The Revelation Station

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 experience, must step up to save the day. But navigating a disaster isn't easy when you're surrounded by so-called stars who are a little too in character, a disgruntled hijacker with an axe to grind, and a literal, impatient Grim Reaper waiting in the aisles.From arguments over the flavor of in-flight crisps to a desperate attempt to break into the cockpit using a magic wand, Gary and Simon must face their inevitable end with a touch of wit and a lot of luck. Can this unlikely duo pull off a landing they can walk away from, or is their flight path truly terminal?Peter Gabriel i/o tour reviewCOMING UP: The Circus & The Nightwhale by Steve HackettThanks for listening to this episode.

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 Skyr and stolen spoons. From stinky cheese-filled luggage to high-speed skidoo chases across the tundra, Simon and Gary must outrun a supernatural curse that was never meant for them.They survived the end of the world… but can they survive a traditional Icelandic Christmas?Merry Christmas and thanks for listening to this episode.

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.

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 his “Return to Tumbleweed” tour.Burn Down The Mission became a much loved Crimson live song, appearing on the “Live Songs In Aspic” double album in 1977. This cover is taken from the Elton John biopic “In The Wake of Elton” released on 1991, performed by actor Phil Collins as part of his starring role as Elton himself. Sadly, the film was a flop so you’ve probably not heard this version.Thanks for listening to this episode.

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 won an Oscar and everything.Thanks for listening to this episode.

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 Colling and Peter Habriel. It seems like only last year that the band won an Oscar for “Best Biopic” for the movie about the making of Calling All Stations. Who can forget Liam Neeson’s incredible turn as Ray, or Tom Hanks as Tony Banks?But I digress. Enjoy this peek into the early years, with the Guaranteed Pure song “Swing Your Bag”.Thanks for listening to this episode.

Well hello there Stationeers, this is a lovely surprise, come in come in.I’ve just got a new Jukebox episode all ready for you, a bit of a rare one this time. I’ll be listening to the debut single by actor turned singer Phil Collins, In The Air Of The Night. This is a little song about how a man was drowning and another man could have helped but didn’t. So the story goes, Phil saw it all and then later at a concert he found him! Can you believe that?Anyway, I’ve never heard this song, it wasn’t very popular back in the day, although Phil did release a few more records he never sold much and soon went back to his movie career. A shame as this song shows some real potential.Anyway, that’s enough from me, have a listen to the episode and see what you think of this obscure gem.Thanks for listening to this episode.
