Still is a compelling collection of songs from Tony Banks, showcasing his signature keyboard work and melodic sensibilities. This album captures a moment of refined artistry in his solo career.
- Still was released in 1991 on Craft Recordings, featuring a blend of progressive rock, classic rock, and art pop influences. The album was recorded and released during a period when Banks was actively pursuing his solo career between major Genesis projects. It highlights his compositional skills and his distinctive keyboard arrangements that have become a hallmark of his sound.
- The album features Banks performing all instruments, a common practice in his solo work, allowing for a singular vision to be realized. While not a chart-topper, Still was met with positive reception from fans of his solo material and Genesis. It further cemented Banks's reputation as a versatile musician capable of creating rich, layered music outside the context of his famous band.
- The release of "Still" followed a period of significant activity with Genesis, including the successful "Invisible Touch" album and subsequent tour, before the band took a hiatus. Banks used this time to focus on his individual projects, demonstrating his prolific output and diverse musical interests. This solo effort provided a platform for more personal and perhaps less commercially driven musical explorations.
