Great to see them back on the road!
Has anybody seen them live and can share some impressions?

I don't get 'An Island in the Darkness'. I'm a huge Tony Banks fan and own all his solo work.
Pretty much all my favorite Genesis songs are the one's that Tony wrote.
But "An Island In the Darkness" does absolutely nothing for me. What am I missing? Sure, it's long. It's somewhat "proggy", but there's nothing interesting about it. IMHO.
It's a grower. I have problems with Another murder of a day, bit AIITD ist really a great "late career" track Tony did. People who like this one probably also like One man's fool a lot.

I seriously think this is Ray Wilson's best album to date. A wonderful piece of work!
I agree! The title track is amazing, same with Amelia and Cold like stone. Highly recommended album.
also available on his website here

I thought I had crowd funded it. Crowd funded something anyway! Have put ray Wilson in search on my payment cards but can't find anything as proof of payment.any advice as to what should put into the search bar to check if I'd paid!
"Ray Wilson Music Ltd." or "RWMUSICLTD"
I did it via Paypal.
Did receive the album a couple of days ago. Sounds very promising so far! More later

They may postpone Dublin until they do a European leg. But to me that doesn't seem likely. Nobudy knows what the plan for Europe os right now. If they do stadiums, then Dublin wouldn't make much sense. On the other hand, Phil's own shows in mainland Europe also were a mix between arenas and stadiums.
We wait and we wonder...

Difficult album for me. I don't like the voice a lot and most of the tracks are average at best. Surely not one of Steve's highlights.
I do like Imagining, though.
-
and again ... a hundred different vinyl versions. Is there a list of the different editions somewhere? Looks like these are again exclusive editions for some stores?
-
tough choices ...
You might recall is obvious, so is On the shoreline
Do the neurotic should have been on the album
Anything now as well.
then Inside and out and It's yourself
-
Not a fan of this album, but Indigo is a geat track!
-
One of the Tony Banks albums I still don't own. Some years ago I listened to the whole album online and I decided to skip this one, I found it to be too mixed and I didn't like Fish's nor Andy Taylor's vocals. I prefer Bankstatement and Strictly Inc.
interesting. Always thought it was his best solo album. And there are some great musicians on that one as well.
Strictly Inc would be my second choice

Haven't seen this for a while - so will check this out later . Thanks for sharing the link.

So, Trick is currently #1 in this poll. Quite a surprise to me actually.
-
Intruder, No self control and Family snapshot (loved this one during the back to front live show)
-
Back on topic. The possibility of the tour happening in 2022 has gotten even stronger but I imagine Arena's could be booked solid with so many tours happening
The US tour very likely to take place as scheduled and will give us an idea of the setlist
Will be interesting to see what's going to happen in Ireland - who knows, maybe these two shows are affected and the other ones not? no idea ...
If they are forced to postpone again, I am pretty sure their agency (which is solomusicagency) have enough dates and venues at hand to make that happen, same applies to further shows in continental Europe.

Quite entertaining promo text
Neverthless it made me curious and I have hope that there might be ome variations on it compared to the last 2-3- albums.

Tough question.
Phil's peak (being a drummer) probably was in the very early eighties (having said that, I enjoyed his Big Band phase as well, but that's another story), being a vocalist probably 1983-1986.
Mike: Maybe 1977
Tony ... no idea
as a band it might have been the 1976/77 tours.
-
Hang In Long Enough and Something Happened.... ugh. Far too brash. Didn't like them when I listened to the album for the very first time, and they haven't aged well.
SHOTWTH - agreed
but Hang in long enough? That's as powerful and fresh as it used to be. Was great to hear that one live again during the last tour.
-
This may sound too negative, but I am not expecting a lot.
I mean, it will be a decent album and some nice ideas. I just think he won't change a lot, the sound will more or less be the same.
But it's great to know that he has at least one guest vocalist (not my favorite, but hey ...)
-
I used to collect a lot and my advice is: Either never start collecting or limit yourself to a special subject, like posters, promos, cardsleeves, touring passes whatever. But: You will never get everything.

I think Another murder is the best track on the record, perhaps because it's so proggy?
