Those fans of progressive music who stick their fingers down their throat at the mention of the name "Phil Collins" may not be familiar with this piece of work. If they were, they may think that Phil may deserve a bit of redemption before being cast to purgatory. Getting a bit bored with the recording of "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway", and Genesis' direction in general, Phil satisfied his interest in fusion by forming one of the best fusion outfits around. Here Phil gets to let his hair down (or however much he had back then), and his drumming has never been as powerful as it is on "Unorthodox Behaviour." The compositions stay away from the fusion pitfall of "pick a key and see how fast you can solo," but instead show a band with a good sense of melody. As a result, the album itself never ceases to shine nor does it sound outdated. The personnel for this album are Phil Collins, drums and percussion; John Goodsall, guitars; Percy Jones, bass; and Robin Lumley, keyboards.
