Steve Wilson solo albums

I love early Porcupine Tree but I just cannott get into any of his solo albums.
Anyone else in the same boat?

I'm somewhat of a fanboy. It's not that a love everything he puts out, but I always enjoy the music.
Having said that I still favour PT's early psych years to just about anything that came after.
Up the Downstair, Voyage 34, The Sky Moves Sideways, Metanoia, Transmission IV, Signify and Coma Divine

I'm a huge admirer of PT and find a lot of references in his solo work. I don't expect it is to everyone's taste but I have rarely found it 'immediate'. After repeated listening, there are a lot of subtleties that appear. Perhaps give it another go and listen anew. Only a suggestion though, would be awful if we all had the same taste.

I like both, but it seems that the talent of the other members of PT made the music a little different, and richer in instrumentation, dynamics, arrangements, etc.

Fanboy...worshiper...don't care. I love them all.

Porcupine Tree is good, but I have liked more his solo stuff... at least Grace for Drowning, and even more The Raven. Hand Cannot Erase has some great songs, but I still prefer the previous albums. The one album from Porcupine Tree that I do love is Coma Divine... however, I still need to get some other of the pre-Gavin albums.

PT 1989-1999 > Insurgentes > Lightbulb Sun > PT 2005-2007 > Hand.Cannot.Erase > Raven... > Grace for Drowning > In Absentia > The Incident

I enjoy all his solo efforts. Insurgentes I never got on initial release, took a year at least......Then GFD took me probably couple months to soak in, after that it was simply excellent music. The Raven is brilliant......HCE is accessible and is easily liked or not so much, I can see that, it's a different production and performance.

If The Incident was an SW album and Grace For Drowning a PT album then I could say I like all P Tree stuff and most of his solo work is not for me. I think with P Tree is the band had considerable imput into the collective sound and it really jelled for me - took a while though. I first heard Sky Move Sideways  mid to late 90s and thoughtit a PF retread. People who didn't know PF (there are many) took it on it's own merits. Still got into P Tree in an unusual way - mainly via bootlegs. Got the albums - all the newer versions too - took ages to get a cheap copy of Lightbulb Sun. But as a live act these guys were good and there were one or two hilarious moments e.g SW ripping Barbieri over his image when said keyboard player was with Japan.

Which led to meeting ex Japan singer Sylvian, then Fripp (who did those fantastic albums with the Japan singer). He (SW) even guested as guitarist at a Mick Karn / Barbieri gig. Notable for being almost entirely instrumental and a lovely soundboard,if you find it, download it.

He has solo stuff (or non-P Tree) during the P Tree years. Some ok but I admit I bought 'em 'cause P, Tree did well for me.

Terrific live band and the all;bums they made are treasures. I do think if P Tree had been around in the 1970s or even significant in even the 80s... (maybe...) they'd be as revered publicly as Pink Floyd. But I think they are still outside the mainstream. Like most rock is now...

I like most of the stuff he's done from In Absentia and forward.  I tried Lightbulb Sun, and some of the earlier material, and it didn't really do anything for me.
