So I managed to listen to Raven that refused to sing CD on a couple of long drives along the coast and mountains.

And then I got it. And I came to think of it as on par with In Absentia.

Wilson outdid himself with this recent 3rd solo project.

SW's new DVD "Get All You Deserve" is amazing.

Highly recommended!

How's the new CD?

Any tips of seeing Wilson in Seattle this April?




The new CD is pretty good - takes a few listens but then it kicks in nicely. Like a huge tapestry of sounds...at first you wonder what he was thinking when they were put together. I love that about him.

SW named this song Harmony Korine because he thought it was an extraordinarily beautiful and musical name and not from any real love or admiration for the actual person (although knowing how much SW enjoys shock value I'm sure that oxymoron was not lost on him).

He's always been a team irony player.

Like stopping in a lush garden to admire the most breathtakingly beautiful flower you have ever seen in your life and then noticing a dead human hand sticking up from the soil below it.

That's just how he rolls.

Sick cat but I love him.

Harmony Korine is kind of a messed up dood though - wrote the movie "Kids" and directed "Gummo" - two of the most disturbing films ever.

In my opinion, Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree/Blackfield is the modern day equivalent of Robert Plant/Jimmy Page/Zeppelin and the likes of early period progressive rock. One would be hard pressed to find a match (exception: Radio Head or Portishead) for Steven's songwriting depth, larger-than-life guitar expressions, and consistently complex arrangements.


I would agree with that, but you failed to include Gavin Harrison and John Bonham in the comparisons. The percussive expression and tightness they bring adds considerably to the overall works. Without these drummers I would have to demote both groups a notch or two.
