A TRICK OF THE TAIL

Wasn't sure I liked this at first. It's quite a roller-coaster musically, being at times frenetic, full of energy, NOISY, and next moment soothing, mellow, only to take off again. But the overall craftsmanship, the keyboarding ties it all together. This does have an experimental, progressive sound about it. A lot of people were struck by the remarkable similarity between the voices of Phil Collins and the recently departed Peter Gabriel. Phil stepped into the role admirably. This is a classic.
