Customer Reviews

Excellent Anthony!

This CD is absolutely phenominal. I don't know what those otherguys were hearing, but I have been a musician since the age of9 years old (I am now 46) and this CD sounds fantastic to me!I bought the LP back around 84 and listened to it hundreds oftimes. Still sounds just as great as any of Anthony's pieces.Wish that he could have been more successful with this andmaybe some of his fans in the USA could have seen him tour.I f you like Genesis ,Trespass through Duke, you will most likelybe able to appreciate the enourmous amount of creativity goingon here. Traces is a favorite! Anthony is severely underrated!

DEFINITIVE MASTER STROKE

This is it. This is Phillips' definitive work. Here, he competes with fellow/ex-bandmates Mike, Tony, Phil and Peter and shows his replacement STEVE HACKETT that he is in their league when it comes to writing strong yet interesting music. The heavy handed GOING FOR BROKE has the flair that one gets accustomed to when one is a GENESIS fan. He just rips it up on this track. The ghostly and melodic FALLING FOR LOVE AGAIN is as good as anything you'll hear in this genre. LOVE IN A HOT AIR BALLOON and GURU are sublime as is the humorous GOLDEN BODIES. A wide range of emotion and thought is explored and the result is the absolute defining Phillips album. Look out Phil, Mike, Tony, Peter and Steve.
