Banks Vaults: The Complete Albums 1979-1995 (7CD+DVD)

Eight CD set. Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce the release of Banks Vaults, a newly remastered boxed set featuring all of the solo albums released by Genesis founder Tony Banks between 1979 and 1995. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010 as a member of Genesis, Tony is one of the most respected songwriters and keyboardists in the world. His career spans almost 50 years and has seen him sell in excess of 130 million albums. His body of work is as innovative as it is eclectic. Genesis' avant-garde style made them one of progressive rock's founding fathers in the 1970s, creating an experimental style of rock music never before seen. They went on to produce music with a greater pop sensibility in the 1980s that saw them become one of the biggest selling bands of the decade, and play stadiums throughout the world. Tony Banks' solo work has continued in the same vein. His rock albums have included collaborations with some of the world's most respected musicians including singers Toyah Wilcox, Fish, Jim Diamond and Nick Kershaw, bassist Pino Palladino and drummers Steve Gadd and Vinnie Colaiuta, as well as long time Genesis collaborators Daryl Stuermer and Chester Thompson.
