“There’s no Genesis song that would’ve sounded anything like it did if I hadn’t been around.”
, a new collection of previously unreleased material. It’s a wonderful 53-track set — just don’t expect it to stoke the idea of future projects. “I don’t think there’s anything else left. The well is dry,” Banks tells me. “We can’t tour any more because of Phil’s state, so that’s the end of that. Let’s face it, when we did our last show the most recent piece of music must have been written about 30 years before. That was our era, and anything I do now tends to be independent of Genesis.
A song like “Abacab” was a return to a different era when we were first starting off. More of a rock thing. But my heart is much more in the elaborate stuff, so my favorite song on the album is “Me and Sarah Jane.” It goes different places, has lots of interesting changes, and doesn’t stick around the same idea all the way through. I like songs that do that. Those are the ones that give me the most pleasure.. Most of our audience just hated it. But we rather enjoyed it.
I’ve often tried to chop things down a little bit, but I went on as long as I felt the bit required. Sometimes it’s as long as the others would let me. I didn’t do a single solo prior to the albumwe had the song “Stagnation” — Mike started to play two chords and I found I had something to put on top of them. It opened a door for me. I didn’t feel I was a solo player at all. I was very much a chord and accompanying man, but it opened up the whole world for me in a way.
The instruments we had made a difference. Initially it was all written on piano and then we got a Hammond organ. I also wrote quite a bit on guitar and those guitar parts I would transfer to two keyboards. In the early days I would sometimes start off with the keyboards, with Mellotrons and stuff like that, and then I eventually got into the synthesizers. Sometimes when I got a new synthesizer it had a couple of sounds on it, and those sounds suggested a song’s idea to me.
