SIDES

This fine effort by Anthony Phillips finds him moving in a more pop-oriented commercial direction on a number of songs on this record. Unfortunately, that really isn't his nitch. Despite this, Lucy Will and I Want Your Love are pretty little songs. Um and Aargh is a catchy little song that starts the album. It is the second side of the original vinyl that wil more iinterest progheads, with fine instrumental work on Magdalen and Nightmare. Again Phillips is supported by a veritable Who's Who of players.... Michael Giles, Ray Cooper, Mel Collins, John Perry. In many ways, it is an interesting work but certainly not his most representative or his best. Despite that statement, this is an excellent recording worthy of a 4 star rating.
