    Phil's debut solo album, and what a tour de force it is. Featuring amazing drumming (particularly in the track In the Air Tonight, but also Hand in Hand) with an eclectic set of songs that showcases Phil's desire to experiment and find his style. Recorded at a fairly soft level, it's worth turning the amp up to 11. Unfortunately, the LP I have has a slightly scratched Side B but Side A plays well.
