Anthony Phillips: the “Missing Links I-IV” box set - BUY
Anthony Phillips has released remastered versions of his four original "Missing Links" albums in a 5-CD box set.

The collection gathers the library of Ant and music for television from 1976 onwards. It also includes a 27-track disc of rare and unreleased material.
The very first "Missing Links" was released in a limited edition in 1989 and, although the four original volumes of the series were subsequently released on CD, they have been no longer available for some years, but exchanged between collectors:

Press Review: “My years with Genesis”, Anthony Phillips talks about Prog Italia
Anthony Phillips on Prog Italy talk about the recent album Strings Of Light and reveals some anecdotes dating back to the years with Genesis.
By Lucio Curti
Select Language
English 
Italiano
"You couldn't have chosen a better time!", Anthony Phillips exclaims answering the phone. "I just took the tea bag out of the teapot and wet my nails with it olive oil: it's all for you ".
These are the words with which it begins the telephone meeting between Mike Burnes of Prog Italy ed Anthony Phillips.
The interview will end up revealing why Ant gets his nails wet with olive oil, but he also tells details on the recent Strings Of Light album where you can listen to the twenty-four tracks in 5.1 Surround version. "Maybe it's a slightly bizarre choice, given that in most pieces there is only one guitar that plays, but in a couple of places where there are various twelve-string guitars we had fun inserting effects and cross-fades, in order to give the whole a different spatiality ", explains Phillips.
And it reveals new anecdotes aboutthe years with Genesis.
For example some compositional moments with Mike Rutherford: "When we played different chords simultaneously, as a D major e
a minor E, a set of came out creepy notes. Could have been agreements, but also arpeggios, rhythmic parts, revolts ... it's not that we wanted to be extravagant a all costs, we were just trying to hopelie and understand what we could bring out without copying anyone. We went to the cieca, without precluding us any possibility ".
Ant also tells his passion for guitars; he managed to accumulate almost 100 pieces. There is the Francisco Simplicio classical guitar made in Barcelona in 1931. "I consider myself lucky to have such a memorabilia. His age reveals himself with the sound so warm and round. Undoubtedly the possibility of using this type of instruments adds a fa-
particular part of the compositions ", he reveals in the interview.
And it owns an old man is an Italian mandolin, built by Antonio Vinaccia even in 1789, of which he says: "I'd like to know his story. It was the period of the French revolution in which some heads began to roll, who knows what bad shows he witnessed. Too bad he can't tell us about them".
