>Does anyone know who Tony Banks is and what he has written?

If it's the Tony Banks I think it is I don't know what other film
scores he's written but he is a member and one of the principle
song writers of the english rock group `Genesis'. To get a feel
of the sort of music u might expect beg, borrow or steal copies
of their albums (preferably the earlier ones as the later ones
are rather more commercialised and `pop' oriented). Alternatively,
he has the odd solo album released.

Personally, i think his style of music will fit well.

Tony Banks is the keyboardist for the Rock Group Genesis.

While Genesis isn't strictly classical, they are highly classically influenced.
Banks trademarks (in my estimation) are highly creative and original 
compositions, although I must admit to not being a real big Genesis fan.

I'm somewhat dissapointed that they didn't stick to the very effective use of
classical pieces, but I'm looking forward to hearing what Banks contributes
to the film.
