He was a member of The Buggles, whose “Video Killed The Radio Star” became the first video ever to air on MTV. From there, he gathered more fame—and acclaim—as keyboardist and writer with the legendary YES, and later as a founding member of the supergroup ASIA. The list of Geoff’s friendships and projects with other musicians reads like a Who’s Who of Rock. He’s recorded and performed with Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Alan White, Carl Palmer, John Wetton, Greg Lake, Steve Hackett and Trevor Horn, to name just a few. Geoff is one of the most prolific artists in rock. He continues to record and tour with both Yes and Asia. He partners with famed vocalist/bassist and fellow Asia member John Wetton, recording albums as Wetton-Downes iCon. And as a solo artist, he explores new musical territory with The New Dance Orchestra, whose extraordinary album "Electronica" features vocals by Anne-Marie Helder. Geoff Downes joined forces with hit songwriter and producer Chris Braide, resulting in the first album from the Downes Braide Association (DBA), entitled “Pictures Of You.” With a bit of a smile, Chris and Geoff talk about DBA as “the best band you’ll never see,” as the music was born solely of their close friendship and shared passion for music — with zero intention of ever taking the act on the road.
PERSONNEL: Geoffrey Downes - keyboards; Steve Overland, Sonia Morag-Jones, Johnny Warman, Mike Wilson, Andy Skelton, Emma Stace, Sally-Ann Triplett, Glenn Hughes, Max Bacon - vocals; John Payne - vocals, vocoder; Steve Howe - guitar; Trevor Thornton - drums.
VOX HUMANA was Geoffrey Downes' second solo album and also the second album for which he used The New Dance Orchestra name in addition to his own name. As the title indicates this is a vocal album and not another instrumental work like his first solo effort The Light Program. As such, the present album is very different from the previous one. VOX HUMANA features 13 tracks and almost as many vocalists. Geoff revisits his past here with re-makes of three older songs, ''White Car'', ''Video Killed The Radio Star'' and ''Plastic Age''. Max Bacon sings on the opening track called ''Tears''. John Payne sings on ''Plastic Age''. Several other male and female vocalists appear. ''Video Killed The Radio Star'' is erroneously listed as an instrumental, but it is a vocal version sung by what sounds Glen Hughes. Given the presence of multiple vocalists and some brief keyboard dominated instrumentals in between this album will reminde you a lot of 80's Alan Parsons Project albums. Naturally, there are some similarities with Asia but there is a lot less of Hard-Edged Rock here. You could perhaps say that it sounds like an emasculated Asia without guitars. Geoff's partner in Yes and Asia, Steve Howe does appear on one track but he contributes only acoustic guitar. VOX HUMANA is not a bad album but also not a very good one. If you expect something on the lines of The Light Program you are in for a disappointment but if you appreciate the music of the likes of Alan Parsons Project you might enjoy this album.
