ARK 2 (1969)
THE PLANETS
As astrologers and a whole Holst of composers and writers have assured us,the planets have characters of their own,exerting their influence on Earth,their strength diluted by the distance and each others powers.But ever since their colonisation by man they have become corrupted by earthly values and they too are doomed.In passing,here is a brief survey of the solar scene.
MARS - Bringer of War...
Even in an age of enlightenment,bloody pointless wars continue:men apparently still must fight and die ingloriously.
VENUS - Bringer of Peace...
Love has become mere sexual tittilation - more orasms than ever,and less satisfaction.
MERCURY - The winged messenger has a familiar message...
the reduction of electronic marvels to the ultimate in inanity.Communication and non-communication have become one.
JUPITER - Bringer of Jollity...
Tranquillity and a sort of soggy happiness are induced and maintained by the latest stimulants and sedatives.Turning on has become as routine as an old-time cocktail party way back when.
SATURN - Bringer of Old Age...
Thanks to the strange skills of transplant surgery a man's body can attain piecemeal immortality.But burnt out brain cells can't be peplaced.Not just yet.
URANUS - The Magician...
The anylyst's couch is the sole refuge for the disturbed personality,all deviations from the norm can be explained away and fixed up: Perfect integration - but dull.
NEPTUNE - The Mystic...
has become a substitute for God,constantly inciting man to more lunitic antics in his search for the meaning of it all.
THIS THEN,IS MAN'S LAST TRIP...................................................................................

Shortly after his 60th birthday, Phil Collins announced his retirement to raise his two sons and it appears that "Going Back" was his swan song. With all that is so well known about him so readily available to everyone, it's so good to see and hear where it all began when he was 18. Thank you so much for posting this!
