If you like this one it seems like someone is in for a rather large porcupine flavoured treat - they keep getting better

Wow, I'm really loving the sublime spectral nature of this piece...stunning strings, keys, percussion, vocals — and truly mind-blowing CRANKED on a good system in a place with good acoustics!

Beautiful in BIG way. Gleaming through the clouds in slow motion!

Harrison has posted a ton of videos on YouTube explaining some of his techniques and even giving demos. Truly a cool dude and an artist who wants to share his skills.

I DO play and I find Gavin's time displacement stuff to be AMAZING!

Just went and saw Gavin Harrison's drum clinic - what a thrill.  I don't even play but a couple hours of watching a genius work for $10 was a great night.  What that guy can do with one hand while holding a mic is amazing enough!  Next week Steven Wilson concert and John Wesley is playing with him....

I saw them twice, last year.  They are easily the most proficient and exact band that I have ever heard.  True professionals and students of their own music.

Steven Wilson is touring this fall to support his new solo album out the end of September.  Got tickets myself for Toronto....

PT could easily put out a CD collecting the rare stuff and extras from old eps/singles etc.

Wish they were out on tour.

I love this link!!! I listened to Disappear 1997 demo which surprisingly is on the European release of Lightbulb Sun. It is not on any other release that I know of and I got it from my years of gathering music from the now defunct alltunes/all of mp3 Russia Site. Yeah, talk to me later about stealing music, I got something light years before most Americans did. I even listed this song to the Radio Paradise Upload Song links, but it was shot down since Disappear is already on the RP list of songs via the Recordings CD. Steve Wilson is so dynamic and this song has so much angst, his story of him going nowhere and his lover going places too fast for him to keep up the pace.

Wonderful musicians and excellent writers, one of my favorite bands to date.

Steven is far from alone in that assesment.

How Ironic !  

nice tune 

I saw them live in Heineken music hall twice, in the Melkweg and in Paradiso,  Amsterdam  (is there another place called Amsterdam? I mean the Capital!!!) their Paradiso gig was awesome, I'm just saying that I never saw a better gig.  (and i have seen a lot!)

Well, this is what I appreciate about Steven Wilson and PT. They do experiment and break out of boxes musically, even though it usually retains the PT feel. Their different albums over the years show not just the ability to experiment and grow, but the persistent desire to do so. Steven Wilson and PT don't remain static, and that's a very good thing.

I enjoyed listening to some material from Wilson that I haven't heard before, posted here earlier by another listener, but I'll share the link here for your edification and listening pleasure.

I LOVE PT! If it wasn't for RP, I may have never discovered them. They deserve so much more widespread recognition than they're getting. I'm really hoping I can catch them live some day. (Missed them last year when they appeared here... dang it!)

Agreed...it has grown on me as well, very nice.

Not sure I really liked this song the first time I heard it.  But then it just grew and grew.    10

I love the ethereal, ringing guitars. This would make a great instrumental, with violins playing the vocals.

These guys are growing on me. Next week the`ll play in Germany! I would like to see them!!

PT does CSN.   ; )
(Oh, looks like I wasn't the first to pick up on this!)

"Prodigal" from this CD hooked me.  I've bought a ton of their stuff since.

Harmonies like Nash and Crosby..............beautiful and distinctive

The la la la bit is the best part. Nicely layered with the lead guitar.
