Steven is playing a new song on this tour, much like when he brought out Luminol on the Grace For Drowning-tour. I can't wait to hear it.

Sketchy · « **Reply #2732 on:** October 17, 2013, 01:05:18 PM »

He refused to tell us the name of it, referring to it only by "Part Five Of Something" and also by "Lick My Love Pump"

Steven Wilson's new song is epic as balls. It's also part of a much longer piece (and it's 15 minutes in itself).

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

On paper that sounds like an over-the-top and perhaps kind of pretentious idea, but I think (or at least hope) Steven knows how to execute it well

Well that's essentially what "Time Flies" is, eh? I mean, maybe not "epic as balls" (what does that even mean?) but a long and awesome part of a larger piece.

Sketchy · « **Reply #2738 on:** October 19, 2013, 02:32:52 AM »

It means it was good, prefixed by so many instances of the word "really" that the sentence becomes unsustainable.

In other news, I can't hear that word anymore without thinking of Muse and bobbing my head.

Just came by to say that "Deform to form a star" is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I'm addicted to the joy it makes me feel.

Yes, very true. It's brilliant.

seasonsinthesky · « **Reply #2743 on:** October 21, 2013, 07:48:42 PM »

wait so is there only one new song or are there three? because some setlists have one called "Wreckage," some have one called "Soundtrack to Decline," and some have "Break IT (and you buy it)."

? · « **Reply #2744 on:** October 21, 2013, 11:52:03 PM »

Maybe he's gonna premiere every song from the upcoming album on this tour

Captain Reddot · « **Reply #2745 on:** October 22, 2013, 02:43:22 AM »

When I saw him at the Royal Albert Hall in London, he said, ''Tonight, it's called Wreckage. Tonight, that is.'', so I'm assuming he's changing the name of the song each night. He also specifically told people not to record the new music, so there probably wont be any live recordings of it on youtube.

JayOctavarium · « **Reply #2746 on:** October 22, 2013, 07:16:17 AM »

Is he really opening the show with Trains? Nice!

Zantera · « **Reply #2747 on:** October 22, 2013, 07:52:56 AM »

It seems a bit weird to me that he's playing two PT-songs. I always figured that if he was truly tempted to revisit PT, he would reform the band and they would make an album/tour. If bringing out PT-songs on his solo-tour becomes a permanent thing, he has even less of a reason to reform PT, unless he really really really wants to make another album.

Considering where he is now in his career and the music he is making and with solo album 4 on the way, it doesn't look like he's getting tired of making classic prog rock.

Perpetual Change · « **Reply #2748 on:** October 22, 2013, 08:34:53 AM »

I feel like classic prog rock has always been a big part of Steven Wilson's sound - both in PT and in his solo project. He may have traded Pink Floyd in for King Crimson and Genesis recently, but I still think even TRTRTS is pretty balanced - a good blend of prog, experimental, metal, shoegaze, and art rock.

Zantera · « **Reply #2749 on:** October 22, 2013, 10:17:02 AM »

I think Insurgentes has some Shoegaze-y parts, but I don't hear that in Raven. With that said, my post was more about how he has found his "sound" with the solo-stuff now, and putting out album after album.

Sketchy · « **Reply #2750 on:** October 22, 2013, 01:09:05 PM »

Yeah, it's the same song (although the RAH one I swear had a flute part which wasn't there at Bristol).

As far as his comments were, I don't think he's interested in revisiting it so much as Radioactive Toy is one he considers to be one of his solo songs (he mentioned that to him OSOL was his "first solo record" and I think Trains is probably there, partly because it's as close to a signature song as he's got, and it's one which can have a pretty good solo accoustic rendition (which fits in with the video having the "busker" playing the same song opposite the tourist information centre.

For anyone interested, the intro video is shot in Hertford.

Zantera · « **Reply #2751 on:** October 22, 2013, 03:32:13 PM »

I just think the placement of Trains in the set looks weird. It would make more sense to me if it was an encore-song like Radioactive Toy, not the song that opens the set.

Still, really excited to see him in November.

Nihil-Morari · « **Reply #2752 on:** October 23, 2013, 05:55:57 AM »

He's playing tonight in a venue not even one kilometer from where I am now. Unfortunately I have a gig myself tonight, so I won't be able to make it. To comfort myself, I have just bought the Drive Home Bluray/CD thing.

I can't make it either

Steven will come to Helsinki in November, but it's a Tuesday gig and I can't travel then $:-\$

I agree. Plus being a PT song it should feel like some sort of extra content right? You don't put the appendices at the first chapter

ich bin besser · « **Reply #2756 on:** October 27, 2013, 04:40:11 PM »

It was not the full Trains. Great gig tonight - as usual! And yeah, the new song seems to get a new title every night. It sounded good.
I really like how relaxed Steven got on stage (first saw him in 2003). Might be the Akerfeld influence.

Oh, and he talked a bit about the passing of Lou Reed and his influence on him.

I've been on such a Steven Wilson binge recently

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #2758 on:** October 29, 2013, 02:36:45 PM »

I ordered the Drive Home bluray for the live tracks. Getting a high def version of TRTRTS makes me happy.

XB0BX · « **Reply #2759 on:** October 31, 2013, 05:43:44 PM »

Guys, TRTRTS is my first SW experience and I LOVE it. Please tell me there's another PT or SW album that sounds like it. None of the PT songs I've heard (I haven't heard many) sound remotely similar to this amazing album, and I'm PRAYING that TRTRTS isn't an aberration. I've been listening to this album nonstop for a month, I can't get enough.

Zantera · « **Reply #2760 on:** October 31, 2013, 05:49:25 PM »

The closest one (sound-wise) would be Grace For Drowning. Personally I think it's his best album, so I would recommend it.

TioJorge · « **Reply #2761 on:** October 31, 2013, 06:00:22 PM »

Agreed. I'd try out Deadwing as well, it doesn't exactly 'sound' like GFD or Raven, but it's got that same, dreary, dreamy, melancholic feel to it. The same 'vibe' i guess...I dunno, it's a recommendation if you liked those..

Zantera · « **Reply #2762 on:** October 31, 2013, 06:22:22 PM »

If he's leaning more towards 70's prog rock, I think Signify or The Sky Moves Sideways would be better recommendations if we're talking Porcupine Tree. Those albums are more Pink Floyd-sounding than King Crimson/Yes/Jethro Tull (like on the solo albums), but might be worth checking out. I would still go for Grace For Drowning first.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #2763 on:** October 31, 2013, 08:58:31 PM »

Heartattack In A Layby
The Start of Something Beautiful
Synesthesia

Those are the only ones I can think of at the moment that have the Raven vibe

Happily, Best Buy had the Drive Home EP, so I managed to pick that and the DT Luna Park Blu-ray up in the same trip! #winning
