Dance Into The Light album Product Description
Dance Into The Light album by Phil Collins was released Oct 22, 1996 on the Atlantic label. Collins, the avatar of '80s and '90s nice-guy pop, has endeared himself to millions with his earnest lyrics, lavish arrangements and guy-next-door persona. On DANCE INTO THE LIGHT, he goes worldwide, at least in a musical way. With its prominent African influence, DANCE INTO THE LIGHT represents Collins' first foray outside his American pop and R&B roots. Dance Into The Light CD music Here, Collins' hook-laden pop takes a back seat to a more worldbeat-oriented sound. One gets the impression he's been holed up with GRACELAND and the complete works of former Genesis bandmate Peter Gabriel for the last year. The rhythms, horn lines and offhand lyrics of "Wear My Hat" recall Paul Simon's "I Know What I Know," while his cover of Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin'" sounds like a combination of Gabriel's "Biko" and "Solsbury Hill." Collins maintains an overall sound consistent with his previous albums, but the focus has shifted from melody to groove. ...See Full Description

| Average Rating: |  |
| It's OK . . . As a longtime Genesis/Collins fan, I was surprised to hear Phil entering into Peter Gabriel/Paul Simon territory musically. Gabriel/Simon simply do it better. Several songs show his strength in writing about love & heartache, but the experimentation in African rhythms are a stretch. By G-man (Parts Unknown) |
| A MUST HAVE! Somehow with all the unnecessary anti-Phil sentiments in the press, this man's music has been severely overlooked, particularly the heartache of his 1993 masterpiece "Both Sides" and this 1996 collection of African rhythm-inspired numbers, plus a few tributes to the 1960's pop of the Hollies and early Beatles. Especially now, it floors me how ignored this album was at the time of it's release....tracks like River So Wide, Love Police, and The Same Moon are by far and away some of Collins' best work. The album's inspired, melodic, but most of all downright funky. If you missed it the first time around, be sure to revisit it now....well worth it!!!!! By tammy_knights (CANADA) |

| ANOTHER GOOD ALBUM FROM PHIL... ACTUALLY, PROBABLY CLOSER TO 5 STARS... I'VE BEEN A FAN OF PHIL COLLINS ALL ALONG. I CONSIDER HIM ONE OF THE GREATEST WRITERS, DRUMMERS, AND UNIQUE SINGERS OF ALL 'CLASSIC ROCK'-PLUS- TIMES! I'M VERY GLAD I CAME ACROSS THIS ALBUM AT 'CDU' AND ADDED IT TO MY COLLECTION. I WROTE TO HIM ONCE, IN A COMPLIMENTARY WAY, AND HE WAS KIND ENOUGH TO WRITE BACK, INCLUDING AN AUTOGRAPHED PICTURE, FROM ENGLAND...IT WAS EXCITING! GREAT SONGS, MUSIC...GREAT LYRICS...IF YOU'RE A FAN YOU'LL WANT TO ADD THIS ONE TO YOUR COLLECTION! By donovan.patrick (Houston, Texas)  This review is for a different format. |
