After listening to Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun a lot more, I'd have to say that those two albums may just be my favorites by the band.
I also would've loved if they just put the original 14 minute version of Even Less on Stupid Dream. I don't really like the way the 7 min version ends

Some great PT updates:

A great interview with Mr. Barbieri about his work with Japan, getting into playing the keys, and his current studio/live setup and gear: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.co.uk/page/News?news_id=104247

And even better:
Over £4,.000 has now been donated to Teenage Cancer Trust from sales of the live Atlanta download, many thanks for your support!

I also got the new Oceansize album, and their live boxset, coz I know Steve has toured with, and knows these guys. 
The new Oceansize is amazing! Let me know how Feed to Feed is... I still need to get it, despite its cost. LOL

I bought Demians - Building an Empire simply because they toured with PT. I love this CD. 
 

Ah, Demians. I still need to get that one.
Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while...

I don't have the Ephrat album, but I've got the first OSI disc. That song ShutDOWN is the best track on it! 

The new Anathema is a great album.

You should also check out Israeli band Ephrat's "No One's Words" which was mixed and mastered by Wilson. And he did guest vocals and lyrics on a track (Shutdown) on OSI's debut album Smile
 
(These are two bands I like that are SW linked). I also really like Anathema's latest as well as their previous studio album A Natural Disaster.

Not bad that version of 'Disappear'. I still prefer the original though. That soundcloud is a fantastic hub for rare Wilson/PT stuff. Makes it better that it's Steven himself uploading the songs

A Western Home - from the Insurgentes DVD, love that track and am dying for a file copy.
 
If you open the soundcloud link and scroll through, I'm 100% sure SW has uploaded that and the other 5 tracks from the Insurgentes bonus disc
 
I ripped the 6 bonus audio tracks off the DVD so I can listen to them on my stereo or MP3 player.
 
DVD Decrypter extracts them as 24 bit wav files then (if required) you can convert to MP3 (I used my music software Media Monkey).

Any guitarists (or PT fanboys! ) should find this clip from the RAH of John Wesley's f**king insane pedalboard quite interesting, I certainly did:



And as a guitarist I can't explain my envy for that rig amazing.

^He's uploaded the bonus tracks from the Japanese versions and the deluxe edition of Insurgentes, but A Western Home is only on the Insurgentes DVD Film's 2nd DVD.
