This is very good album. Biko – the track – gets most attention, but there are plenty of other interesting songs like “Not One of Us” and “Intruder”. The album oozes sinister.
I think if the production on the album weren’t so cold, I’d listen to the album a lot more than I do (which is basically never). I find the sound quite thin and harsh – on tracks like No Self Control, I Don’t Remember, etc., I always wish the music would sound fuller, warmer, “bigger”.
The versions on Plays Live are so much better to my ears, his reworking of No Self Control in particular is beautiful.

Ha! That would have been a good advertising campaign – “Get Peter’s new album – it oozes sinister!”
Love “No Self Control.”. Intense, provocative, dramatic, and one of Phil’s best drum performances ever.
This is an outstanding album and is the very best of any Genesis members solo work. On that note Family Snapshot is the highlight song for me.
