NEM#62: Anthony Phillips: Private Pieces, Soundtrack Parts, and Prog Rock

Anthony was the original guitarist and a key songwriter in Genesis from '67–'70, released some prog rock albums in the '70s, then shifted largely to a mix of acoustic guitar pieces and synth soundscapes, often for soundtracks. We discuss "Nocturne" from Seventh Heaven (2012, with Andrew Skeet), "From the Jaws of Death - Touching the Face of God" from Wildlife (recorded 1999) and "Magdalen" from Sides (1979). We then listen to "Sanctuary" from Private Parts & Pieces VIII: New England (1992). Opening music: "F# Demo (The Musical Box, Instrumental)" from 1970. End music: "Mystery Train III" from Private Parts & Pieces XI: City of Dreams (2012). For more information, see anthonyphillips.co.uk Hear more Nakedly Examined Music. Like our Facebook page.
