Hi,

I'ma thunki' that it's time to go to sleep ... there are far better folks doing music these days, without the hype.

I don't dislike SW, but I'm tired of the __________________ ... and music that is not really that great, but is distributed in such a manner as to make one thing it is great. 

The monthly best list alone, has far better stuff listed than some of the material he is doing. After 50 years of listening to music from all over the world, I'm afraid I would list a lot of albums before any of his.

^ he knows how to operate for sure. Wilson does have a great appreciation for music generally if you check out his y/t channel that he does with Tim Bowness. I would hope that this would be a fun tour. I would go if I was living where I used to but now it's a 2 hr car journey. Not out of the question though. It was a hard pass when PT reformed. I saw them twice and they were great but that was then.

I think you should go ahead and list these albums, it's a good exercise. Also a nice lesson in humility - at least in my experience it is quite hard to list your favorite albums accurately. Easier said than done Smile

According to his website, it's "two long pieces" which should make for an entertaining listen.

I'm ignoring all the hype. There will be SO MANY great releases until we get to hear these tracks, it is better to focus on them instead.

Hi,

Talk about assumptions! .... Because I do not admire something, with all the hype, does not mean EVER that I will not listen to it ... and I'm not sure you have looked in the mirror lately ... you need more humility than I.

I asked you to list your favorite releases because I'm interested in them. Maybe you misread my post? Seems like you read "listen to " when I wrote "list".

If you think I need more humility - noted. LOL

Sure, posting a video by another band was off-topic. But it's not like I'm disrupting any meaningful discussions here, since there is very little information about the upcoming SW release, and won't be for several months. Smile

I loved The Harmony Codex, it has this Up the Downstairs feeling that SW doesn't replicate since the Signify days

The description of the next album seems to go in that direction as well in a more ambitious way. Can't wait to listen to the thing.

Yeah, there 10-20 albums I'll be listening while it's not out, but, well, good for us, prog lately has been flourishing with a lot of great stuff. Airbag recently released a new album and it is great, same for a Norwegian group that has been posted here in the 2024 thread and looks awesome as well.

Hi,

In general, I don't like to post "lists" and "favorites" ... since after 60 years, including classical music, there is so much stuff out there way better ... that choosing one over the other is ridiculous and the next day the order changes.

Music, for me, is not about lists .... or favorites. It never has been. Sure I liked Dance of the Lemmings ... but there were also other things that got a lot of listening to. And at the time, just to give you an idea, Tomita was probably my special listen ... loved the interpretations!

^ If you want to just spread negativity, by all means go on. I'm just saying that in order to make your criticism useful, you need to tell people what you do like - not only what you hate. Now you mentioned Tanz der Lemminge and (Isao) Tomita. That's a start, although I do not see the connection to Steven Wilson.

So: Which releases would you recommend specifically to fans of Steven Wilson?

I do think that Wilson has worked hard to achieve what he has done and also has obviously been entrusted to do the remixes of the seventies prog giants. Basically it makes no sense to disrespect the man at all. If you don't like him then move along. Expressing excessively negative opinion makes very little sense to me and we are seeing a lot of it on the forum at the moment. I'm not comfortable with it all. None of these modern day prog artists are making any significant money that I am aware of and I doubt that SW will make that much from this tour in truth. Buy a ticket , don't buy a ticket , don't give a f**k but can we stop behaving like spoilt entitled children .. please!
