5 stars A wonderful first outing for this Genesis founder and escapee. ANT teams up with old mate MIKE RUTHERFORD and borrows vox from the recently auditioned PHIL COLLINS. The result is magic. This is not mainstream Prog music, but it is the finest prog/orchestral/baroque/folk record out there! (try to find that heading in your local music store!) Phil's two tracks are perfect. "Henry: Portrait of Tudor Times" is an epic score, coming in at only 12:11. Perfectly condensed, tight, picturesque - PHILLIPS does in 12 minutes what takes some artists an entire CD to convey. "Sleepfall: The geese Fly West" is pure beauty. If it doesn't move you, don't panic, it simply means that you don't have a soul! This is a one-of-a-kind album. They don't make'em like this before, or after. I will buy this title for anyone who smashes their "Susudio" CD in the lobby of a Virgin MegaStore.
