Anthony Phillips: Prelude '84 (RCA)

It's about time that the ex-Genesis guitarist received the attention his undoubted talent warrants, and this release is surely the one to bring him to a wider audience.  Its moody, sepulchral tones are so powerful that it can be readily appreciated even out of context.  Certainly it should convert the person whose wallet won't stretch as far as the album; and the Genesis sound is not as dated as their critics would have us believe!
