That's precisely what my wife has been doing with Storm Corrosion (she bought the deluxe package).
But honestly: if this album wasn't by Wilson and Akerfeldt, who'd ever talk about it?

Great stuff, pretty unexpected and yet very familiar to both Akerfeld and Wilson. One of the best albums of the year so far

I the days when he was disowning any prog connection prog was a dirty word and I think he was trying to distance himself from it. As prog has made somewhat of a comeback and is almost cool over recent years I'm sure he'll be happy to be associated with it now.

Drag Ropes, both tune and video are nothing short of astounding. This is fresh stuff. Certainly, you have to admit the video is unique. Others may not, but I love the overall dark nature of that video.

^The song is great. Reference to 'Fracture' is unforgettable.

I've seen the Drag Ropes video.
The video itself is interesting.
The song? Zzzzzzzzzzz.......

The music video to it was so dark and eerie too. Gave me a chill down my spine.

In his PA interview (shortly before the release of FoABP), I remember him saying that he doesn't use the word "prog" and he doesn't think it's the most accurate label but that he doesn't particularly mind other people using it to describe his music. |
A little while ago, I bought an album that had the inscription "label under prog" or something like that, meant for the personnel of record sotres to know in which section to put it. Now, I think that album was "Grace for Drowning". Hope I remember to check it out later on.

I heard the whole album that was posted in PA before it was taken out, and I found it really enjoyable. Surely I'll be buying it as soon as I can.

Well I think these artists and labels are paying him to remix/remaster old albums and new ones, since he is such a perfectionist about sound.....and he also is reported to love vinyl, hence all PT albums have been released on vinyl, I am slowly getting them all, they are brilliant!
On the venue website where we saw him a few weeks ago was a short bio and in there described his early musical likes as one being Donna Summer, so go figure, not prog for sure but I describe his music as very eclectic and psychadelic.
