Love it.

 

I have Half-Light on the Anesthetize DVD.  

 

Any suggestions on how to rip to an MP3 file which I would burn to a CD for the automobile?

Let your colleagues enjoy 3FM while you are a few orders of magnitude more advanced :)

Definitely one of my favorite songs on the DVD!
Wished the guitar solo went on a little longer.

I'd love to see a new metric on RP — the number of people who use the PSD option for each song.

Soooo much more original, soooo much less repetitious than Marley.

The members of PT are never inactive! Steven Wilson produces so much music beyond PT. He has solo work, did an album with the lead Singer of Opeth (Storm Corrosion), etc.
Gavin Harrison has multiple drum clinics, played with King Crimson this summer. Colin Edwin has his own side projects as does Richard Barbieri.
The are one of the most active group of musicians in the business. Time to wish them to get together and make a new album. Or better yet, have another US tour!
 
Ha - you are right about that!

Looking forward to Wilson's re-mix of "Thick As A Brick"

Me three.

But why are your colleagues annoyed?

They don't like lush, meandering soundscapes?

Good to know because I feel that "MUST HAVE" urge creeping up on me.

 

Best of the New Year to the obsessed fans.  As for the non-believers, interrogation chambers and re-education centres are being planned.  But I wish you all the best in the New Year too.

you are right with Sigur Ros, of course. very remarkable that anyone would do songs that reminds people of SR, i thought they were so absolut singular this would never happen^^
"half-light" is the perfect title for this (very nice) song,

Man, this PT band is so good, the fans make favourable comparisons to some Icelandic band that nobody has heard about. -hehe-

 

I presume that is Richard Barbieri on the keyboards.  I wouldn't underestimate his contribution to the mood and sound of PT music scapes.

Yes, the live version has a great extended guitar solo by Steven Wilson.
He really tears it up{#Bananajam}

This must be something like my 2nd listen of this song and I recognized Steven Wilson immediately.
