Someone brought it up in >>422, so we might as well give it its own thread.
Tony released a new album last month. In case you don't know because his attempt to guilt you into following his solo career was not successful, this is his third in a series of orchestral albums. I haven't listened to Five yet, but I liked his other classical albums a bit and I've heard good things about this one. Be warned, it's none of that 90s Steve Hackett-esque, neo-classical shit, this is real classical music, so if you don't like that, you won't like this.

Listened to it on Spotify and I have to say t's a beautiful album. I've ordered the CD of it this morning so I can have a physical, and lossless copy, plus to support Mr. Banks as I don't think he has reached this peak since the mid-to-late-70s.
I like how the production on this album was unorthodox for a classical album, like recording different parts of the orchestra separately and layering them together in post, like a rock record. Tony may deny that "Renaissance" was based on an old Genesis rehearsal session, but I noticed similarities in the melodies to "Burning Rope" on ...and Then There Were Three....
I'm looking forward to a possible Four album to come out 10 years from now and be blown away again tenfold.

Tony's not Peter Gabriel. He can get it out in seven years.

Even better. 2025 is on my calendar for Four.

With all due respect to "Burning Rope," "Renaissance" shares even more resemblance to "Me and Sarah Jane" off Abacab. Kind of like when Arcade Fire hid some of their songs from Reflektor in their original score to Her.
