El título, Two Sides of Peter Banks ( Dos Caras de Peter Banks en castellano), hace referencia con ironía a las dos caras de un vinilo y de la personalidad del músico. En él, participan una serie de músicos invitados, colaboradores de otras bandas de rock progresivo como Focus, Genesis o King Crimson.
Essentially this is as much a Jan Akkerman album as a Peter Banks album. Here they get help from two Flash bandmates with Ray Bennett and Mick Hough, plus Phil Collins, John Wetton (misspelled "Whetton" on the album), and even Steve Hackett; however, the last two only appeared on "Knights (Reprise)".
15 de nov. de 2007 · Two Sides of Peter Banks meanders something awful, as if the guitarist never got around to finishing it. In its defense, there are some brilliant prog passages on the first side that anticipate the work of Anthony Phillips and Steve Hackett (who actually appears on one track). Other bands that come to mind are Camel, ELP and, of course, Flash.
