DavidSimply put, this is probably the most perfect Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree release in the entire SW catalogue. It’s a big subjective statement to make but it’s hard to prove otherwise on the strength of this brilliant record.

DavidAnother great release for a SW/PT newbie to wrap their ears around. This record, along with “In Absentia” and “Deadwing” would be the perfect place to start appraising Mr.

DavidBehind the veil. One of the best props I’ve ever seen at any gig is the transparent/translucent cloak that Mr Wilson’s band plays behind on this 2012 recorded gig and also experienced live for most of his 2016 gig in Auckland.

DavidThis is Mr Wilson at his most progressive. It’s Genesis, it’s King Crimson, it’s fucking Return To Forever. There’s a crash hot ensemble playing all around him and aside from vocals he does take more of a back seat on this performance wise.

DavidYet another piece of the musical heritage puzzle that is the Steven Wilson brand. This early 90’s record is a largely experimental, but highly accessible pop record made in collaboration with vocalist Tim Bowness.

DavidIt’s Spring! I’ve been ruthless lately, ridding myself of all the unnecessary shit that gets in the way and starts to irritate.

DavidThere’s a Steven Wilson gig in Auckland to attend in several weeks time so I’m getting more acquainted with his most recent stuff.

DavidI’m just thinking - I started my 12 year “career” at my current work place soon after this was released. Now that’s just crazy!

DavidNearly a decade prior to the release of one of my favourite SW moments, 2002’s “In Absentia” where things started heading North towards metal, this gem is a previously neglected treasure trove of progressive rock meets psychedelia.
