Susanne and still l� � chelte, although their L� � cheln of force had lost. ? Hello? I said to her, and l� � chelte back, I was also not different. They started a new L� � cheln, took her hand briefly in the other, the two looked so united briefly and then back at me and I noticed this new daß L� � cheln something to do with me was when h� � tte I do with my short contact are encouraged.
�� ? Mr. Niemann, you are but it is incredibly important, I must speak it.? Bernd Nina saw this briefly, then to me hera � ber, to me high, and then murmured in commanding me to? Sit down.? Susanne looked short and a little frightened him hera � ber, then back to me and I could not be more different than they anzustrahlen. They beamed back.

�� Meanwhile, had those who presented themselves as Nina had just moved past me and on my chair set. ? W� � rden please f� � r my girlfriend still get a chair?, They called me. I immediately made myself out gathered at the tables earlier two St� � HLE and brought them back. There, I brought them into the hallway below, daß hardly had a pass. There was also no different. Susanne thanked me, then sat down, verschr� � nkte her arms under her chest and tried another L� � cheln.

�� Meanwhile, the innkeeper, and we tried to understand the daß were not so, the passage to the toilet and one Furthermore the kitchen m� � sse free. ? See?, Bernd now turned to the L� � chelnde,? Is no place here!? Now the landlord was a bit taken aback, the two women looked quite good and made a friendly, well-bred appearance. And so, he suggested:? Bernd, if you translated r� � on the bench against the wall and Freddy sits on the bank next to the fireplace, then it is.? The bank on the wall was too inconvenient to Bernd and the fireplace was too warm. Nina Schleiz but was immediately took the two St� � HLE, carried them back, came back and sat on the bench with the wall in R� � cken. ? The bank next to the fireplace is too warm?, Now my friend grumbled that obviously was much too nice to have a green � Ayer uprising to make. This consisted Susanne, who has again very briefly the L� � cheln was passed to the fireplace and beamed bank then to Bernd. ? That you do not need?, Rte I declare it now with all my Verf� � the H� � tion flichkeit,? I put myself on the bench and you take my chair.? -?? I find it gema � tlich here?, She gave me back,? Kuschelig right? and now also beamed back at me. ? Really? it came from me half ungl� � ubig back. And then I rode a devil, you know what, and I sat next to me. There was a Berza � � � hligen chair at the table.

�� ? Welcome to my regulars!? Bernd invited all of us played with comic seriousness and a ausgreifenden buildings rde On. ? What would like the ladies to drink? ? I will pay itself? Called my neighbor quickly between. ? Nonsense? Gave her blonde hair back,? The Next round goes to the house, publishing house ... up?, Erga � nzte then, when the host surprised her hera � berblickte.
�� ? We have just about Marilyn Monroe talking?, Bernd familiar now to the two and wanted something else then obviously Add � gen ? This is a topic Sch� � nes?, Nina laughed with the little round mouth to him hera � ber ... and then:? but they were the defending champion of Sascha, is not it?

The main character Accattone, says Will, is in accordance with the � � Blicher criteria a failure. A thief and Zuha � lter, f� � r still the Pasolini film in his sympathies to awaken white - just one of those existences, their lives inevitably "straight � rts consideration leads."

The fÃ� � r � frÃ� the postwar period he sensational novelty market had a lÃ� � nger Background: Along with the reversal films Agfacolor fÃ� � r Dias and narrow the films had already Afga 1935-1937 with the drafting of the negative / positive process deals already in the autumn of 1937, the first successful Experiments with Color paper. But zunÃ� � ChST had colored movie precedence. In the IG Farben group, which then Agfa gehÃ� � rte, there was division of labor: In the photo, it was factory Leverkusen fÃ� � r � zustÃ� the paper is constantly in the movie Wolfen factory fÃ� � r the film.
This photograph taken before 1945 photo of the teacher Wilhelm Lange was a few years ago based on recent Agfacolor paper vergrÃ� � ssert and thereby color refreshed again.

As early October 1942 on the Dresdner Fachtagung �, � �Film and Farbe�, » Agfacolor-VergrÃ� � Ã� � sserungen shown in public were also Duxochrom pictures to see. These were FarbvergrÃ� � sserungen after a aufwÃ�-employed procedure, which the company John Herzog, Hemelingen (Bremen), ursprÃ� � � r nglich fÃ� three-color cameras, as the Bermpohl � eingefÃ� had been done and zunÃ� � ChST next Jos-Pe of the eponymous firm, and the Hamburger Uvatypie (Vitacolor ) of Uvachrom AG, MÃ� � nchen, one of the few possibilities MÃ� was to color pictures to get supervision.

In the U.S. there was a lot further there were the amateurs from January 1942 with Roll Kodacolor films and photographs from the negatives directly from Kodak to produce color images. In addition, since 1941 Kodachrome slides of prints on a suitably developed plastic material produced, the 1943 The Ã� � Similar Ansco Printon followed.
In Germany, the Agfacolor negative / positive process in addition to the movies until the end of the war only the photographer of the state, party and army have been reserved. Man kÃ� � ndigte his EinfÃ� � hrung also fÃ� � r paper pictures after the war to end. But above all, the Agfa-chemists tested it themselves, they are still frÃ� � he pictures of both the inventors of the procedure Agfacolor Gustav Wilmanns and Dr. William Schneider, as well as by the chemist Dr. Edith Weyden, which deals with development of recipes fÃ� � r the Color paper addressed, Ã� � berliefert.

Consequences of the division of Germany
The big factory of the film in Agfa Wolfen was in the Soviet-occupied zone and was seized as war booty. The winner was next to the power Kinofarbfilm heavily on colored paper image interested.
In 1947 Wolfen presented at the Leipzig FrÃ� � hjahrsmesse Agfacolor negative films fÃ� � r photo purposes. You in 1948, however, the absence of color paper zunÃ� � ChST with the recommendation eingefÃ� � executed by the color black and white negatives AbzÃ� � ge built. The films were also in the Western zones delivered, where still no color paper to � VerfÃ� tion, even if it is already in Leverkusen wÃ� � during the war had been produced. It had zunÃ� ChST � Ã� � berhaupt a film production set. After 1948 durchgefÃ� � hrten WÃ� � hrungsreform and GrÃ� � ndung the Federal Republic, the time was ripe, at last the old promise einzulÃ� � sen. Also threatened competition from abroad, where the photographic industry, after the forced publication of VerÃ� � Agfacolor formulations also bemÃ� � hte, then cinema and photo materials. For example, Agfa Leverkusen, then a division of Bayer Farbenfabriken, in September 1949 both the color and the color of paper on the market.
In the GDR, the situation was reversed: There had to be apart of the film production is now also produces color paper, which after small experimental quantities from 1947 until 1951 was full, so that the photographers there something spÃ� � ter than in West Germany in the enjoyment of the proceedings came. The Farbmaterialien from Leverkusen and Wolfen differed in properties and processing.

Links: The first �, � �fremden�, » Agfacolor color after the procedure were Gevacolor from Belgium, Telcolor from Switzerland and Ferraniacolor from Italy. Fomacolor from Czechoslovakia arrived spÃ� � ter added.
Middle: ZunÃ� � ChST came Agfacolor negative films from Leverkusen in printed cans on the market. Particularly striking are the Agfa-Rhombus initially hinzugefÃ� � gten four strokes to differentiate movies from Wolfen.
Right: Before the EinfÃ� � hrung in Leverkusen films and also afterward to ErgÃ� � nzung the markets in West Germany moved Agfa Leverkusen also films from Wolfen. They contributed to QualitÃ� � assurance a red mark with adhesive �, � �T�, » � r fÃ� daylight and the rhombus.
The film speed was in the west with 14/10�, � � DIN (now ISO 20/14�, � �) zunÃ� � � hÃ� ChST slightly higher than in the east with 13/10 �, � � DIN (ISO 16/13�, � �), the development was something Wolfener kÃ� � rzer, but the Ã� � stliche Agfacolor paper was in the White yellowish proves especially noticed on the screen.
Kodacolor films came in the Federal Republic until 1958 on the market, but stood since 1949 Ferraniacolor from Italy and since 1950 Gevacolor from Belgium, Photo Color (spÃ� � ter: pakolor) from England and from Switzerland Telcolor wait before TÃ� � r. The ADOX Color negative film as a western German competition came in 1955 the market and ADOX Color Paper in 1957, only � r fÃ� the firm's own copy produced Institute. Telcolor negative film and paper were as Color photo only fÃ� � r the domestic demand in small quantities manufactured, but realized in 1946 in Switzerland, Agfa-emigrant chemist Dr. William Schneider � Ã� some of his older basic ideas: the Universal film fÃ� � r day and artificial light with optional Einentwicklung a kontrastmindernden Silver Mask, Color paper without yellow filter layer and intermediate with 2-bath development thanks Bleichfixierbad combined.

Right: FÃ� � r the first postwar Agfa-Wolfen in the catalog took Walde Huth, before the end of the war in PrÃ� � fstelle film factory, with the negative / positive process beschÃ� � ftigt was on this paper Wolfener Color vergrÃ� � sserte photo.

Schneider's ideas were also contractually Ferrania benefit, but Agfa Leverkusen fÃ� � hrte 1956 is also a Universal film, the CN 17 with both hÃ� � herer sensitivity (ISO 40/17�, � �) a. This film had sensitivity Agfa Wolfen already in autumn 1954 with the ultra-negative Agfacolor T reached. The concept of �, � �Universalfilm�, » � ChST zunÃ� had a double meaning, because the film should not only be well fÃ� � r recordings with photo lamps (instead of flash), but would largely replace the black and white film. About the high cost fÃ� � r shied color or the wrong film was exposed, could nÃ� � mlich of the remaining unmasked, ie not with an orange �, � �Gegenpositiv�, » Ã� � berlagerten color easily on the Ã� � Blicher black paper copy or in the home laboratory themselves do. Kodacolor was on the other hand, since 1949 farbmaskiert. In popularity among amateurs had photo zunÃ� � ChST but slide films prevail, even if Agfa Leverkusen had hoped, the advocated �, � �New Agfacolor-Photographie�, » � wÃ� would prevail - the CT 18 was fÃ� � r long time to grÃ� � ssten market success. From the slides, however, were soon on Farbumkehrpapier copied images erhÃ� � ltlich.
From HÃ� � ndlerlabor to big finisher
� ZunÃ� ChST was the color of paper processing to QualitÃ� � assurance of only a few designated Afga HÃ� � ndlerlabors reserved and copy centers, which include a speaking mehrwÃ� � � nÃ� training was important. Already in 1951, also for specialist photographers AusÃ� � bung the procedure authorized by Agfa. On the advisory team of Agfa gehÃ� � rte the well-known photographer and teacher Prof. Dr. Walter Hege. As still images with the Agfa Varioscop hand vergrÃ� � ssert were beschrÃ� � nkte is rational to the so-called world postcard (10.5 x 14.8 cm). The hourly output was only fÃ� � nf images, which started with DM 4.50 cost more than fÃ� � nf cheap cinema tickets in early May 1950 were also cheaper copies and contact other formats delivered. The preferred small AbzÃ� � ge roll movies in the format 6 x 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. x 9 cm cost DM 1.50 and from small-size 7.5 x 10.5 cm even DM 1,80. The pictures were in a SchnellkopiergerÃ� � t (Agfa Seriograph F) time. 1957 appeared as the Agfa Colormat electronically controlled VergrÃ� � � sserungsgerÃ� t and 1960 after the U.S. began in West Germany in the automation of the color with the printer Agfa Colormator N 76, the per hour 4a � � 000 images in standard format 7.5 x 10, 5 cm provided.
Among the first, now internationally active finishers gehÃ� � rt CeWe Color, with its VorgÃ� � nger photo WÃ� � ltje in Oldenburg, where the first 1952 Color Paper Machine Development fÃ� � r one days output of 6a � � 000 copies had been. 1965 erÃ� � CeWe Color opened the first major laboratory in Germany. Thanks to the automation of film development, and paper copies could - for increased BildqualitÃ� � t - prices are always the picture further. Even today, an important paper Color UmsatztrÃ� � ger fÃ� � r pictures from digital storage media.
Agfacolor paper will, however, since the end of 2005 no longer manufactured - one of the most modern production facilities in the world was the end of AgfaPhoto in Leverkusen to victims.

(premium presse) - Katzh� � tte, 21.06.2009 07:51 - Genesis is a 1967 founded � nds British rock band which are commonly awarded for their very individualistic members and her two clearly different musical � "ren is known. With over 150 million albums sold worldwide za � hlen Genesis to dreißig green bands with Ayten Plattenverk� � � ufen.
At the beginning of the career of urspr� � nglich for nfk� � pfigen band, the complex song structures, instrumentation and sophisticated theater-term k� � artistic live performances Genesis into one of the most important and popular bands of the progressive rock genre. In addition to King Crimson, Emerson, Lake Virgillio, Nir Zidhyaku
The Anfa � nge
The roots of Genesis are at the Charterhouse School in Godalming (Surrey) to find. 1963 Next came Peter Gabriel and Tony Banks in the traditional, elitist � re private school. Both were frustrated by the then very strict and repressive rules of an English Public School and used their leisure to tight joint music. Tony Banks has played since his childhood fr� � HEN piano. Even Peter Gabriel got in his youth, piano lessons, but soon became interested in more f� � r the drums. Since both in school only a piano to Verf� � employment stood, it was agreed that Banks played this, whereas Gabriel sang about. To play both Next-known rock and pop songs of its time, but quickly composed his first pieces.
1964, a year after Banks and Gabriel, Mike Rutherford came to the school. He has played since his seventh year of life guitar. He makes friends with another guitarist, Anthony Phillips, and played in the sequence together with him. Together with their Mitsch� � lern Richard Macphail, Rivers Job and Rob Tyrrell green � nds both her own band 1965 Anon. Phillips was the lead group, whereas the rhythm guitar Rutherford � � bernahm. Macphail (later road manager and sound mixer in fr� � HEN Genesis until April 1973) contributed to the Leadgesang. Anon restrict itself nkte � Next After playing on the tracks of the Rolling Stones and other famous rock and Popgr� � ßen their time. For a while Rutherford was replaced by Mick Colman, since he and drummer Chris Stewart also another band project called Climax pursued.
Around the same time, Banks and Gabriel joined the school band, The Garden Wall of trumpeter Johnny Trapman at. As stieß drummer Chris Stewart added, whereas Rivers job here too the role of bassist � � bernahm. In the summer of 1966 joined the band Anon, The Garden Wall and Climax plant � sslich a charter school house concert together, with the lack of members they partially merge ließ. Who played with whom exactly is unclear, since the subsequent teren Genesis members at different times different Ausk� � � ber nfte dara said. The fact is that the concert for all parties represented an important event, although it is by the school shortly before the end was canceled: Rebel Richard Macphail had despite expressly ban daring, the last song anzusagen.
A short time later l� � ste are Anon, and Mike Rutherford and Anthony Phillips retreated back to writing songs together. When they some of their 1967 St� � cke wanted to record, they asked Tony Banks to musical � Assisted Support on the piano. Banks � � convinced the vocals only m� � ßig Phillips gifted them, as Peter Gabriel S� � nger dazuzunehmen. Rutherford moved to the rhythm of his guitar to bass, because Rivers Job meanwhile the school behind them, and the blues rock band Savoy Brown had connected. In this occupation, they took in the Easter holidays at a friend Phillips / Rutherford compositions Don? T Want You Back, Try a Little Sadness, That's Me, Lists on Five and Patricia, as well as the Banks / Gabriel-St� � ck on She Is Beautiful . Following Chris Stewart was obliged as a drummer, the initial occupation of the band complete.
The Peter Gabriel-� "ra
First singles and Deba � talbum
As in the same year the former Charterhouse-Sch� � ler Jonathan King, meanwhile a relatively successful music producer, his former college came to him ließ the band sent their demo tape. King was excited by the recordings and took the young band, after yet another demo f� � r had produced him, in his record company Jonjo Music under contract. He had precise ideas about how the group's sound was, and insisted on simple arrangements with acoustic instrumentation in a quiet guitar and piano. In this style, they took their first single Where the Sour Turns to Sweet, which however is not � vera has been published. In the background, the band has already composed l� � nger and more complex pieces, which, however, King missfiel. So they wrote the simple knitted Title The Silent Sun, with whom she put it back on its � � convinced. King produced the song in December 1967 quickly with them as a single, on 22 February 1968 at the Decca label in the market came from.
For these single, and its planned debut album took the band, which until then had half as the New Anon company had a Z� � ndenden name. After several bad ideas like gleichermaßen Meadow Champagne or Gabriel's Angels beat Jonathan King finally called Genesis, which was the beginning of something new and should suggest to all members of the coherence. � Anschließend vera published with A Winter's Tale another single, but like the previous one was unsuccessful. Then verließ drummer Chris Stewart, the band and was replaced by John Silver. Genesis worked with him on the first album, entitled From Genesis to Revelation should appear. It was in summer 1968 within ten days in the Regent Studios in London.
The album finally appeared in March 1969, but without explicit mention of the band name, because at that time already a U.S. band existed, which was the name Genesis. The name of the album prompted the Plattenl� � about the album irrt� � mlich Category RELIGIA � se assign music? with the result that there are only about 600 copies sold down completely. Also, the single release of the St� � cks Where the Sour Turns to Sweet in June 1969, the sales figures do not increase. The input and invariably short popular pieces of plate were not yet the musical potential of Genesis, but rather had the taste of its producer Jonathan King adapted. Meanwhile nachtr� � � gte hinzugef� resembled strings and Bla � serpassagen stießen in the band? Anthony Phillips in particular? on little approval, and due to the ever green Ayer expectant k� � � artistic differences separated is finally freed from King. Meanwhile, all members of their school and were in a phase of finding what their zuk� � of future development were concerned.
Reorientation (getting it together in the country)
After a short break, the band met in the summer of 1969 together again. Gabriel, Phillips, Banks and Rutherford quickly discovered her joy of music again and decided to make a professional musician. John Silver, who had left the band to enter the U.S. to study, was the new drummer John Mayhew replaced. On 20 August, the group a demo tape with the new song White Mountain, Family (one fr� � he version of Dusk), Going Out to Get You and Pacidy on. In this phase, bought the band members with borrowed money, all their first professional tools and increased their instrumental skills further.
From October 1969 to April 1970 the band moved secluded cottage, the Cottage Christmas with parents of her friend Richard Macphail, the first order over a long period of intensive work on their music. Despite some differences between the band members, the community musical Bema � tionships here a giant step forward. During this time, Genesis also used every opportunity to live and the tracks in front of an audience to test, making the first small but loyal fan base was born. Two recording sessions are in this phase: On 9 January 1970 took the band four St� � cke f� � r a never-broadcast BBC television documentary of the painter Mick Jackson on. By Paul Samwell-Smith produced Instrumentals Provocation, frustration, manipulation, and resignation are a Jackson fan tapes known. On 22 February we played live at the BBC Maida Vale Studios titles Shepherd, Pacidy, Let Us Now Make Love, stagnation, Looking For Someone and Dusk for the BBC radio show Nightride On.
Finally the band came when Charisma label under f� � r them in June and July, their second album started. Trespass on 23 Vera � October 1970 and is published today by many fans as the first? Right?, Unverf� � lschte album of the group. Compared to her first album was the music of Genesis clearly evolved: In place of short pop songs were up to nine minutes long title with extended instrumental parts. Trespass is generally more acoustically and kept ZWA � lfsaitigen guitars, organ and piano dominated. Only the fr� � he live bookmark The Knife is a dynamic rock number, and by aggressive guitars game marked. This title was published? divided into two parts? in May the following year as a single. Despite some good reviews, the album was commercially less successful.
Shortly after the recording of Trespass, there was a personnel change in the band: Due k� � artistic differences and Krankheitsgr� � nd verließ guitarist Anthony Phillips Group. He suffered from stage fright, was of the now numerous appearances geschw� � cht and musical issues are often different opinion than the other band members. This withdrawal was f� � r Genesis a big loss since it beside their guitarist will also play an important song writer and the actual temples fr� � he � sselfigur the band lost. The subsequent period of the remaining members still considered greatest crisis of the band's history is described. In the wake of Phillips? Farewell is also separated from drummer John Mayhew, who is now high musical level of the band could no longer hold. After a short period of helplessness, in which even the end of the band stood up for discussion, we finally decided to go ahead and by ad in the Melody Maker for a new 12-string guitarist and a drummer f� � eligible to seek.
Admission by Phil Collins and Steve Hackett
The ad appeared Phil Collins, who has been fr� � her childhood and has played drums as a youth by a role in the musical Oliver B� � hnenerfahrungen had gathered. Moreover, he had some film and television productions, including the super-Beatles film Yeah Yeah Yeah (A Hard Days Night). Together with his friend Ronnie Caryl, he played in the relatively unknown band Flaming Youth, in 1969 the album Ark vera � 2 was published. It was just after a new musical challenge, when he learned that Genesis searched for new musicians. So he filed in September 1970 along with guitarist Caryl on the ad and they were in the house of Peter Gabriel's parents invited preludes. It quickly became clear that Collins the job as a drummer would get � rde. He played the Genesis St� � cke � � not only conviction but also humanly fit the band. The search for a guitar made in the wake of difficult because you not only looking for a musician, but also a song writer, one of the band fit. Moreover, mainly by Mike Rutherford asked instrumental requirements for the new guitar player is very high. So it was that the search Next remained unsuccessful. Therefore, we played a few months as a quartet and Tony Banks � � bernahm the guitar parts on his keyboards. F� � r short time stieß guitarist Mick Barnard joined the band, although the level of the remaining band could not hold.
In December 1970 Peter Gabriel discovered in the Melody Maker a display of guitarist Steve Hackett, who are looking for like-minded musicians and song writers was. Hackett has played since the mid-1960s, electric and acoustic guitar. Already at the age of 16 he left school and then in different bands involved. He has been helped by the blues guitarist of his contemporaries such as Eric Clapton influenced equally by Gitarrenk� � experimental artists such as Jeff Beck and later Robert Fripp. In his game, he came to less speed, but rather that, with his guitar into new melodic and harmonic areas. Gabriel called him and advised him that the St� � ck stagnation of Trespass anzuh� � ren and to report back if it coherence. After a free concert by the band at London's Lyceum, the Hackett attended, he was appointed as preludes to Tony Banks? Houses and got the job. For the year 1970/71 was the? Classic?

Label boss Tony Stratton-Smith ließ his three most promising bands touring together and Genesis era opened the concerts � f� � r Van der Graaf Generator and Lindisfarne.

International reputation
After successes in Belgium (Trespass on top of the charts) and Italy (Nursery Cryme on No. 4) gave the beginning of Genesis in 1972 their first concerts außerhalb Great Britain: after a gig in Brussels in January, the band in April the same seven times in Italy. The single Happy the Man was in May 1972 while still singing and toneless below, but in October vera � Foxtrot album published with the epic Supper's Ready and the Arthur C. Clarke inspired Watcher of the Skies brought the band finally The commercial breakthrough in their own country (rank 12). Was the band by then mostly as the opening act and other acts as part of the festival programs in appearance, it was on the live album Genesis Foxtrot Tour documented by 1972/73 their first tour as the main attraction dar. At that time Gabriel began with various disguises and masks to experiment, to the often surrealistic visual texts of the band to be emphasized. His eccentric B� � hnenshow and generally the Verkn� � Pfungen of music and look at the concerts helped Genesis to large Popularit� � t. Until then, Tony Stratton-Smith and himself rather than more poorly managed, the band undertook with Tony Smith 1973 for a professional manager who now s� � mtliche marketed Genesis works (from 1977 with his company hit most of the time used Effektger� devices were custom-made products of the Dutch � nders Theo Botschuijver.

Towards the end I found that the singing is not really too was h� � ren. Already at the beginning of the tour, in December 1974, had Peter Gabriel's band colleagues Verka � nds that he will leave.
Gabriel's farewell
The Gr� � nde f� � r Peter Gabriel's Genesis exit were complex: The band was in the �-public increasingly recognized as Gabriel and his perceived opponents, which led to internal tensions � vessels had done, which can still strengthen � markets, as the front man in the middle of the writing process for The Lamb a listing of the director William Friedkin f� � r a joint film project to follow.

Peter Gabriel as Solok� � nstler 2004
Gabriel's Farewell was finally freed on 27 May 1975 with the last concert of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway tour in French Besanon, but was only made public in August. Urspr� � nglich wanted the musicians to rock Business f� � r always saying goodbye, but in 1976 he once again took first demos with solo material. The song Solsbury Hill his first album, Peter Gabriel (1977) was an allegory about his departure from Genesis in which his ex-colleagues with lines like? No-one taught them etiquette? thoughtful. Despite the hard time interpersonal conflicts are Gabriel and Genesis until now linked in friendship remained in subsequent years earlier ußerte � � � nachtr� the band resembled full-Image understanding for his decision, the family the priority.
The Phil Collins-� "ra
Bombast Rock
In the search for a successor for Peter Gabriel tried for the remaining band members numerous S� � nger, before they realized that the right man for the job r is already in its own ranks was: drummer Phil Collins, who has from the outset as a background -S� � nger of the band had convinced � � � � bernahm finally the position of Lead-S� � nger. By David Hentschel (former engineer of the album Nursery Cryme) produced first album of the post-Gabriel-� "ra, A Trick Of The Tail, was established in 1976 by fans and critics, friendly and sold better than any previous Genesis albums. At the end of the (almost) instrumental St� � cks Los Endos was a Peter Gabriel gema � nztes self Quote from Suite Suppers Ready to h� � ren:? Theres an angel standing in the sun freed to get back home?. According to many klang Collins? Voice? More than Gabriel Gabriel himself?. For the live performances of the trick-Tour � � bernahm former Yes / King Crimson drummer Bill Bruford Items by Collins, so that to concentrate on the singing was. Collins? Approach as a front man for live performances differed by Gabriel theaterinspirierten appearances and his interpretations of the Gabriel-St� � cke sounded vibrant. Years later, at the Milton Keynes-reunion concert of 1982, Gabriel Collins revealed that he had the songs better than he himself s� � nge, but never like him.
In December 1976, the album winds Full ignored, he was never, but the highest modern sound of the eighties adjusted. The use of a drum machine was a constant feature of future k� � Genesis and Collins solo albums. The commercial music was designed for the mass media good reviews. Duke was f� � r Genesis, the first number one success in the BBC's album chart, and the outcoupling Turn It On Again and misunderstanding were two of the band and liked h� � frequently played songs.
Rise to world stardom
Early 1980s verf� � gte the band the first time in its history over green � Ayer financial resources and could be its own recording studio The Farm Building in Surrey, where s� � mtliche further albums were recorded. The beginning was 1981, the minimalist style Abacab album with the band tried a Großteil drops its bombast and new ways to package the proceedings. F� � r the song No Reply at All, the later occurring as Phenix Horns Bla � sersektion of the group Earth, Wind and Fire is committed. Significantly f� � r Abacab was the use of the Collins-typical gated-reverb drum sounds, the reverb, volume � strength and compression effects and marked the beginning of that year already maßgeblich to the success of Collins? Worldwide in the Air Tonight, and his Deba � talbums Face Value had contributed. Developed this particular sound urspr� � nglich by Peter Gabriel, co-producer Hugh Padgham and Collins in the recordings Intruder, the first song on Gabriel's 1980 album. The gated-drum sounds should also be the hallmark s� � � mtlicher zuk� of future Genesis and Collins are par albums.
Vera � 1982 the band published the live double album Three Sides Live. The U.S. version of this album consisted of three (vinyl-) pages live material (hence the album title), plus a page with studio recordings, including the song Paperlate, where again? Earth, Wind and Fire? Bla-ser on h� � � ren are. In Great Britain, three were unchanged � published the title of the studio side of the DP with 3 x 3 on the market. This is why the British version of Three Sides Live additional live material, but it was � � lter and fr� � heren tours came.
On 2 October 1982 was held in Milton Keynes under the name Six of the Best a unique reunion concert at which both Peter Gabriel as well (for the encores) Steve Hackett participated. The organization took place under big time pressure rather than the concert revenue should the financially ailing Gabriel's WOMAD project benefit. To the chagrin of the fans from this performance, there are no official recordings.
The Genesis eponyme album was 1983 the third number-one album in Great Britain. It included radio-friendly titles such as Mum and That's All. With Home by the Sea, due to its Pentaton in Asia was particularly popular, was a reminiscence of the days long and epic songs. The St� � ck Just a Job to Do became the title tune of the ABC detective series The Insiders (1985). At this time shifted the interest of the band members on their respective solo careers, which also illustrates that, from the former album sessions untypischerweise no additional material in the form of outtakes or single B-sides emerged.
1986, when the Popularit� � � t Solok� of Phil Collins nstlers their H� � hepunkt had attained vera � published her best-selling Genesis album Invisible Touch. The album has five U.S. Top 5 singles show Invisible Touch, In Too Deep, Land Of Confusion, Tonight, Tonight, Tonight and Throwing it All Away. Despite a rather meager place 15 in the British charts reaching the title song as a single-title Genesis � � berhaupt place one in the U.S. singles charts. Beginning of the year, Collins had a Verulkung his person on Spitting Image, a British satirical show seen them and was so impressed that the makers of the show with the production of music videos to Land of Confusion behalf. The video has been beißend-sarcastic comment to the Cold War, in which Banks, Collins and Rutherford and including the Superman disguised as Ronald Reagan as rubber dolls were displayed. The clip was f� � r the MTV Video Music Award nominations, which then, however, went to Gabriel's Sledgehammer. Anheuser-Busch took Tonight, Tonight, Tonight (as well as Collins In the Air Tonight) f� � r their beer advertising, whereas In Too Deep in the film Mona Lisa was received. The Instrumentalst� � ck The Brazilian was in the animated film When the wind blows used. On the tour for the album was Genesis in 1987 the first volume in the Wembley Stadium four evenings in a row before a sold out house spielte.Genesis was also the first band, the Vari * Lite lighting effects, Jumbotron video screens, and the Prism sound system to was used, nowadays the standard for rock concerts in big arenas However belong �
At the Prince's Trust concert at the Royal Albert Hall 1988 played Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel for the first and so far last time since 1982 live together again. Collins was at this evening, the house band drummer who will be Gabriel's Sledgehammer Hit escorted.
After one of Soloaktivit� ten ausgef� � � l� � nger llten alongside Collins was out since the mid-1980s, including Mike Rutherford with his second project Mike was the group in 1991, to We Can? T Dance to publish, Collins? so far last studio album with Genesis. It included successful singles such as No Son Of Mine, I Can?

The Song Since I Lost You wrote Collins plant � sslich of the death of Eric Clapton's son Conor. F� � r the album the band first worked with Nick Davis, who has all new Publications of the band produces, and the � � older material has remastered and remixed.

In 2000, the trio Banks / Collins / Rutherford in London's Hilton hotel, a private concert f� � r band manager Tony Smith in the form of a short Akustiksets.
The R� � ckkehr by Phil Collins
After numerous speculations about a reunion was in October 2006 in the press announced that f� � � R 2007 facts chlich a tour through Europe and the U.S. occupation in the Banks / Collins / Rutherford planned. The urspr� � ngliche plan had been The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway with Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett reiterated the B� � hne to bring, but Gabriel was based on its own activities ten f� � r a new version of Genesis in F� � nferbesetzung initially not available. Since the quad band version of the 1976/77 only a short Übergangsphase had been decided that Banks / Collins / Rutherford to instead as a trio to perform. In a brief note on its website showed Steve Hackett understanding-Image Dafa � r and gave his best W� � nsche for the reunion tour.
Phil Collins in June 2007 again on tour with Genesis
On 7 November 2006, Turn it on Again? THE TOUR at a press conference in London officially angek� � ndigt order on 11 June 2007, almost exactly forty years after Gr� � ndung of the band, to start in Helsinki. The tour included a total of 22 concerts in Europe, nine of them in German stadiums (Hamburg, Hanover, 2x D� � sseldorf, Stuttgart, Berlin, Leipzig, Frankfurt and Munich). Within nine hours were in Germany alone sold 200,000 tickets. The conclusion of the Europe section of the tour took place on 14 July in Rome, where the band in the Circus Maximus, with free admission of approximately half a million viewers was seen. From 7 September (Toronto) to 13 October (Los Angeles) went there for R 24 concerts in Canada and the USA. � rkt understanding was the band back through their old companion Daryl Stuermer and Chester Thompson.

Inspiration and Einfl� � sse
Genesis were supported by a broad spectrum of music from classical music to the mainstream rock and jazz influences. The packages in mid-1968 recorded their first album From Genesis to Revelation is still oriented to The Moody Blues and the Family Deba � talbum and, in the case of the single The Silent Sun, to the Bee Gees, whose outspoken fan producer Jonathan King was. 1969 then the entire band from the first King Crimson album is fascinating, the show traces in their music hinterließ. Another important fr� � he Einfl� � sse, of the bands with classical musicians Ankl� � nts like Procol Harum and The Nice, but also the Folkrock band Fairport Convention.
Banks named Alan Price of the Animals as "the first person that I am the organ in the rock context aware ließ?. Zu seinen Einflüssen aus der Klassik zählt der Keyboarder Rachmaninow, Ravel, Mahler und Schostakowitsch. Collins war Buddy Rich und dem jazzigen Mahavishnu Orchestra zugetan, die Eingang in seinen Schlagzeugstil fanden. Gabriel ließ sich gesanglich von persönlichen Favoriten wie Nina Simone, Otis Redding und Familys Roger Chapman inspirieren. Alle Mitglieder der 5er-Besetzung waren zudem Fans der Beatles, auch wenn deren Einfluss eher selten zu erahnen ist (etwa bei I Know What I Like).
Coverversionen von Genesis-Songs und Einfluss auf andere Bands
Die meisten (Ex-)Mitglieder der Band haben bei ihren Solo-Konzerten auch Genesis-Material gespielt, allen voran Hackett mit In That Quiet Earth, Los Endos, Horizons, Blood on the Rooftops, After the Ordeal und I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe), letzteres Stück auch mit seiner kurzlebigen Supergroup GTR. Zu Gabriels Live-Set am Anfang von dessen Karriere gehörten The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway und Back in NYC, während Collins seine Neuinterpretation von Behind The Lines spielte sowie später auch I Cant Dance, Turn It On Again, Misunderstanding und Invisible Touch. Etliche Genesis-Songs wurden von Ray Wilson live interpretiert und auf den beiden Alben Live und Live and Acoustic dokumentiert: Carpet Crawlers, Follow You, Follow me, I Can?t Dance, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, No Son of Mine, Shipwrecked und Mama, zudem In the Air Tonight (Collins solo) und Biko (Gabriel solo).
Der erste Künstler, der einen Genesis-Song im Studio coverte, war Phil Collins mit Behind the Lines auf seinem Debütalbum Face Value. 1993 versuchte sich Fish auf seinem Fremdkompositionen vorbehaltenen Werk Songs From The Mirror an I Know What I Like. Im selben Jahr war Carpet Crawlers in der Interpretation der deutschen Band M. Walking on the Water auf deren EP Pictures of an Exhibitionist zu hören. Das 1998 postum veröffentlichte Album Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk von Jeff Buckley enthielt eine Coverversion von Back in NYC. Die schwedische Death-Metal-Band In Flames coverte 2003 Land of Confusion auf ihrer EP Trigger, ebenso Disturbed 2005 auf ihrem Album Ten Thousand Fists. Zudem nutzte die schwedische Discopop-Gruppe Alczar den Refrain des Songs für ihren Hit This is the World We Live In von 2004. 2009 sampelte der kanadische Rapper Classified No Reply At All für seine Single Anybody Listening.
Es existieren auch ganze Tribute-Alben, auf denen diverse, zumeist unbekanntere Musiker Genesis-Stücke coverten. Die bekanntesten dieser Kompilationen sind The River of Constant Change (1995, unter anderem mit Galahad und der deutschen Tributband Seconds Out), Suppers Ready (1995, mit Annie Haslam, Kevin Gilbert, Richard Sinclair) und The Fox Lies Down (1998, mit John Wetton, Daevid Allen, The Flower Kings). Auch Steve Hackett zollte 1996 auf seinem Album Genesis Revisited (US-Titel: Watcher of the Skies) mit den Gästen John Wetton, Bill Bruford, Ian McDonald, Paul Carrack, Chester Thompson, Tony Levin, Colin Blunstone und dem Royal Philharmonic Orchestra seiner ehemaligen Band Tribut.
Des Weiteren wurden den Genesis-Werken Interpretationen von Klassik über Jazz bis zu (Pseudo-)Gregorianischem Gesang zuteil. Auf Phil Collins? Live-Album A Hot Night In Paris von 1999 sind die Genesis-Stücke That?s All, Invisible Touch, Hold on My Heart und eine Endos Suite im Big Band-Gewand zu hören. Eine ebenfalls rein instrumentale Angelegenheit war das 2000 von Daryl Stuermer präsentierte Werk Another Side Of Genesis mit Smooth Jazz-Versionen einiger Hits der Band. Aus der Klassik-Abteilung können lediglich das von David Palmer (mittlerweile Dee Palmer) mit dem London Symphony Orchestra und Gastmusiker Steve Hackett eingespielte Album We Know What We Like (1987) sowie das ebenfalls von Hackett unterstützte zweiteilige Projekt Genesis for two Grand Pianos (2002/05) der Pianisten Yngve Guddal und Roger T. Matte überzeugen.
Der vor allem mit der Band Spock?s Beard in Erscheinung tretende kurzzeitige Session-Drummer von Genesis, Nick D?Virgilio, wagte sich 2008 in Zusammenarbeit mit Produzent Mark Hornsby an eine Neuinterpretation des kompletten Doppelalbums The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. Das Rewiring Genesis: A Tribute To The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway genannte Werk wurde von ausgesuchten Musikern aus Nashville mit starken Jazz-Anklängen eingespielt.
Als Vorreiter des Progressive Rock-Genres werden Genesis von zahlreichen der seit den frühen 1980er Jahren aufgetauchten Neo-Progrock-Gruppen als Einfluss genannt: Marillion, IQ, Dream Theater, Echolyn, Spock?s Beard, The Flower Kings, Änglagrd, Phish, Pendragon und Opeth, ebenso von älteren Bands wie Ange, Camel, Rush, Goblin, Kansas und Saga.
Tribute-Bands wie The Musical Box, ReGenesis oder Duke, führen regelmäßig meist älteres Genesis-Material aus der Peter-Gabriel-Ära auf.
Alben-Cover
Die Alben-Cover von Genesis reflektieren die Musik-Themen des jeweiligen Albums und sind meist aufwändig und komplex gestaltet. Das erste Album hatte ein ganz in schwarz gehaltenes Cover mit dem Schriftzug From Genesis to Revelation in goldener gebrochener Schriftart in der oberen linken Ecke. Der Name der Band wurde ansonsten nicht erwähnt. Das Cover dieses Albums änderte sich mit nahezu jeder der zahlreichen Wiederveröffentlichungen.
Die Cover der drei folgenden Alben stammten alle von Charisma-Records-Grafiker Paul Whitehead. Das Cover von Nursery Cryme war durch die Geschichte rund um den Song The Musical Box beeinflusst, das von Foxtrot zeigt eine weibliche Figur in einem roten Kleid mit dem Kopf eines Fuchses. Whitehead gab in einem Interview an, dass der Jimi-Hendrix-Song Foxy Lady ihn zu dieser Darstellung inspiriert hatte, die wiederum Gabriel zu einer seiner ersten Kostümierungen inspirierte.
Nachdem Whitehead nach Los Angeles gezogen war, verwendeten Genesis für das nächste Album Selling England by the Pound eine bereits bestehende Zeichnung von Betty Swanwick, zu der die Künstlerin lediglich noch den Rasenmäher hinzuzeichnete. Später engagierte die Band die renommierte Designer-Firma Hipgnosis, deren Künstler bereits die Cover für Dark Side of the Moon von Pink Floyd und Houses of the Holy von Led Zeppelin entworfen hatten. Das erste Hipgnosis-Album-Cover für Genesis wurde für The Lamb lies down on Broadway erstellt. Hier war zum ersten Mal auf einem Genesis-Album auch eine reale Person abgebildet, die laut dem Covertext den schlichten Namen Omar trug und den Protagonisten Rael darstellte.
Die übrigen Genesis-Alben-Cover der 1970er Jahre wurden von verschiedenen Hipgnosis-Künstlern, allen voran Colin Elgie, gestaltet. Auf dem Cover von A Trick of the Tail waren einige der Song-Charaktere abgebildet: Der Räuber von Robbery, Assault and Battery, der Squonk, das Untier vom Titelsong und von Ripples ein metaphorisches Bild eines alten Menschen, der in Erinnerungen an die Jugendzeit schwelgt. Duke wurde mit Karikaturen von Lionel Koechlin aus dessen Kinderbuch Lalphabet dAlbert illustriert. Abacab und Genesis gestaltete das Bill Smith Studio. Für das Cover des meistverkauften Genesis-Albums Invisible Touch zeichneten Assorted Images verantwortlich, die zuvor Cover für Duran Duran und Culture Club erstellt hatten. Das an Wind t Dance-Aquarell stammt von Felicity Bowers. Die Cover von Calling all Stations und der Kompilation Turn it on Again: The Hits wurden von Wherefore Art? entworfen.
Kritik
Aufgrund ihrer ?Progressive Rock?-Wurzeln und ihres Public School-Hintergrunds unterschieden sich Genesis von anderen Rock-Künstlern ihres Zeitalters wie Led Zeppelin oder Black Sabbath. Die meiste Kritik, der sich die Band in den 1970er Jahren ausgesetzt sah, richtete sich gegen den Progressive Rock im Allgemeinen, den viele als zu verkopft und protzig ablehnten. Fans konventionellerer Rockmusik und sogar etliche Genesis-Fans kamen zudem mit den künstlerisch-theatralischen Auftritten und den Maskeraden Gabriels nicht zurande. 1977 beschrieb ein Artikel des Q-Magazins eine Ray Lowry-Karikatur, in der Fans einem Auftritt der Band GENESNOOZE (engl. snooze = Nickerchen) ?entweder schlafend, sterbend oder komatös? beiwohnten.
Aber auch mit ihrem Wechsel von längeren und komplexeren zu überwiegend kompakteren und zugänglicheren Stücken konnten Genesis es vielen Kritikern nicht recht machen. Eine Plattenkritik zu And Then There Were Three äußerte sich folgendermaßen: ?Kurz gesagt ist dieses verachtenswerte Werk nichts weiter als der bleiche Schatten früherer Leistungen der Gruppe. Der Schaden ist nicht nur unabänderlich, er wurde weithin bekräftigt: ?And Then There Were Three? ist Genesis? erste Goldene Schallplatte in den USA.? Allerdings verließ die Band die Pfade des epischeren, ausgedehnten Rocks nie vollständig.
Vor allem Collins wurde häufig für Genesis? Wandel von einer Progrock-Gruppe zu einer Mainstream-Poprock-Band, deren Musik sich kaum von der des Solokünstlers Collins unterscheide, kritisiert. ?Ich denke nicht, dass wir uns selber verfälscht haben?, sagte Collins in einem Music Express-Interview. ?Irgendwann mal werde ich die Schuld für die Veränderung auf mich nehmen, ich denke aber nur, dass wir älter geworden sind und uns anderen musikalischen Dingen zugewendet haben.?Tatsächlich zeichneten alle drei Bandmitglieder seit 1978 gemeinsam für den Sound und die graduelle musikalische Weiterentwicklung verantwortlich, so dass die sich allein auf Collins richtende Kritik nur in Teilen zutrifft.

Probably the most important day of this young band's history is the 6th July 1957, when the Quarrymen at a Gartenfest the parish of Liverpool Woolton occurred. After the first of two concerts was John Lennon, by his school friend, Ivan Vaughan, the 15-j� years of Paul McCartney presented. Lennon was impressed by McCartney as a text to a version of the Cochran-St� � cks Twenty Flight Rock was the best. A few days later he was in the group. The first joint appearance was held on 18 October 1957 in the Liverpool New Clubmoor Hall statt.Die recording of Paul McCartney meant f� � r the one John Lennon lost his unumschr� � nkten F� � hrungsposition, but require artistic k� � � competition on Augenh� he and a lucrative source of inspiration.

After the group for the finals on the 15th November 1959 in Manchester was able to qualify, a victory seemed possible, but the final took place without the Moondog, as the group of financial reasons the last train to Liverpool had to take.
In January 1960 stieß John Lennon's friend from art school, the aspiring painter Stuart Sutcliffe, a bassist with Moondog. The musically ignorant Sutcliffe had Lennon on the advice of Erla out one of his � s � Gema lde bought a bass guitar.

?10. April 1970
Der Frühling ist da, und Leeds spielt morgen gegen Chelsea, und Ringo und John und George und Paul sind am Leben und wohlauf und voller Hoffnung. Die Welt dreht sich weiter, so wie wir und so wie ihr. Erst wenn sie aufhört sich zu drehen ? das wird der Zeitpunkt sein, sich zu sorgen. Vorher nicht. Bis dahin sind die Beatles am Leben und wohlauf, und der Beat geht weiter, der Beat geht weiter??
Die Zeit nach der Trennung (1970?1993)
Nach den Querelen um Let It Be und Paul McCartneys Alleingang bei der Bekanntgabe der Trennung war das Verhältnis zwischen ihm und den restlichen Beatles zu Beginn der 1970er-Jahre zerrüttet. Keines der Gruppenmitglieder war bei der Weltpremiere des Films anwesend. John Lennon, der das Ende der Beatles in seiner Komposition God verarbeitete, zerstreute in einem legendären Interview mit Jann Wenner vom Magazin Rolling Stone jegliche Hoffnungen auf eine baldige Wiedervereinigung. Am 31. Dezember 1970 verklagte McCartney die restlichen Ex-Beatles und Apple vor dem Londoner High Court auf Beendigung der Geschäftsbeziehungen untereinander. Der Prozess endete am 12. März 1971 zugunsten McCartneys.
Trotz der Beatles-Trennung blieben John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison und Ringo Starr in den 1970er-Jahren in mehr oder weniger engem Kontakt. Zu einem gemeinsamen Treffen aller vier kam es jedoch nicht mehr.
John Lennon schrieb und produzierte für Ringo Starr dessen Stücke I?m the Greatest (1973), Goodnight Vienna (1974) und Cookin? (1976). Paul McCartney unterstützte Starr musikalisch bei den Aufnahmen zu You?re Sixteen und Six O?Clock (1973) und Pure Gold (1976). George Harrison arbeitete 1971 mit Lennon an der LP Imagine und mit Starr an Ringo (1973) und Ringo?s Rotogravure (1976). Ringo Starr selbst war auf mehreren Solo-Alben seiner ehemaligen Kollegen vertreten, darunter John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band (Lennon 1970), All Things Must Pass (Harrison 1970) und Living in the Material World (Harrison 1973).
Am schwierigsten gestaltete sich die Beziehung zwischen John Lennon und Paul McCartney. McCartney griff seinen ehemaligen Partner 1971 auf einigen Stücken seines Albums Ram persönlich an. Lennon konterte seinerseits mit der bösartigen Komposition How Do You Sleep?. Erst 1972 kam es zu einer Versöhnung. Die enge Freundschaft aus Beatles-Tagen sollte sich jedoch nicht wiederbeleben lassen.
Am 12. Mai 1971 besuchten Paul McCartney und Ringo Starr die Hochzeit von Mick Jagger und Bianca Morena de Macas in Saint-Tropez. Starr spielte am 1. August auf George Harrisons Konzert für Bangladesch im New Yorker Madison Square Garden.
1972 nahmen Ringo Starr, George Harrison und John Lennon gemeinsam mit Klaus Voormann (Bass) und Billy Preston (Orgel) den Titel I?m the Greatest auf. Er erscheint 1973 auf dem Solo-Album Ringo.

April 1973 wurden die äußerst erfolgreichen Greatest-Hits-Alben The Beatles 1962?1966 und The Beatles 1967?1970, auch bekannt als ?Rotes? und ?Blaues Album?, veröffentlicht. Im Herbst kaufte Ringo Starr das Anwesen Tittenhurst Park von John Lennon, der mit Ono nach New York gezogen war. Am 2. November verklagten Lennon, Harrison und Starr ihren Ex-Manager Allen Klein wegen der Unterschlagung von Tantiemen-Zahlungen. Der Prozess wurde ein Jahr später zu ihren Gunsten entschieden.
Am 1. April 1974 nahmen John Lennon, Paul McCartney und Ringo Starr an einer Jamsession in einem Strandhaus in Santa Monica (Kalifornien) teil. Mit dabei waren u. a. Keith Moon, Harry Nilsson und Klaus Voormann. Es war das letzte Mal, dass Lennon und McCartney gemeinsam Musik machten. Am 19. Dezember versäumte John Lennon einen gemeinsamen Termin im New Yorker Plaza Hotel, bei dem die Auflösung der Beatles-Geschäftspartnerschaft offiziell besiegelt werden sollte. Er unterzeichnete den Vertrag erst eine Woche später.
Der ehemalige Roadie und enge Beatles-Freund Mal Evans wurde am 4. Januar 1976 in Los Angeles von der Polizei erschossen. Am 26. Januar lief der Beatles-Plattenvertrag mit der EMI endgültig aus. Nach einer Wiederveröffentlichung aller Beatles-Singles in Großbritannien war die Gruppe im April mit 23 Songs in den Top-100-Charts vertreten. Am 24. April, einige Wochen nachdem den Beatles eine siebenstellige Summe für eine Wiedervereinigung angeboten worden war, war Paul McCartney bei John Lennon in dessen Wohnung im New Yorker Dakota-Haus zu Gast. Abends sahen sie sich gemeinsam die NBC-TV-Sendung Saturday Night Live an, als Moderator Lorne Michaels den Beatles ?den tariflichen Mindestlohn? (ca. 1000 US-Dollar) anbot, wenn sie noch während der Show vorbeikämen. Die beiden hielten die Idee für ?cool?, aber entschieden sich dann doch gegen einen spontanen Auftritt. Einen Tag später kam McCartney erneut zu Besuch, wurde aber von Lennon an der Tür abgewiesen. Es war das letzte Treffen der beiden Musiker.
Am 2. Mai 1977 wurde der Mitschnitt des letzten Beatles-Konzerts im Hamburger Star-Club von 1962 auf einem Album veröffentlicht. Vier Tage später folgte die LP The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl, die Live-Aufnahmen aus den Jahren 1964/1965 enthält.

Oktober in London als ?erfolgreichster Komponist aller Zeiten? vom Guinness-Buch der Rekorde mit einer Rhodium-Schallplatte ausgezeichnet.

November stimmte Lennon mit seiner Unterschrift einer eidesstattlichen Erklärung zu, die ein einmaliges Beatles-Konzert als Werbekampagne für den geplanten Dokumentarfilm The Long and Winding Road vorsah.
Am 8. Dezember 1980 wurde der 40-jährige John Lennon, der gerade mit dem Album Double Fantasy sein musikalisches Comeback gefeiert hatte, vor seinem Haus in New York von dem psychisch gestörten Fan Mark David Chapman erschossen. Paul McCartney (gerade in London), George Harrison (in Henley-on-Thames) und Ringo Starr (auf den Bahamas) wurden telefonisch über den Tod ihres Ex-Partners informiert. Starr flog am 9. Dezember mit seiner Freundin Barbara Bach nach New York und besuchte Yoko Ono und Sean Lennon im Dakota-Haus. Eine Woche später trafen sich die restlichen Ex-Beatles mit Ono im Plaza Hotel, um die geschäftlichen Konsequenzen von Lennons Ermordung zu diskutieren.
?After all we went through together I had and still have great love and respect for him. I am shocked and stunned. To rob life is the ultimate robbery in life. This perpetual encroachment on other people?s space is taken to the limit with the use of a gun. It is an outrage that people can take other people?s lives when they obviously haven?t got their own lives in order.?
?Nach allem, was wir durchgemacht haben, mag und respektiere ich ihn immer noch sehr. Ich bin bestürzt und fassungslos. Jemandem das Leben zu nehmen ist der schlimmste Raub, den man im Leben begehen kann. Dieses ewige Eingreifen in den Freiraum anderer Menschen wird durch den Gebrauch einer Waffe aufs Äußerste getrieben. Es ist ein Gräuel, dass man das Leben eines anderen beenden kann, wenn man sein eigenes Leben nicht im Griff hat.?
? Presseerklärung von George Harrison
Als Ringo Starr am 27. April 1981 die Schauspielerin Barbara Bach in London heiratete, gehörten auch Paul und Linda McCartney sowie George und Olivia Harrison zu den 70 Gästen.

On 25 Oktober 1984 feierte der Paul McCartney-Kinofilm Give My Regards to Broad Street in New York Weltpremiere. Film und Soundtrack entstanden in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Ringo Starr. Im Dezember verhinderten die drei Ex-Beatles die Veröffentlichung des Albums The Beatles Sessions, das bisher unveröffentlichte Aufnahmen enthalten hätte.
Im Jahr 1985 flammten die geschäftlichen Auseinandersetzungen zwischen den Ex-Beatles erneut auf. On 25 Februar wurde Paul McCartney von George Harrison, Ringo Starr und Yoko Ono verklagt, da er angeblich seine Tantiemen-Quoten an den Beatles-Platten heimlich erhöht hatte. Am 10. August kaufte Michael Jackson für 47,5 Millionen Dollar die Rechte an allen 251 Lennon/McCartney-Kompositionen. Der unterlegene Bieter Paul McCartney war entsetzt, da Yoko Ono ihm versichert hatte, ein Angebot von fünf Millionen Dollar würde ausreichen.
Ab dem 26. Februar 1987 wurden sämtliche Beatles-Alben auf CD neu veröffentlicht. Dabei stieg Sgt. Pepper zum 20-jährigen Jubiläum bis auf Rang 3 der britischen Hitparade. Am 5.

Also hab ich mir eingeredet, er ist in den Urlaub gefahren und rief uns an, um uns zu sagen: ?Stellt einfach diese Aufnahme fertig, einverstanden? Die Kassette schick ich euch zu ? ich vertrau euch.??

Am 6. Februar 1995 nahm die Gruppe in Peasmarsh die Arbeit zu ihrer zweiten neuen Single Real Love auf. Die Produktion gestaltete sich diesmal schwieriger, da die Tonqualität des Demobandes katastrophal war. Die Vollendung der weiteren neuen Stücke, Now and Then und Grow Old with Me, wurde einen Monat später wegen Meinungsverschiedenheiten abgebrochen.
In Anwesenheit von George Martin begannen die Beatles am 22. Mai 1995 in den Londoner Abbey-Road-Studios mit der Auswahl und Abmischung der Stücke für die geplanten drei Anthology-Alben, die Outtakes und unveröffentlichte Stücke der Gruppe enthalten sollten.

Die Beatles haben während ihrer musikalischen Karriere eine beachtliche Anzahl von Rekorden aufgestellt, von denen einige bis heute Bestand haben.
Obwohl sie nur über einen Zeitraum von acht Jahren Plattenaufnahmen machten, sind die Beatles die Gruppe mit den meistverkauften Tonträgern der Welt. Laut Angaben ihrer Plattenfirma EMI beläuft sich die Menge der verkauften Einheiten auf ca. 1,3 Milliarden.
Die Beatles haben mehr Multi-Platin-Auszeichnungen erhalten als jeder andere Künstler (13 in den USA).
Die Beatles hatten mehr Nr.-1-Singles als alle anderen Gruppen oder Sänger (22 in den USA, 23 in Australien, 23 in den Niederlanden, 22 in Kanada, 21 in Norwegen, 18 in Schweden, 12 in Deutschland). Einen weiteren Nr.-1-Hit verhinderten die Beatles kurioserweise selbst, da sie Penny Lane und Strawberry Fields Forever zusammen als Doppel-A-Single veröffentlichten. Das führte dazu, dass die Verkaufszahlen und die Radioeinsätze zwischen den zwei Songs geteilt wurden. Damit verfehlten sie den Spitzenplatz der UK-Charts.
Die Beatles hatten mehr Nr.-1-Alben als andere Einzelkünstler und Gruppen (19 in den USA und 15 in Großbritannien).
Die Beatles verbrachten die meisten gezählten Wochen auf Platz 1 in den Album-Charts (132 in den USA und 174 in Großbritannien).
Die erfolgreichste erste Woche von Verkäufen für ein Doppel-Album erreichten die Beatles mit The Beatles Anthology Volume 1. Im Zeitraum vom 21. November bis 28. November 1995 wurde das Album 855.797 mal in den USA verkauft.
Lennon und McCartney sind die bisher erfolgreichsten Komponisten der Pop-Geschichte mit 28 Nr.-1-Singles in den USA für McCartney und 21 für Lennon (19 Titel wurden gemeinsam geschrieben). Lennon war verantwortlich für 21 Nr.-1-Singles in Großbritannien, und McCartney hatte dort 23 Erfolge (18 Titel wurden gemeinsam geschrieben).
Während der ersten Aprilwoche 1964 hielten die Beatles die ersten fünf Plätze der Billboard Hot 100, was niemandem zuvor gelungen war. Die fünf Titel waren Can?t Buy Me Love, Twist and Shout, She Loves You, I Want to Hold Your Hand und Please Please Me.
In der Woche des 11. April 1964 hielten die Beatles vierzehn Plätze in den Billboard Hot 100.Vor den Beatles war neun die höchste Anzahl von Titeln eines Interpreten in den Hot 100 auf einmal (Elvis Presley, 19. Dezember 1956).
Die Beatles waren die einzigen, die sich selbst zweimal auf dem ersten Platz der Billboard Hot 100 ablösten. Dieses Kunststück gelang ihnen Anfang des Jahres 1964. Dem Titel I Want to Hold Your Hand folgte She Loves You, und nach dieser Single kam Can?t Buy Me Love auf Platz 1. Boyz II Men, OutKast und Elvis Presley gelang es jeweils einmal, sich selbst direkt mit einem eigenen Titel von Platz 1 abzulösen, aber lediglich den Beatles gelang ein Three-Peat.
Die Beatles waren die ersten, die ein Lied während einer weltweiten Fernsehübertragung aufgenommen haben. Diese fand unter der Beteiligung von 26 Ländern am 25. Juni 1967 statt und hatte in aller Welt 600 Millionen Zuschauer. Jedes Land lieferte einen Beitrag, so konnte man zum Beispiel eine Geburt in Mexiko miterleben. Und man war dabei, als in England der Song der Beatles All You Need Is Love live aufgenommen wurde, und zwar im Studio 1 der Abbey Road Studios, wo sie von 1962 bis 1970 die meisten ihrer Titel aufnahmen. Viele Freunde der Beatles sangen am Ende des Songs mit, als dieser langsam ausgeblendet wurde, z. B. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Marianne Faithfull, Eric Clapton und Keith Moon.
In den USA wurden sie am 14. Juni 2005 zum sechsten Mal mit einem Diamond Award ausgezeichnet, den die Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) für mehr als zehn Millionen in den USA verkaufte Alben verleiht. Die im Jahr 2000 erschienene Greatest-Hits-Compilation 1 hatte diese imposante Zahl vor kurzem überschritten. Das in den USA bestverkaufte Beatles-Album ist noch immer das 1968 erschienene The Beatles (?White Album?). Insgesamt belaufen sich die Verkäufe von Tonträgern der Beatles in den USA auf 170 Millionen Alben (Stand 2008).
Musikalische Bedeutung
Anzüge der Beatles. 2005 im neuen HardRock-Caf in NYC.
Höfner-Bass und Gretsch-Gitarre
Die Beatles werden vielfach als wichtigste Pop-Band der 1960er-Jahre bezeichnet und haben nahezu alle Genres der Pop-/Rockmusik nachhaltig beeinflusst. Bis zum Jahr 2003 hatten sie ca. 1,3 Milliarden Tonträger verkauft. Anfänglich standen sie namengebend für die Musikrichtung des Beats. Dies war ein gitarrenlastiger Musikstil, der sich durch schnellen 4/4-Takt und eingängige Melodien auszeichnete. Seine Bedeutung liegt darin, dass er zum ersten Mal einen eigenständigen Rockstil in Großbritannien etablierte und damit eine musikalische Unabhängigkeit von den US-amerikanischen Vorbildern ermöglichte.
Ab 1964 begannen die Beatles, sich musikalisch weiterzuentwickeln und mit anderen Musikstilen zu experimentieren. So zeigt das Album Beatles for Sale deutliche Einflüsse aus der Folk- und Country-Musik. Das folgende Album Help enthält erstmals Gastmusiker, und zwar ? wie nachfolgend regelmäßig ? aus dem klassischen Bereich: unter anderem ist mit der Ballade Yesterday ein Stück zu hören, in dem der Sänger (McCartney) neben seiner Akustikgitarre nur von einem Streichquartett begleitet wird. Auf dem 1965 veröffentlichten Album Rubber Soul wurden erstmals indische Einflüsse hörbar. Das 66er Album Revolver beeindruckte durch ein breites Panoptikum unterschiedlichster Pop-Derivate. Darin zeigte sich eine wesentliche Stärke der Beatles: Sie vermochten verschiedenste Geschmäcker zu bedienen, ohne dabei ihren eigenen Charakter zu verlieren. Mit dem Album Sgt. Pepper?s Lonely Hearts Club Band von 1967 legten sie eines der ersten Konzeptalben der Popgeschichte vor, das auch von Pet Sounds der Beach Boys inspiriert ist. Sgt. Pepper war auch die erste Platte in der Popgeschichte, auf deren Cover die Texte der Lieder abgedruckt waren. Mit der Doppel-LP The Beatles ? wegen des Covers gemeinhin ?White Album?, das ?Weiße Album?, genannt ? demonstrierten die Beatles noch einmal ihr gesamtes musikalisches Spektrum, unter anderem mit Helter Skelter, einem der ersten Hard-Rock-Stücke der Rock-Geschichte.
Bedeutung für die Popkultur
Bis zu den Beatles hatten lediglich Frank Sinatra in den 1940er- sowie in den 1950er-Jahren Elvis Presley eine ähnliche Welle der Begeisterung und fanatischen Verehrung losgetreten. Dabei nahmen die Beatles gegenüber den Rolling Stones die Rolle der ?braven Jungs? ein und blieben auch textlich noch recht lange dem harmlosen Schlager treu. Doch im Rahmen der geistigen und gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen der späten 1960er-Jahre änderten die Beatles ihren Stil. Ab 1965 wurden die Texte, inspiriert durch Bob Dylan,allmählich tiefgründiger und persönlicher. Die Kompositionen und Arrangements wurden zunehmend komplexer.
In Liedern wie She Said, She Said verarbeiteten sie die ab 1966 gemachten Erfahrungen mit LSD. Sie beschäftigten sich mit indischer Spiritualität und bekannten sich 1967 zu dem Guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi und seiner Meditationstechnik. Letztlich verstanden es die Beatles meisterhaft, sich den jeweiligen gesellschaftlichen Strömungen anzupassen, ohne sich zu sehr zu exponieren. So experimentierten sie zwar 1967 mit psychedelischen Elementen in der Musik, blieben dabei aber wesentlich gemäßigter als etwa Pink Floyd zur selben Zeit. Nicht zuletzt durch ihre Filme ? insbesondere durch Yellow Submarine (1968) ? übten sie einen nachhaltigen Einfluss auf die Popkultur aus und trugen zur Entwicklung des Musikvideos bei, da sie zeitweise kurze Filme speziell für ihre neuen Single-Erscheinungen drehten und diese an die Fernsehsender schickten. Ihre Clips für Paperback Writer, Rain, Strawberry Fields Forever und Penny Lane waren somit damit die ersten Musikvideos der Popgeschichte, in denen die Band nicht einfach ihren Song spielte, sondern in denen auch andere Dinge passierten. Allerdings waren sie damals noch auf Film aufgenommen und nicht auf Video. Starr und Harrison sagten später dazu, sie hätten diese Filme gedreht, um ihre Titel nicht mehr live in Fernsehstudios präsentieren zu müssen.
