The message from Martin Ridgley rises higher:
LM> I consider it the lost Yes album in the same way I consider _Voyage
LM> of the Acolyte_ to be the lost Genesis album.
MR> What's this? Is it an Anthony Phillips or Steve Hackett solo album
MR> or something?
It's Hackett's first solo album. About half of it is very very good,
but the other half rather annoys me. _Please Don't Touch_ is more to my
liking.
MR> For what it's worth, I've got Phillips _The Geese and the Ghost_
MR> (1977), plus Hackett's _Please Don't Touch_ (1978) and _Spectral
MR> Mornings_ (1979). I've also got all the Genesis albums from 1969 to
MR> 1980, but after _Duke_ the group did nothing for me.
I like parts of every Genesis album after _Duke_, but _Duke_ is the last
one that I liked all the way through. Still, "Dodo/Lurker" from
_Abacab_ is a favorite of mine as is "Second Home By The Sea" from
_Genesis_. Oh yeah, and "Do The Neurotic" and "Feeding The Fire" from
the _Invisible Touch_ sessions are good but were released only as
B-sides.
