commentsThere’s a Steven Wilson gig in Auckland to attend in several weeks time so I’m getting more acquainted with his most recent stuff.
commentsI’m just thinking - I started my 12 year “career” at my current work place soon after this was released. Now that’s just crazy!
commentsNearly 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.
commentsSteven Wilson and Aviv Geffen return for their best collaborative effort in donks. A true Blackfield return to form I reckon.
commentsImagine my surprise a couple of years back going into The Warehouse and discovering this big chunk of vinyl along with two other equally exciting Steven Wilson recordings.
commentsThe Tree stripped bare. This is an instore, mainly acoustic set, with just Steven Wilson and John Wesley accompanying him on guitar and backing vocals.
commentsThe first Porcupine Tree record I really listened to. And what a way to listen to it! - in all of it’s 5.
commentsThe opening slide guitar on “Even Less”, the first moment on this record, completely does me in. It’s pure wall to wall class from then on.
commentsMr Wilson’s first “actual” solo album made at the peak of Porcupine Tree’s popularity and critical acclaim. (For those who had actually heard of him and the band that is!
