A great track, and definitely a hint of Knife Edge from Beggs there later on - although differences in phrasing as has been pointed out. A nice live version on the new Home Invasion release as well (followed by Arriving Somewhere But Not Here, immediately afterwards - a great one-two!)

Of course Steven Wilson has always wore his influences on his sleeve at times - Time Flies and the similarity with the guitar riffs of Sheep by Pink Floyd have been well flagged up in the past......although Airbag seemed influenced by both bands on the All Rights Reserved track a couple of years later.

No surprises here. I always likened Hand. Cannot. Erase. to some kind of reanimated Frankenstein's monster of prog.

Not as obvious as Siberian Khatru's Mellotron on Luminol.

Beggs idolised Chris Squire since he was a teenager. And most likely Lake as well

I had noticed that section that I could swear was a rip-off from ELP, but couldn't point out which song, and hadn't made the time to check them out and compare in order to get it, so now I know. It's a great song, anyway, my favourite from the album, and the one that really is up to the greatness of the previous album. In a way, Ayreon (or rather, Emerson himself) did just about the same in the Theory of Everything album, just in the part that Emerson himself played. I thought he could have come up with something new at least.

One of Wilson’s ‘Top 5’ in my books. I never noticed, but thinking about it, similar, but different phrasing. An absolutely bonkers track - the band go nuts when they perform it live.

Hi, has anyone noticed that the song Ancestral from Steven Wilson's Hand.Cannot.Erase has the same bass notes than ELP's Knife Edge???
I have been thinking about it as soon as i heard the album, but just made the comparison!!!
