Tony Banks founded Genesis with Charterhouse classmates Mike Rutherford, Peter Gabriel, Anthony Phillips, and others.
His solo works meander from albums that sound like whatever Genesis were doing at a similar time (A Curious Feeling, The Fugitive, Bankstatement, Still, Strictly Incognito) to film soundtracks (Soundtracks, The Wicked Lady), to most recently, a classical suite (Seven, A Suite For Orchestra).
Most of his albums feature a troupe of singers (most notably Fish, formerly of Marillion), although he does occasionally provide his own vocal (The Fugitive being the only one he sings entirely himself). Additional musicians vary per album.

I think this is the best stuff he's done outside Genesis. What cinema soundtracks should sound like. I do miss the songs like Cinema Show (from Seconds Out) with the long, rollercoaster keyboard journeys.
