Anthology - Crispian St. Peters

Advantages: Crispian ingenious originality
Disadvantages: disadvantages? - Are you mad?

...Yeah baby! Crispian Mills my God and all time love, I just wanted to say how sad I was about the split of Kula Shaker, the truely wonderful ingenious indianified band of the last century, theirs is a sound that will be missed and nothing more so than in this album - K! How better to start an album off than with the greatness of Hey Dude! What song can truely send you on a Friday night mission when your plastered looking for that little bit of honey to illeviate the pain?

I thought that was great and soon started getting a couple other Genesis albums to go with it...I now have all of the Phil Collins era on tape and CD..plus a couple of LPs including Trick of the Tail, Duke and Abacab. I also bought the Calling All Stations album with Ray Wilson as lead singer when Phil left the band, but the less said about that album for the minute the better!
