PHIL COLLINSYOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN...
First of all, let me tell you what I wanted to achieve with the Phil Collins' baistophe. I wanted something that those who don't like Mr. Collins or those who grew tired of his pop ballads and blue-eyed soul would enjoy. I know it was not an easy task to achieve and, while trying to do it, I thought several times that I would fail. Gladly, I think I didn't.
One thing I failed at is that I really wanted to include at least one song per album. But "Dance into the Light" and "Testify" are so pathetic that I couldn't. It's embarrassing actually that, even when a song has some potential, it gets ruined by poor artistic choices deeming it unfit for duty.
So, what you're having here is a 79 minutes and 51 seconds compilation including songs from 6 of the 8 (and, strangely enough, not the one I chose for a title) of Phil Collins releases listed in the artwork. I chose not to include songs from any of the soundtracks baldy participated to too because these tunes, though some of them have a catchy melody, would have seemed strange here.
I hope you'll enjoy listening to this compilation as much as I did cooking it. And don't be shy, tell me what you think, leave some comments.

This is great. I'm not ashamed. I would love to see a volume 2 focused on his pop side.
I think that "pop" volume is already available in stores... No need, then, for me to make one of my own... ;)
