From Progressive Rock to Classical

As a founding member and driving force of the progressive rock band, Genesis, Tony Banks provided exceptionally brilliant and full sounding keyboards as well as the basis of the Genesis sound. In addition to the creative genius within Genesis, Tony has also done a number of solo albums from A Curious Feeling to Strictly Inc.

Finally, in 2004, he released his first classical album giving his listeners a chance for the first time to hear an orchestra playing his unique styling of melody and chords. Many have related his style to being Mahler-like. However, his use of chords with soundtrack like melodies to express feelings, emotions, and beauty still seems completely unique to him.

When listening to this album, try not to think of rocker turned classical because as a progressive musician he has always added a sense of the classics to his music. Instead, listen to Tony Banks, Modern Classical Composer!
