El Rey’s Miami Vice marathon continues… of course, Vice and Phil Collins are eternally linked, from the very first episode. I don’t know too many people who care for Phil anymore, especially amongst my musician friends. I know, I know, he (and Genesis) wound up spreading the cheese pretty thick. I know, I know, Phil’s no Peter Gabriel… who is, besides PG? But I’ll tell ya, Phil made 2-3 really good albums. Really good. C’mon, admit it. Hell, anyone who recorded an album-and-a-half’s worth about his nasty, cheating ex-wife and the number she did on his head… Including this song, which features the badass Moog Taurus bass pedal generating that famously wicked tone.
