About this album

Sides is a finely crafted 1979 solo album that shows Anthony Phillips turning prog complexity into graceful, highly melodic song forms. Best known as Genesis’ original guitarist, Phillips built a distinctive post-Genesis career around detailed guitar work, reflective moods and carefully layered arrangements. Sides draws on art rock and progressive rock without sounding overstated, balancing instrumental texture with tuneful, compact writing. Its quietly assured approach helped confirm Phillips as one of British progressive music’s most elegant and underrated composers, making the album a strong example of late-1970s prog that favours precision, atmosphere and musical craft over excess.
