Phil Collins è in una piccola stanza laterale negli Abbey Road Studios, che contiene solo due sedie, un tavolino, lui e la sua lattina di Red Bull, racconta Mark Ellen, che lo ha intervistato.
Ha le braccia più spesse e muscolose che si possano immaginare e due ingranaggi emotivi principali: la musica e le persone con cui ha lavorato.
Quando si trattano i tristi eventi recenti della sua vita privata sembra ridursi di dimensioni, così abbattuto e preoccupato, è come una persona completamente diversa.
"Tu chiedi", dice sollevando la sua Red Bull, "e io risponderò."
"Il numero di gennaio per chi cura una rivista è un po’ speciale... perché sembra sempre il primo, perché dona la sensazione del continuo inizio, perché esprime un po’ la magia di una rivista che nasce pensando di durare solo pochi numeri, visti i tempi oscuri dell’editoria. Invece, grazie a chi ancora ama profondamente la musica e non ha paura delle contaminazioni, il 21 di questo mese uscirà il numero 28 di Prog Italia… gennaio 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020.
Nonostante qualche “menagramo” ci siamo ancora e al domani pensiamo con allegria (rimanendo alla musica perché il panorama intorno è davvero sconfortante)… grazie
Ecco il trailer:

"Phillips has just released Strings Of Light, a set of richly melodie solo guitar music, and his first new recorded work for seven years. The 24 tracks are almost entirely acoustic and range from ruminative still-lifes, to haunting, song-like vignettes, to elegantly structured creations, to dazzling exercises in finger picking. Most were written within the past few years, but a couple, Winter Lights and Shoreline, date back to just after he left Genesis in 1970."
Anthony Phillips:
"That was the point where I started writing something vaguely original and different from just copying, and Michael Rutherford switched from being a rhythm guitarist in the school group to also trying 12-string. So we had sessions with these double 12-strings, just salivating at the sound. Playing unrelated chords at the same time, like combining a D chord with an E-minor, you get this glorious mix of notes. It was both the sound of the chords, and also picking arpeggios, broken chords, and combining different inversions across each other. It's not trying to be clever, it's trying to explore. We weren't copying anybody. It was one of those 'no road map' jobs, really."
MikeBurnes:
"Some of Phillips' new compositions on Strings Of Light seem to be in a similar style to these early explorations. Does he agree?"
Ant:
"I don't think I've ever fallen out of love with that style. I think that some of the piano stuff I do is original, but not really when compared to the 12-string area."
MikeBurnes:
"He mentions the open F-sharp tuning for The Musical Box that he worked on with Genesis as.."
Ant:
"Pretty damned weird. Immediately, you are moving into a territory where you're not going to sound like everybody else."

This is the translation of the interview published in the last issue of Prog Magazine. Mike Rutherford is also interviewed by the Italian magazine.
The new issue of Prog is on sale, with prog legends Camel gracing the cover.
“We were all in such good spirits because these shows went so well that it seemed the natural thing to celebrate with a few drinks. Now I’ve reached 70 I’m living the rock’n’roll lifestyle,” Andy Latimer tells Prog. “The new line-up has got that sense of belonging that we’ve not had since the early days of Camel.”
Anyone who saw cover stars Camel on their last tour can be in no doubt that Andy Latimer is enjoying himself these days. With the prog legends about to release their new Camel At The Royal Albert Hall DVD, celebrating the band’s return to the hallowed London venue for the first time in 42 years, we sat down with Andy and discussed those legendary live shows, where the band are at right now, and most importantly, writing new music and a possible new album.

"I'm now getting older, where you get all sorts of awards," jokes the Oscar and Grammy award winner in an interview with the "Steirerkrone"about the honorary doctorate, which the Graz University of Applied Sciences gave him on Wednesday evening.
In Graz Phil Collins took his time for the next generation and answered the questions of the students of the Kunstuni: "Do not look for the quick way to fame, for example in a casting show, but go your own way" said Phil.
On the 2nd of June he plays again on a big scale: in the Happel-Stadion in Vienna - SPECIAL
