It's nice to see an interview where the questions are as thoughtful as the responses.  Really good interview.

Excellent interview indeed! About the mandatory Porcupine Tree question, one thing that caught my atention was that SW admited explicity that, if PT had continued, they would recorded the same records from its solo career. I always felt strongly this way, specially about the last 2 SW's albums. And about this question, I think it's time to reformulate it to this one :"Would you play with Gavin Harrison again?". Personally it's what I miss most of the band. With no disrespect to Craig Bludell or any other drummer, but SW music + GH drumming is the perfect match IMO.

I personally belive that despite PT music being great, they did the right thing by calling it quits. Many bands nowadays are making money on the back of their 2 decades old success without giving the bands a new story to get excited about. I also think that it takes a lot of courage to admit that their last output had been sub-optimal.

I miss Gavin working with Steven a lot too but I definitely think that SW would play with Gavin again. I think Gavin even recorded the drum tracks for a few songs on To The Bone. I think SW didn’t use those tracks though (I could be wrong)

Gavin is great and all, but Richard Barbieri is the real MVP for Porcupine Tree, aside from Steven of course. The amazing atmospheres he creates with his soundscapes are what I miss from Porcupine Tree the most in Steven's solo work.

Of the former members I most want to see SW work with again, Gavin is a distant 3rd on my list, with Edwin and Barbieri duking it out for first place.

I will check out that interview later tonight.

I don't think he has any intention of working with them.
In fact, I would not be surprised if his next album is with a completely different set of musicians.

Yup, he definitely mentioned that in an interview a little while ago. That Gavin had recorded drum tracks for at least one To The Bone track but SW ended up not using his takes.

I think Richard opened some shows for him on his last tour so it appears as if they’re on positive terms. I assumed they had a falling out of some sort near the end of PT. I’d love him to work with Steven again as he was easily my favorite part of PT. That makes Colin the only member that SW has not had any professional dealings with since PT. I wonder if he’s the one on bad terms with SW.

They shared a very warm public embrace at one of the Albert Hall shows (can't recall if it was the second or third. Think it must have been the third because of where I was sat).

Burning Shed and Eagle absolutely fucked up on the distribution. About half the orders didn't get shipped until yesterday. Burning Shed knew about the issue earlier this week but couldn't be arsed to tell its customers, thereby removing the option to purchase from elsewhere on day of release. First world problem, absolutely, but deliberately shitty customer service annoys me.

Anyway, rant over.

Since I didn't have the blu-ray to salivate over yesterday, I listened to a few snippets on Spotify. OH MY LIFE! The sound of the drums! Gosh, they sound so vivid. My suggestion for everyone is to play The Creator Has a Mastertape loud. Very loud indeed! :metal

There's a local record shop I go to to pick up the latest CD/Blu-ray releases, and they only had the CD/DVD edition in. Even Amazon won't have the American release available until the 7th. Weird.

I could only get to watch the first track last night and man this is hands down the his best video presentation. It looks absolutely amazing.
It sounded great as usual. I listened in stereo and didn't try the 5.1 output yet.
Regarding shipping I am honestly very surprised I got it on release day. Probably first time in my life something I pre-ordered and it came as planned.

I havn’t checked lately, but I got my pre order BD/CD in the mail yesterday from Amazon US... it wasn’t completely clear in the description when I ordered (mentioned DVD and BD) but it was the BD That I received.

Absolutely awesome BD/performance. I so do wish I could have seen him on this tour.

Edit: sorry, can see it is out of stock till the 7th.

I saw that two, and I was wondering about it too. Wasn't Steven always the dude who had no family so he can fully concentrate on making music?

Don't you think of making less/less good music now just because you have a girlfriend, Steven  >:(

Just kidding of course.

Well, during the last years, he seemed more and more relaxed on stage. Maybe the girlfriend has something to do with it?

Just finished watching Home Invasion with some friends, and when this moment came up, we laughed uncontrollably. Maybe it's because we think he looks like a Jim Henson creation. Either way, good show!

Just placed my pre-order for the CD/Blu-Ray combo.  I'm really still a noob to SW.  Saw him during his last tour on a whim without knowing the music and while I enjoyed the show, I haven't come back to his music.  Once I get these CDs I will be rocking out to it as his concert approaches and I'll see him again more armed with his music knowledge.

Too bad I won't have Jackie to rock out with this time around

Also, reason I just did it is because I've got Nick's radio show streaming and they are playing Arriving Somewhere But Not Here from the live album and it sounds fantastic.  Reminded me I should just place the order before I forget.

The Home Invasion blu ray is beautiful.  I haven't watched the entire show, but I've had a couple sessions watching a few songs here and there.  The quality is superb, both picture and such crisp audio.  The CDs sound fantastic in my car too (well, ripped them to my phone since my new car doesnt even have a CD player anymore).  The shots from above the hall looking down are just so awesome, plus the front of the band screen with the projection came off really well on video too.  Looks amazing. 

Having said that, I think this confirms what I thought I might have felt before with my intro to Steven Wilson.  I like his music, but not all of it.  There's some stuff he does that just doesn't interest me.  Then there's some stuff he does that is just amazing.  I guess that's just because it's a solo prog artist, they have the freedom to go beyond any certain sound and sometimes its a hit and sometimes its a miss, for me.  That goes for someone who I love like Devin Townsend as well where their music is just more than any single style.

I'll be seeing him in less than two weeks, should be a fun show.  I'm expecting to go into this concert much more armed with his music knowledge though than the first time.

If I remember correctly, a few weeks ago there was some discussion here regarding Steven Wilson's pronunciation. I've always thought he sometimes pronunces 'N's as 'L's but I didn't have any example in mind at the moment so I didn't post anything. I've been on a bit of a SW binge lately and I've got three examples now, from three different projects to boot. Please keep in mind that I'm not a native English speaker plus my hearing is so-so - it could very well be that I'm just wrong.

Porcupine Tree > Stupid Dream > Even Less

And I may / just waste away / from doing Lothing

Steven Wilson > The Raven that Refused to Sing > The Raven that Refused to Sing

But I Leed you Low / I Leed our former life  (being generous it could be that he says "I'll need" instead of "I need")

I had a Blackfield example too but I can't find it now, will post it later if I remember.
