The Geese & the Ghost is the first studio album by English musician and songwriter Anthony Phillips, released in March 1977 on Hit & Run Music in the United Kingdom and Passport Records in the United States. It was originally intended to be an album by Phillips and his former Genesis band mate Mike Rutherford, but Rutherford's difficulty in devoting time to the project ended the idea. The album reached number 191 on the Billboard 200.
The Geese And The Ghost - Part 1 (Basic Track). Piano – Anthony Phillips. 2-5. Which Way The Wind Blows (Basic Track). Michael Rutherford and Phil Collins appear through the courtesy of Atlantic Records. CD 1 Recorded at Send Barns Studios, Argonaut Galleries. Original remix and completion at Trident and Olympic Studios.
Thus, The Geese & the Ghost comes off as a sort of throwback, picking up stylistically where Trespass or Nursery Cryme (check out the second part of the title track) left off nearly six years earlier
There are many fantastic compositions on this album, and some rather stellar performances from a few Genesis people. The style of the music is classical, soft ballads, and pastoral.
Master of Time (Demo), 07:38. Title Inspiration, 00:33. The Geese and the Ghost, Pt. 1 (Basic Track), 07:48. God If I Saw Her Now, 04:14. Now playing: DNCE Cake By The Ocean. Земля plus (Earth plus). Lorena - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing (by Aerosmith).
Anthony Phillips' first post-Genesis solo album was an extension of the pseudo-medieval folk elements found on Trespass, the last of his Genesis albums. Portions of the material here, in fact, seem to have been derived from pieces they composed together in Genesis' early days that proved unsuitable for performance on-stage
