They should be removed then. As far as I can tell only the one track has been released.

THE FUTURE BITES details available here
The first single dropped yesterday, named after one of SW's favourite movies: Whatcha think? Loving it so far, but 5 mins would've been enough (the song doesn't really go anywhere past this mark, just repeats itself). The rest of the tracklist has shorter cuts though |

Sounds like a mix of early PT (my favourite era) and industrial music from 10-20 years ago.
I don't dislike it.

I enjoyed it, it a mix of old PT + TTB + Jamiroquai.
It's a shame that the other tracks are 4 minutes long at maximum and the album clocks at 40 minutes (could've been 45 or 50, IMO perfect length) |

If this is considered "futuristic", then Steven Wilson nearly had the title right with "Future Bites". Did he consider a better title as "Future Blows"?

My reaction after listening once: New Order did this decades ago and did it better.

It's not too bad, musically and creatively I think its rather good. I too am not a fan of his Prince wannabe falsetto vocals, very much a disco beat to it, EDM. Harken back to a Giorgio Morodor style of writing and production.
The topic of the song is forgettable as is the spoken word stuff. I just pre-ordered the album, signed vinyl version from Burning Shed due out in June.

Not surprising to see a majority who like it. SW could record an album of farts and his fans would hail it a masterpiece. Good for him.
It has a one star rating on PA. How can you rate before something is released? Edited by Grumpyprogfan - March 12 2020 at 13:36 |

Listening to it right now and parts of the music, unlike the vocals, remind me of the Up The Downstair / Sky Moves Sideways / Signify years of PT. Others parts sound nothing like PT's music from that era.
Somewhat remarkably (I guess) I like it.

Electronic beats! Its not bad! But I would prefer more creative drums, combined with these beats. In this case, we have Craig Blundell’s flat and monotonous drumming, imho |

Just listened to it. Yuck yuck yuck! Don't like the techno dance beat (electronic drums?). When he sings falsetto it is cringeworthy. The song is way too long, 9:49. The spoken word sections are weird. The non-techno parts sound exactly like his older material. No doubt he is trying to be different, but this is not prog, not good, and not for me.
