One of the most talented musicians I have ever seen, and never stop making awesome music for us to enjoy...
I look up, I'm almost blinded

by the warmth of what's inside me

and the taste that's in my soul,

but I'm dead inside as I stand alone...

I agree. He is one of the most talented musicians around. Let's hope we are not disappointed with the up coming album.

New info from Steven:  

Thanks for all the wonderful feedback regarding my new solo record! Sorry, but Cut Ribbon once again failed to make the cut - although the 12 tracks / 84 minutes of music I've selected for the main release is quite eclectic, it has in common a pretty organic feel, mostly inspired by the darker end of vintage progressive music and some movie soundtrack stuff (Morricone especially). The sound palette is made up of things like strings, choir, woodwinds, mellotron, organ, piano, fender rhodes, jazz drums, and warmer guitar tones, so the shiny metal attack of Cut Ribbon just doesn't fit. But the track is all mixed and finished and sounds good, so I'll find somewhere to release it. Definitely the album will come out on double vinyl too. Love the new Radiohead album! Here's another still from the work in progress films Lasse is working on to include on the blu-ray version of the album.


Awesomeness ensues.

Diehard PT fan but did not get Insurgentes due to a lot of the reviews and some samples I heard.  Hope this is more in the melodic vein so I can get it.
Biggles was in rehab last Saturday

^^ Too bad.  You are missing out on a great album.

Will be in line to pre-order any special edition he can come up with.

Harmony Korine is the most played song in my entire library. By a long shot. 138 plays since the day the album came out. It really is a great album.

I really got into Insurgentes about a year and a half after I got it.  When it first came out, I couldn't get into it as much, probably expecting more PT, but I've broadened my horizons!  And yes, it's a great album!

That's actually probably the most logical explanation I've ever seen. That, or Steven is the second coming.
Tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe and he'll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint on it and he'll have to touch it to be sure.

Cool new update from Steven Wilson's facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Steven-Wilson-Official-page/114657261887878

The new solo album website will probably launch in early June now. The music is done, but we're still working on film material and the deluxe edition. It's presented as two 40-45 minute albums in the same package (which begs the question; when is a double album not a double album? When it's 2 single albums issued together!) The album titles are "Deform to Form a Star" and "Like Dust I Have Cleared From My Eye".

"Grace For Drowning" will be out in the fall. No tracklisting or artwork yet but you can head over to this site to view a promo clip. It looks like this is going to be one dark record.
