3 stars I am a compromised fan of Genesis-Gabriel Era. This release is a kind of middle age crisis with Gabriel trying to escape from Genesis memories and fighting for find his own emotions and music.

Anyway this album has great songs such as "Moribund the Burgermeister", with Gabriel's voice at the peak of his career. There is some songs that sound like radio hits as "Solsbury Hill" and "Slowburn". Also there is deep, beauty and very personal songs such as "Humdrum" and the classical "Here Comes the Flood"... And one -maybe the only one- real prog song of the album, the epical "Down the Dolce Vita"

For this album Gabriel worked with superb musicians as Tony Levin, Steve Hunter, Robert Fripp and Larry Fast (Synergy). The result is not bad but neither good. Anyway, I really enjoy this album yet. For me, looks like a lost album made by Genesis.
