A CURIOUS FEELING

Tony Banks has never enjoyed the kind of success outside of Genesis that perhaps he deserved. However this his first offering is a disappointing affair. For me the biggest let down is the vocals they simply don't seem to fit the music very well. This is something of a surprise because in string driven thing her voice worked very well, and the thing could rock a little. The drumming is OK, but somehow it doesnt drive the music at all. What we have is a very inoffensive set of songs that showcase Tony's keyboard. If you really liked Duke in particular you might find something here to your taste. I still have this record which I bought at the release date, but its not been played a great deal. Its OK to play at a gathering when you don't want something that intrudes to much. There are some very nice passages but nothing that you will be humming later. A forgettable recording sums it up nicely I think.
