WISE AFTER THE EVENT

Another brilliant effort from Genesis' original guitarist, this recording features the support of former King Crimson drummer Michael Giles, John Perry (Caravan) on bass, Mel Collins (King Crimson, Camel) on saxophone and flutes. Phillips handles the vocals and under the fictitious name of the Vicar, handles piano as well. There is an embarrassment of riches when it comes to rich lyrics and high quality musicianship. The music is subtle and graceful. This is a great place to start for those looking to explore Phillips' music. There is a tremendous sense of aestetics and sensitivity to his guitar playing that is inimitable.
