About this album

Anthony Phillips’s 1984 is a striking concept album that fuses synth-pop, electronic colour and progressive rock ambition. Issued in 1981, it takes its cue from Orwell’s dystopia while turning the idea into a richly melodic instrumental and vocal statement. Phillips, best known as Genesis’s original guitarist, uses layered keyboards, guitar and carefully constructed themes to create a record that is both futuristic and classically composed. The album stands out in his solo catalogue for its conceptual scope and for bridging prog’s narrative instincts with the colder sheen of early-1980s electronic music.
