There is no doubt that while Tony made an extremely valuable contribution to Genesis' compostion, he obviously needed to do his own thing, and this album shows just that. His solo compostions for Genesis were among their finest (who could forget "Mad Man Moon", "Burning Rope" or "One for the Vine") and he simply had so much to offer in terms of his own work, that he had to have an outlet outside the band. Here one can appreciate the results of his free rein and enjoy some fine Banks tunes. It was sad that his solo work never sold well, but he used his winning writing formula on this album to good effect. A good choice of vocalist and some excellent backup musicians truly enhance the brilliant keyboard playing throughout this album. Tony, we salute you!

If you liked the clever quiet and twiddly up and down bits in early Genesis and you don't go much on the band after Wind and Wuthering, you'll like this album. Add to it Mike Rutherford's Smallcreep's day (and possibly Gabriel's Solsbury Hill), and you can say goodbye to any withdrawal symptoms you've been experiencing.

What can I say? This is Tony Banks showing the world what he does best! Often underrated as a contribution and driving force to Genesis his solo work lets us all realise the awe inspiring creativity that he posesses. I would highly recomend this album to anyone who is a true music fan be they a fan of Genesis or not. This is an album that truely deserves to be recognised as a work in it's own right.

One of the best Genesis albums that never was
This is just amazing, both Tony and Mike bring out solo albums that sound remarkably similar. Even their individual choise of vocalists sound remarkably similar. Read more
