Face Value - (Remastered, Softpak, Dolby Atmos) - [Blu-ray]

The album Face Value transformed Phil Collins in 1981 from a drummer in Genesis into a global solo artist. The album is a deeply personal work, written in the wake of his divorce from his first wife. Instead of going the pure pop route, Collins channeled his emotions into an album that unites soul, art-pop, and R&B in a cohesive and emotional expression.Face Value is especially known for its groundbreaking production – not least the iconic "gated reverb" drum sound, which came to define the sound of the 1980s. It is most clearly heard on the classic "In the Air Tonight" with arguably rock history's most famous drum break.The album also showcases Collins' musical versatility. With assistance from the Phenix Horns (known from Earth, Wind & Fire), tracks like "I Missed Again" are infused with a distinct funk energy, while the subdued, folk-influenced "The Roof Is Leaking" stands in stark contrast to his experimental interpretation of The Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows". Face Value was not only the start of an outstanding solo career but also proof that a deeply personal album could be both artistically ambitious and an enormous commercial success.Face Value is now being released as an exclusive Blu-ray Audio Disc with a brand-new Dolby Atmos mix, 5.1 Surround Sound Mix, and new stereo mix performed by Steven Wilson. Also includes the 2016 remaster of the original album.
