Diehard PT fan but did not get Insurgentes due to a lot of the reviews and some samples I heard.  Hope this is more in the melodic vein so I can get it.

New info from Steven:  

Thanks for all the wonderful feedback regarding my new solo record! Sorry, but Cut Ribbon once again failed to make the cut - although the 12 tracks / 84 minutes of music I've selected for the main release is quite eclectic, it has in common a pretty organic feel, mostly inspired by the darker end of vintage progressive music and some movie soundtrack stuff (Morricone especially). The sound palette is made up of things like strings, choir, woodwinds, mellotron, organ, piano, fender rhodes, jazz drums, and warmer guitar tones, so the shiny metal attack of Cut Ribbon just doesn't fit. But the track is all mixed and finished and sounds good, so I'll find somewhere to release it. Definitely the album will come out on double vinyl too. Love the new Radiohead album! Here's another still from the work in progress films Lasse is working on to include on the blu-ray version of the album.


Awesomeness ensues.

I agree. He is one of the most talented musicians around. Let's hope we are not disappointed with the up coming album.

One of the most talented musicians I have ever seen, and never stop making awesome music for us to enjoy...
I look up, I'm almost blinded

by the warmth of what's inside me

and the taste that's in my soul,

but I'm dead inside as I stand alone...

Well, his first was pretty good. hopefully its more in that vein than the recent PT stuff.
 
Based on reviews I'll probably buy it.

My second solo album is nearing completion. It will be in the form of 2 separate 40 minute albums released in the same 2 CD set, and will also come as a blu-ray with surround mix, high definition stereo and a lot of visual material (Lasse is already working hard on films for many of the songs, attached is a still from ...one of these we shot a couple of weeks ago to a song called "Index"). We're also planning a special Insurgentes style hard back book edition with a full length bonus CD of additional material. A year in the making, this is without doubt my biggest project to date, perhaps my most ambitious and personal music, and with some phenomenal musicians and performances on it (drummer Nic France in particular is going to blow a lot of people away). We hope a website will launch around April/May to start previewing material, with the album scheduled for September. More soon....




Whoops - looks like I posted some old news.  Just got excited about new Steven Wilson stuff.

Don't musicians always say something similar about about their new album?

Not really. Not always.

For the third time a 2 CD album that could be done in just one CD.
