   That's one album I always thought I should get... seems like a good opportunity.

	This is great news as I have a lot of time for this album. I remember my brother and listening to this LP over and over again throughout the summer of 1982.

	Love this album. Great to see it getting some respect and attention. Let's hope they clean up the sound on it as it did not seem properly produced the first time 'round.

	The notorious three's first solo albums certainly surpass anything they did subsequently. However, I'm probably going to pass on the new edition, I'm happy enough with the disc I have. I might add that if you're a fan of pre-three Genesis and haven't heard this one, you'll likely like it. Edited by Slartibartfast - August 05 2009 at 17:36
	Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

	< ="-" ="text/; =utf-8">< name="ProgId" ="Word.">< name="Generator" ="Microsoft Word 11">< name="Originator" ="Microsoft Word 11"> Hi guys Delighted to announce the following release on Esoteric in October TONY BANKS: “A Curious Feeling” ESOTERIC RECORDINGS ECLEC 2160 (Standard single CD edition) / ECLEC 22161 (Limited Deluxe CD & DVD edition) Released: 19^th October 2009 Esoteric Recordings are proud to announce the release of the album “A Curious Feeling” by GENESIS founder member and keyboard player TONY BANKS on Monday October 19^th 2009. This classic album, inspired by the novel “Flowers for Algernon” by Daniel Keyes, was first released in October 1979 by Charisma Records. Recorded at Polar Studios in Stockholm, whilst Genesis were on a brief hiatus following the “And Then There Were Three” tour, this majestic work featured contributions from drummer CHESTER THOMPSON (a member of GENESIS for concert appearances) and vocalist KIM BEACON. Stylistically the album is equal to anything Banks composed for GENESIS and includes the instrumental “The Waters of Lethe” and the song “For a While” (also released as a single) among its highlights. Significantly, this new edition of “A Curious Feeling” has been remixed from the original master tapes by Nick Davis (who also remixed the entire GENESIS catalogue in 2007) and Tony Banks, resulting in a more dynamic sounding album. In addition, a new 5.1 Surround mix has also been prepared which is included on a limited 2 disc deluxe edition of “A Curious Feeling” along with the rare promotional videos of “For a While” and “The Waters of Lethe”. A top thirty hit album upon its release, these editions of “A Curious Feeling” are the definitive statements on the 1979 solo work by TONY BANKS and will be backed with a media campaign of interviews and features.
