1979 Albums

A Curious Feeling > Banks, Tony

Artist: Tony Banks
Label: Charisma
Catalog#: CA-1-2207
Format: Vinyl
Country: United States
Released: 1979
Strawberry Bricks Entry: 
With Phil Collins in Canada sorting out his personal life, Genesis entered 1979 on hiatus. Both Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford turned their attention to solo projects, with Banks's being the first out of the gate. A Curious Feeling was produced with David Hentschel at Abba's Polar Studios, with Banks handling all instrumentation—only Chester Thompson assisted on drums and percussion. Based loosely on the novelette Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes, the album is a relatively uniform set of songs.

Adonis > Anyone's Daughter

Artist: Anyone's Daughter
Label: Brain
Catalog#: 0060.186
Format: Vinyl
Country: Germany
Released: 1979
Strawberry Bricks Entry: 
Founded in Stuttgart in the early 70s by guitarist Uwe Karpa and keyboardist Matthias Ulmer, the band took its name from the Deep Purple song of the same name. Just teenagers, they spent the next few years playing covers of English groups in youth centers, with original drummer Sascha Pavlovic and others. But by the time their 1979 album Adonis was released on the Brain/Metronome label, both lead vocalist and bassist Harald Bareth and drummer Kono Konopik were in place. The starting point is British progressive rock, with a healthy dose of post-Gabriel Genesis.
