Anthology
Whether or not you're aware that Phillips was one of the original founding members of Genesis can be either a bad thing, or a good thing. It has to be said that the early Genesis were, and always will, remain a fave with the hard core of Genesis fans. The latter, and unofficially renamed the Phil Collins Band seem now to have become hardly a passing phase. Phillips quit to stage fright, allegedly, although listening to this album it's a good thing he did! (we might not have had such a catalogue of Phillips' solo albums). As you may well have gathered, Anthology is an album that has a selection of songs, or pieces from either existing or to-be-released albums on Blueprint. And, as such, it's a very eclectic mix of material. One or two pieces are firmly entrenched in the 70s (down to the instruments rather than the songs), whereas others are simply timeless. Not only is this a great album to play any time, it's also a good way of checking out his work - very overlooked, if I might say. Correct it now.
