Wise After the Event is the second studio album by British musician and composer Anthony Phillips, released in May 1978 at Arista Records in the United Kingdom and in June 1978 at Passport Records in the United States. After promoting previous album The Geese & amp; Ghost (1977), Phillips began preparing material for the new album. It remains the only album that presents itself on the main vocals in every song.

Produksi
In March 1977, Phillips released his debut solo album, The Geese & amp; Ghost . Around that time it was extinguished, Phillips was considering continuing his education and returning to music college but his album was "enough" for him to continue making the album. Phillips recalls that the rise in punk rock in England at the time of The Geese & amp; Ghost increases his pressure to write more commercial songs and sends hit singles. He has started an instrumental album based on Tarka the Otter , but the project is suspended due to his difficulty in securing a record deal. In such a climate, Phillips found himself "forced" to create a new studio album of "mainstream pop songs" that he had never really felt comfortable with, and lacked confidence in the material he had written himself. He started by putting ideas in his home studio using a TEAC 4-track tape machine and a Revox 2-track recorder.
After preparing the idea collection, Phillips presented it to producer Rupert Hine and sessions of musician Michael Giles on drums and John G. Perry on bass; the three trained him for a week at Giles' home studio in Dorset, Surrey, and recorded tracks developed into 4-track tape. After Phillips gets a deal with Arista Records, the original plan is for Wise After the Event to be released as an album with EP additional material that accompanies it. Artist Peter Cross began designing the cover art when the decision was made, but when the decision was made to remove the EP Cross had moved to another project and there was not enough time to fix the hidden design, resulting in a mismatch with the sequence running the track. This was fixed on a 1990 CD reissue.
Unreleased music was released in 1980 on Phillips' next album Personal & amp; Piece II: Return to the Pavilion, the second in a series of "generic" albums that feature ideas, demos, and censored recording. This includes three short sections of the tracks planned and sorted for previous albums: "Chinaman" is based on the introduction to "Paperchase"; "Romany's Aria" is part of "We All as We Lie" is played upside down; "Von Runkel's Yorker Music" was previously titled "Sitars and Nebulous". Back to the Pavilion includes two additional songs, "Tremulous" and "Magic Garden", that date from the Wise After the Event session. Maps Wise After the Event
Recording
Wise After the Event was recorded from October to December 1977. The first session lasted two weeks in October at Essex Studios in London, using a 16-track engine with Dolby reduction in sound. This was followed by sessions in November and December at Manor Mobile studios and The Farmyard, a facility in Buckinghamshire. Here, the final backing track is recorded and transferred to 24-track to record overdubs. The last session took place in December 1977 at CBS Studios in London. After the recording finished, the album was mixed in December 1977 and January 1978 at Trident Studios in London. Small overdubs were recorded in the studio, including guitar solos on "Birdsong". The orchestra session for "Regret" took place on December 6, 1977, and was recorded onto a 24-track.
"Wise After the Event" featured Phillips playing the 12-string Rickenbacker guitar he bought at Manny's Music in New York City. For guitar effects he uses BOSS Chorus Esemble pedals and compressor Dyna Comp for chord-based settings. He said it took effort for Giles to "let him go" on drums because he was used to playing in a tight and precise style, and Phillips wanted more than filling his drumming fast. Phillips is credited for playing drums on Wise After the Event , and causes problems during recording as he finds himself gradually accelerating as he plays. Giles advised him to practice at home over the weekend and play for the metronome to raise his time.
Release and acceptance
Wise After the Event was released in May 1978 at Arista Records in the United Kingdom and in June 1978 at Passport Records in the United States. "We All as We Lie" was released as singles with "Squirrel" and "Sitars and Nebulous" paired on the B-side. "Squirrel" then reunited with the album as a bonus song on the publication of the 1990 anniversary.
English Magazine Hi-Fi News & amp; Record Reviews wrote: "The soft strums, songs and keyboard waves symbolize" albums that have "Mike Oldfield's touch lightly for it" are "excellent for opportunities". One reviewer for the Beat magazine in 1979 noted it as "the perfect antidote to the weary nerves". Rob Patterson for The Bismarck Tribune gave a brief positive review, noting the album was "a soft, delicate, but very tasteful piece of the now famous voice [Genesis]", and ends with: "A joyous return." Chris Carson for Press & amp; Sun-Bulletin thinks the album is not as successful as The Geese & amp; Ghost where Phillips "has the right idea" to play his own instruments and leave vocals to others. Carson compared the album's sound to the original Genesis when Phillips was a member, but did not like the singing that failed to achieve the quality of the album's guitar production. "The result is a very tedious album, and a real struggle even for devout Genesis fans to get through." Jane Seigendall for 
Reissues
In 1990, Wise After the Event was released on CD by Virgin Records, with "Squirrel" as the bonus track. This was followed by a 2-CD remastered edition that was released in July 2007 in Japan by Arcangelo Records with a limited edition mini-vinyl arm. Included are "Squirrel" and discs of 14 previously unreleased and out-takes demo tracks. A standard version of CD gems was released in the UK by Voiceprint Records in May 2008.
In February 2016, Esoteric Records released a 4-disc Deluxe Edition with a new stereo blend completed in 2016, the second CD containing the same bonus material as the 2008 Voiceprint release, and a third CD with the original remastered stereo mix version. The fourth disc is a DVD that contains new 5.1 surround sound. All mixes are completed using original multi-track master cassettes. Also includes 20-page posters and booklets with extensive photo and liner notes. Phillips is considering returning to its original concept and presenting it with the accompanying EP and with the sequence of previously planned tracks, but decides not to do so with the idea of ​​incorporating music links because people will get used to how the album was released.
