He is the cousin of Ian Wilson, better known as Ian Catskilkin, of UK Indie band Art Brut.
In 1997, Wilson joined Genesis following the departure of former vocalist and drummer Phil Collins. Genesis went on hiatus after one album, Calling All Stations, and a tour with Wilson.
Wilson went on to record a solo project called Cut_, which he has described as sounding the way the next Genesis might have sounded had the band attempted a second album with him. The album Millionairhead was released under this name.
In 2003 he released a solo album under his own name titled Change. The next year he released another studio album entitled The Next Best Thing, which included a cover of "Inside". He is currently working on a second Stiltskin album.
DJ and trance producer Armin van Buuren has produced remixes of the songs "Another Day" (retitled "Yet Another Day") and "Gypsy" from Millionairhead. Both remixes have been released on van Buuren's own albums, and "Yet Another Day" was also released as a single.

Footsteps
Ray Wilson Lyrics
You take him places I can't go
You tell him things I don't know
And even when the bonds hold fast
You make me hate the past
Walking in your footsteps
I used to walk by your side
How could you leave me
On the very edge of suicide
Suicide...
He leaves you traces I can see
He takes the things you gave to me
And even in the coldest place
I'm just an empty space
Walking in your footsteps
I used to walk by your side
How could you leave me
On the very edge of suicide
I'm lost without you
But well I know you go your own way
You never needed me no matter what you say
Walking in your footsteps
I used to walk by your side
How could you leave me
On the very edge of suicide
Suicide...
Walking in your footsteps
I used to walk by your side
How could you leave me
On the very edge of suicide
Suicide?
You tell him things I don't know
And even when the bonds hold fast
You make me hate the past
Walking in your footsteps
I used to walk by your side
How could you leave me
On the very edge of suicide
Suicide...
He leaves you traces I can see
He takes the things you gave to me
And even in the coldest place
I'm just an empty space
Walking in your footsteps
I used to walk by your side
How could you leave me
On the very edge of suicide
I'm lost without you
But well I know you go your own way
You never needed me no matter what you say
Walking in your footsteps
I used to walk by your side
How could you leave me
On the very edge of suicide
Suicide...
Walking in your footsteps
I used to walk by your side
How could you leave me
On the very edge of suicide
Suicide?

The Rising Ape
One of my favourite albums of the day, and a brilliant song. Never got the recognition they deserved.

great track. First time I have seen the video. Reminds me of starting Uni for the first time as I listened to the top 40 the day after I moved into my student digs and this was a new entry at 34. It was the best new entry that week and was the first single I bought at Uni as I bought the 7" at Volume records in Sunderland. Should have done much better in the charts though (it fell to 54 the next week!)

Hi, Ray.
This was my very first rock album I ever had. If you are ever in the Gdańsk area, I'd love to have the original tape signed by you.
Mark S

Accidentally having once heard the beatiful song "Inside" on television, I bought the cassette with the great album "The Mind's Eye" having spent a very large part of the money that I received per month. Here

the beatiful song "Footsteps" sounds very great too.
