Anthony Phillips - Sides (1979) [ADVD 2016] (FLAC Stereo 24bit/48kHz)

Deluxe reissue of the classic 1979 album "Sides" by Genesis founder member Anthony Phillips. Produced by Rupert Hine, Sides was Anthony's third solo album and was a superb blend of instrumental music and songs. The record saw Anthony supported by an able cast of musicians that included Mike Giles and Mel Collins (King Crimson), John G. Perry (Caravan, Quantum Jump) and John Hackett (a member of his brother Steve's band). Featuring such wonderful compositions as 'Um & Aargh', 'Sisters of Remindum', 'Bleak House', 'Lucy Will' and 'Nightmare', Sides is a classic album of the late 70s Progressive era. This deluxe edition features a new stereo mix of the album by Andy Miles & Simon Heyworth.

A first listen, Sides might only seem to be an adequate Anthony Phillips effort. Although it boasts two bona fide King Crimson members (Giles and Collins), the first half of the album consists of wry but forgettable numbers like the pop of "Um & Aargh" and the divorce kiss-off of "Holy Deadlock". But on the much better second half of the album, Phillips shows his more orchestral side on the instrumentals "Sisters of Remindum" and "Nightmare", as well as his distinctive arpeggiated guitar style on "Magdalen".
