Behind the Sun

Eric Clapton

A high-gloss 1985 collision of marital heartbreak and digital production. Scorching guitar solos cut through Phil Collins-produced synthesizers and gated drums.

Find on Amazon

It's the one where Clapton brings a flamethrower guitar to a Phil Collins synth party.

A high-tension blend of commercial 80s polish and raw, desperate guitar-driven heartbreak.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, overdriven guitar solo in Forever Man that cuts through the polished FM-radio production
The haunting, sparse title track where the synthesizers create a cold, vast space for Clapton's grief
The eight-minute slow burn of Same Old Blues where the guitar phrasing regains its Cream-era intensity
