When writing this I hadn't yet listened to his soundtrack albums and since then I've developed a small fondness for the soundtrack to The Wicked Lady (a film I've never seen and don't have a particular interest in seeing). The orchestral side is a letdown, just a lot of cheesy generic Hollywood stuff, but the first side is a solid set of crossover prog instrumentals that's worth hearing in its own right.

I've never seen The Wicked Lady film either, but I really like the soundtrack. Thumbs Up

If you're still unsure about Tony Banks & Wang Chung together, then maybe you haven't heard the epic  Island in the Darkness. Thumbs Up

5 stars 2018: Tony Banks - Five - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrOS9uTOtsdpvMYZqpdZmGwKpzNQlgQaE

Tony Banks' Renaissance - the movie score that never was, sounding almost as good as Ennio Morricone! Thumbs Up

I like his work with Empire, too, except when it sounds like Yes. But yes, I get it :)
