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

According to his website, it's "two long pieces" which should make for an entertaining listen. ------------- The Wheel of Time Turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the shadow. Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time... |

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. ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

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.

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.

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! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

^ 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! |

Can't say his last two albums did much for me, but I'm at least curious what he'll come up with.

I want him to engage a full band going forward. Him playing all the instruments and patching it all together does not always work well IMO.....Only Prince was able to do this effectively. -------------

Yeah, same here. I don't expect anything like Raven or Hand Cannot Erase moving forward but I'd prefer that style. However, as you said, I'm curious about whatever he releases. ------------- We all dwell in an amber subdomain, amber subdomain, amber subdomain. My face IS a maserati |

Hi, It is not meant to sound negative, but I have a really hard time making "choices" and after 600 foreign film reviews, I can't even name 5 that I think are the best ... although I can easily tell you who the most impressive soundtrack folks are, or who the most far out cinematographers are, or who the craziest, or fun-est, directors are. But it stops there, and music falls into the same area for me.
As I said before I do not look at albums as songs, and I don't look at musicians as a commodity for my ears. I consider SW a part of PT and in 30 plus years they have become a very nice group of musicians with a lot of neat things ... again, selecting one piece or another is hard for me since I don't do songs per se ... I would prefer to consider SW a composer and will state that his work is very nice indeed, and deserves the acclaim that he has gotten over the years. specially his technical expertise being use for many other works, which is nice for this generation, although I'm not one of the folks that thinks that a modern version redone by SW of Bruhaha by the Grand Minstrels is better or more interesting than the original ... I hear a recording of Igor Stravinsky conducting his own work, and then Leonard Bernstein's version, and then someone else's version, and the music is "STILL THERE" and alive, and though there might be moments that are different here and there, in the end, the medium works right ... the music is still alive. I don't think anyone can make me do favorites, it just isn't what I am about! It's not a matter of being stubborn ... I simply have no interest or desire in that area whatsoever. ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

| ^ Sure, whatever. Do as you like, but as long as you cannot give recommendations (as in: concrete examples of better versions of whatever you're currently bashing), you're not being particularly helpful. When it comes to SW in particular, having listened to hundreds of releases of the last couple of years, I think that he is pretty unique in what he does and how he goes about his solo releases. Even though they cover a broad range of styles, they are unmistakably SW. I couldn't think of any other releases that I could consider as candidates of better versions of his albums. That's not the same as saying that there are no better releases - there are of course, but none of them sound like SW. |

Hi, Agreed. Again, there are many other things that I want in my collection, and I do have an almost complete PT and I think 3 SW albums, in case you want to know ... I wouldn't have bought any of it if I did not think those folks were not good .... but as for a placement in terms of preference, or numbers? That's not me. ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com |

^ Like it or not, you do have a preference. There is a ranked list of your favorite releases, if not in terms of numeric rankings, then in terms of how often you have listened to them. And of course you might not remember it because you do not really care (which is absolutely fine). I keep asking you about your favorite releases because I think the list would be interesting to see. But I understand and respect your reasons for not posting it.

Hi, I probably could list a few albums, but they might be a bit old, and not some of the newer stuff ... but you already know that Amon Duul 2, Can, Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream and Ange are my top choices ... and I am not sure that many new things have stood up to many of those albums ... but I'll agree that I need to check out a few more things, though these days, I'm checking out some jazz albums, and finding some neat things. PT and SW are a good thing in my collection, but it's like Marillion and a lot of other stuff ... nifty, an nice to my ears, and I am not sure I need more from them ... I appreciate their artistry a lot.
