Next album ="Invisible Men" is an album by
Anthony Phillips released in March, 1984.This album features a political angle due to the 1982
Falklands War betweenArgentina and theUnited Kingdom . During the conflict anExocet missile struck a British warship and killed 20 crew members. Also an Argentine musician friend of Ant's (Quique Berro ) had to leave the United Kingdom. The track 'Exocet' and 'The Women Were Watching' illustrate Anthony's anger over the conflict and how it affected his friend.The ending of 'Exocet'; featuring a fragment of a Falklands war report was actually a recording error but Ant kept it in, it makes a dramatic impression even now. Indeed, "Exocet" was deemed a little too political even to be on the original UK issue of the album but was on the American issue.As the sleeve notes on the 1996 Blueprint BP211CD issue state "The running order has been switched to that of the originally intended one"
