ambient Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) I’m a great fan of both. For obvious reasons, release of the new album has been postponed. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR1r7fnIS3ya9xbYMkKAbVCuf6ZBFI1mF1-jsa5kYkwhmwfFwobbW2OXC1E&v=uROM05_ARxc Edited May 26, 2020 by ambient 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewblack Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Thanks for sharing this. What a nice guy, and what a great player too. I feel a bit out of the loop not knowing who Steve Wilson is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellyfish Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Looking forward to the new Steven Wilson album - Nick's Spector has always sounded monstrous. This track is one of my favourites for the bass alone: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel a bit out of the loop not knowing who Steve Wilson is. His previous band was Porcupine Tree, with Richard Barbieri, Colin Edwin and Gavin Harrison. He’s half of the duo No-man with Tim Bowness. He’s done some lovely stuff minimal drony stuff as Bass Communion. He was briefly in Rain, tree crow with Mick Kahn, Richard Barbieri and Steve Jensen. Half of the duo Blackfield. He’s had his own band now for about ten years, featuring some amazing players. Nick has been in from the start, as has Adam Holzman who played with Miles Davis at one point. He’s also remixed and produced for dozens of artists. I think he has been referred to as a best kept secret, but he’s had quite a bit of success, especially in the past 5 years or so, with sell out nights at RAH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Thank you, I will sample some of his work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) Steven Wilson has also played with Mick Karn (not Kahn @ambient ) on the Bestial Cluster album. He's also known as the barefoot player. 😉 His music is often described as depressive by the press, but as he said when performing live, there must be loads of depressed people around as his concerts are always crowded if not sold out... He's also a gifted sound wizard having remastered more albums than most sound engineers, including King Crimson's ones. Yes, the British best kept secret indeed, must be 001 in fact. 😎 Check this out with former Japan members, the JBK project : And watch his feet... Edited May 26, 2020 by Hellzero Steven Wilson instead of "he"... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the rockier stuff there’s later Porcupine Tree, particularly Fear of a blank planet and Deadwing. For more pop orientated music listen to his work in No-man, especially Schoolyard ghosts and Together we're stranger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drumming on the To The Bone album is stunning: Jeremy Stacey and Craig Blundell. Craig (an ex-marine) played on the TTB tour and was on the Beeb’s recent drumming series. I found this documentary very interesting... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
