Sadly the more I read the less I’m inclined to listen to the artist based on their attitude. It may be my loss but one I’m willing to take

Sometimes I'm amazed how people completely pass by clear second degree humour...
That said, I found the presentation very convincing in that it was incredible enough to make me curious... So, I listened to a couple of tracks (I see now that there are "tracks to dip your toes in" suggested; did you add those later, Erin? I don't think I listened to any of these). I think Pink Floyd can Breathe with some relief: their success will probably not be equalled... For my tastes it is a bit too much subdued and ambient, but I listened only to 4 or 5 tracks and some snippets... By heart - I listened to them this morning - I think the track Galvanized (if I remember the title well) was the most interesting of those heard... If I tip my toes in those suggested will it be very different?

So much time and process wasted not assessing the material itself. Perhaps you share your thoughts on the music, and keep the tone civil. |
how am I not civil?

Really, the comments that don't address the music are proving a self-defeating point about the commenters.

Listening would give you a different reading. Unless you know how to twiddle out a guitar lead such as Fire Delegation's, from Four Corners?

very well said.  |
I read it as humorous though. I quite commonly joke around with a straight-face often employing absurdity and hyperbole. There are so many different ways that people interpret intent. |
The presentation sounded like a reproach. How dare we not know these concept albums from an artist whose name is not even mentioned in the presentation. |

Perhaps you're not relaxed enough to assess the humor and humility, Christi?  |

Is there proof Steve Wilson is envious of the production?

Five contemporary concept albums that tell one overarching true story. Each album wholly unique. A concept bigger than the Dark Side/Animals/Wish You Were Here/The Wall/The Final Cut pentology. Tons of related material dating back decades. Human Rights Campaign/Foundation currently under federal investigation for their backstage business model of blackmail and extortion, not to mention their genocide conspiracy dating back to 1971 and prior. Ed Unitsky coverart on the sophomore release. The most meaningful musical leap since Bach took pen to parchment. All material composed, arranged, and produced by a single auteur. Challenging listen in unexpected ways, requires relaxed attention. Music composed to such a fine degree that it truly describes an ongoing situation, in ways that the progressive rock greats have never achieved. Mixing and mastering that Steven Wilson is envious of, analog engineering with 24-bit high-resolution audio at every digital stage.
A first amendment accolade.
Hours of inventive progressive rock finely crafted to a degree you've never considered possible.
Listed in reverse order, free to listen to without restriction:
Tracks to dip your toes in: Nothing Watered Down, A Clearing Of Grass In The Temple, Opus No. 98.0025
Tracks to dip your toes in: Rounding Up The Circle, No Shelter, A Meadow's Day
Tracks to dip your toes in: Practicing Craft (Q-Ball's Quandary), A Certain Stage Of Development, Indemnification (Take 2)
Tracks to dip your toes in: Prepondering, Sixty-Six Point Six
Tracks to dip your toes in: Smash The B.O.P., Bring Heaven In
