Title: Imagination, Innovation
Review: You listen to albums like "Foxtrot" and you mourn for the lack of imagination and creativity in most of today's music. There are parts of "Foxtrot" that are a tad over the top and a wee bit silly, but the sheer nerve and verve, the willingness to take chances and the musical virtuosity effectively more than compensate. I understand that "Foxtrot" will be getting another sonic makeover early in 2008. I hope more care is rendered to that project than the current (2007) re-issues from the Phil Collins era which lost too much of their musicality in a sea of increased volume and sonic compression. If they are going to tinker with "Foxtrot", let's hope they tinker lightly.
