Calling All Stations (song)

"Calling All Stations" (working title: "Katmandu") is the first track on a Genesis' 1997 album of the same title.

A strong album opener, it is also the first track Banks and Rutherford worked on during the album sessions. While they wanted to achieve a rock-based opening, they also wanted to keep some kind of a dark mood. The final versions starts with strong drums and keyboard progression, with some rising tension finally bursting into Ray Wilson vocals. Written in E minor (like "No Son of Mine"), it includes some live drums by Nir Zidkyahu, but also keeps some drum machine from the initial sessions.
