5.0 out of 5 stars Out of His Hands and Into Yours
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2017

Sadly Peter Banks has left us like a lot of other talented progressive musicians, Chris Squire, John Wetton, Greg Lake and Keith Emerson. His band Empire with Sydney Foxx was a gem I discovered while shopping for used CD's years ago. Mark I, Mark II and Mark III were released on the one way label and I had two out of three and searched for years to obtain the hardest one to find being Mark II.

Owning all three discs by Empire is something you can now do without having to pay high priced sellers for an out of print CD. The Mars tapes are included and they are not demos, but have a raw sound to them. I originally was not to thrilled about that, but after many listens can you tell you that the performance is what you need to be listening to and not so much the raw sound quality. It is not like an audience recording or a bootleg, just a bit muffled at times, but certainly a worthwhile addition to this complete and wonderful collection.

Peter Banks to me has often been overshadowed by Steve Howe. I believe Peter contributed to YES in more ways than just two albums. His sound was YES and sometimes I feel he was not given his due. I still cannot figure out why YES never included him in the UNION tour. This collection is a must have for YES fans and guitar fans. I enjoy EMPIRE more than I did Flash. He really shines here as a very talented guitarist and it is very nice to hear a woman singing in a progressive band for a change. Sydney was a very big part of EMPIRE as it was her a Peter throughout and minor line up changes with Mark II and III releases.

Best songs are Still out of our Hands, Foundation and Sky at Night with Phil Collins on drums. Buy this and hear Peter surviving after YES and putting his all into another band.

I have always been a big Yes fan, but never explored Peter Banks work outside the band. This is a great collection of songs. Incredible guitarist who never obtained the commercial success obtained by other progressive artists like Steve Howe or Steve Hackett. I had never heard of Sydney Foxx but she has a beautiful voice and compliments the band well. Just now ordering 'The Flash', to further delve into Peter Banks work. This collection is highly recommended for any progressive rock fan.

3.0 out of 5 stars one way recordsから出ている三枚のCDとドラマーが所持していたカセットテープからの音源
Reviewed in Japan on February 6, 2018

エンパイアは、ピーターバンクス（g）が、フラッシュ解散後、女性ヴォーカリストのシドニーフォックス（ジョーダン）と結成した五人組のバンドで70年代の後半、アメリカで活動していたバンドです。メンバーチェンジを繰り返しながらリハーサルを続けましたが結局、レコード会社と契約できずレコードデビューをはたせずに解散してしまったバンドです。結成当初にはフィルコリンズ（dr・バッキングヴォーカル）の協力もあり惜しまれるグループでした。お蔵入りした音源をピーターとシドニーがone way recordsに持ち込み「マークⅠ・Ⅱ・Ⅲ」としてｃｄ化され90年代に入りやっとリスナーの聴くところとなりました。ピーターの死後、ドラマーのmark murdockが所持していた1979年のリハーサルテープも追って『the mars tapes』としてcd化されました。このテープにはイエス時代に取り組んだ「somethings coming」が約１７分の長さにわたりアレンジされています。これらの音源を併せたのが本ＣＤです。ボーナス曲としてフラッシュ解散後の1975年にピーターがレイベネット（ｂ）を招いて録音した「who」という曲が収録されています。シドニー（vo）、アンディマックロック（dr）の面々での演奏を聴くことができます。これはベネットのソロアルバム『angels＆ghosts』(2001)にも収録されています。
　付録のブックレットにはシドニーたちの長い英文の解説が載せられています。1974年の「sounds magazine」紙の写しの見出しには「new flash」と銘打って彼らの活動が伝えられていたことが分かります。
