Anthony Phillips – Aubade
Biography
—
Anthony PHILLIPS was one of the original founding members of Genesis featuring Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, and Michael Rutherford. Following “Trespass”, GENESIS’ second album, PHILLIPS left (purportedly due to stage fright) and was replaced by Steve Hackett. Nothing was heard again from Anthony until 1977, when he favored us with his first solo, “The Geese and the Ghost”, although PHILLIPS wasn’t the first member of the band to release a solo album (that honor goes to Steve HACKETT, by releasing “Voyage of the Acolyte”, in 1975). A more commercial audience was courted on “Wise After The Event” and “Sides”, to no avail, and PHILLIPS spent much of his time releasing instrumental pieces (both old and new) under the “Private Parts & Pieces” series. Steeped in classical, pre-Baroque, and folk influences, he was able to record entire albums featuring only his acoustic instrument. He is one of the world’s masters on the twelve string guitar and piano compositions that hark back to GENESIS’ original lost innocence. His studio recordings reveal a distinctive character to his compositions on those instruments as well.

Oh my god Anthony... I never knew he was so prolific, spending so much time in studio recording all this amazing music. Truly one of my favourite guitarists ever.

"The Geese & The Ghost" was a great introduction to his music, now I'm curious about his "Private Parts And Pieces" saga!

I'm a fan of Genesis but I realize now that it's probably because of this guy. This guy and Peter Gabriel.

These albums deserve to be reproduced in their full 12" glory! The cover paintings are full of detail, wit and inventiveness. Most of the covers have tiny versions of the previous covers visble, eg Private Parts 1 has the minstrel from Geese playing under the tree on the right and of course the squirrel from Wise after the event. Check them out - but in a CD case you'll need a magnifying glass :)
