They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5
Active compensatory factors: Anthony Phillips was once the lead guitarist in Genesis, albeit briefly. He left the band in 1970, after their Trespass album, to pursue a solo career.

After taking some time to improve his musicianship, The Geese & The Ghost was his first solo album in 1977. It's pretty close to the sound Genesis were all about on Trespass and both Mike Rutherford and Phil Collins appear on the album.
It's a very arty album, and it sounds luvverly, but there's not a lot of substance to the material. Still, it floats on by effortlessly.
Where do they all belong? I'm not tempted to buy more of his catalogue.
