I only just recently picked up HCE (after getting a streaming press link before it came out) so I'm only just now getting the chance to truly sink my teeth into it.

It's just freakin amazing. I'm just on "freakin amazing" overload lately. Just ***SO*** much good music coming out right now.

Like what? I'm curious what amazing new music you've been listening to recently.

I can't speak for him, but I agree with his sentiments:

Riverside, The Dear Hunter, Ghost, Amorphis, Iron Maiden, and Unified Past all in the last week or two.

Spock's Beard too. There are some more big albums in the next month too. Scale the Summit, Stratovarius, and Subsignal just to cover the S bands

Sacul · « **Reply #1895 on:** September 11, 2015, 09:46:35 PM »

David Maxim Micic released the best EPs of the year just a few months ago. It's been a fantastic year for music.

New Riverside, new Steven Wilson, new Iron Maiden, new Spock's Beard...and that's just in my latest haul.

In reflecting over the last year, I'm reminded how many bands are releasing stuff at the absolute peak of their craft. The new Between the Buried and Me and Haken releases leap immediately to mind.

Just got turned on to a new band called The Great Discord that's totally blowing my doors off. Native Construct is another brand new amazing band that I can't get enough of.

All of the above (with the exception of Haken) are things I've picked up just in the last couple of months. I still can't digest it all. That's *A LOT* of new music to take in in such a short time.

Looking forward to the new Redemption, Haken and of course DT. I am hopeful that the new DT will be a totally different style than the self titled cd.

Just bought Steven Wilsons Grace for the Drowning and am really enjoying most of the cd. Steven and his band have a knack for setting the mood in whatever style they play. I am going to try Insurgentes next.

Steven Wilson September 2015 Tour Rehearsals (setlist spoilers)

Hopefully they'll play all those PT songs in February!

Onno · « **Reply #1900 on:** September 13, 2015, 07:47:08 AM »

I was tempted to watch the whole thing including the spoilers, but after Steven said 'rehearsing two hours of new repertoire' I closed the video. I NEED TICKETS

Xanthul · « **Reply #1901 on:** September 13, 2015, 09:14:48 AM »

Seriously considering a 4+ hour solo drive to Toulouse next Friday to see the show. Watching Wilson is the most important music related goal I have for the foreseeable future and I just can't keep missing opportunities.

And he's wearing a Coil shirt, no less!

It'll be a damn shame if the RAH gigs don't get released as, at least, audio CDs.

Totally worth 8hrs of driving IMO. But I've also traveled a lot to see him.

mikemangioy · « **Reply #1904 on:** September 15, 2015, 12:30:18 PM »

Tour starts pretty much now, ignite anti-spoiler mode for the following week.
Although I've been spoiled some songs and expect some obvious tracks, I feel ok since there's 4 hours of material, and I really don't know what they'll play.
EXCITED

Yeah, I think 10 hours would probably be my limit for SW, if everything else allowed. There're only a couple bands/artists that I can say that for.

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #1906 on:** September 15, 2015, 03:54:48 PM »

What's the best Steven Wilson album to get? I'm currently listening to... The Raven that Refused to Sing, its quite nice. It sounds like Porcupine Tree to me, but that being said I never got hardout into them like most people here.

senecadawg2 · « **Reply #1907 on:** September 15, 2015, 04:06:12 PM »

I'd start either go in chronological or reverse-chronological order, with an edge to Hand. Cannot. Erase., since it's newer and more indicative of where he's at right now.

Sacul · « **Reply #1908 on:** September 15, 2015, 04:08:12 PM »

Depends on your tastes. Dark and experimental, with some shoegaze and drone: Insurgentes. Jazzy, proggy like King Crimson, yet eclectic: Grace for Drowning. 70s prog tribute: The Raven... Modern approach, with come electronic and lots of feels, Hand. Cannot. Erase.

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #1909 on:** September 15, 2015, 04:18:48 PM »

alright so according to your post I should be going

Grace
Insurgentes
Raven
Hand lots of feels hand raise

Sacul · « **Reply #1910 on:** September 15, 2015, 09:33:40 PM »

Pretty much

Btw, EP with songs that didn't fit in HCE kind of confirmed to be released earlier next year. Plus some extra details on other stuff.

TioJorge · « **Reply #1911 on:** September 15, 2015, 10:17:53 PM »

What the fuck? Has it seriously been two years since HCE released? Jesus. Fucking. Christ. (follow up album?) I cannot believe that...I feel like it was released at most last year sometime, if that...wow. That is baffling. I dunno why these two years flew by for me but they did. Immensely.

And AWWWWWESOOOOOOOME news about the EP. Some of my favorite songs of his, whether by PT or solo (a lot, actually) are from b-sides, songs that didn't make the cut, etc. Fantastic news, I can't wait to hear what's on it. Only reason I don't consider PT's The Incident to be a complete shithole is because I really like the songs on the second disc (for the most part).

bout to crash · « **Reply #1912 on:** September 15, 2015, 10:50:28 PM »

Huh? It was released earlier this year. Or did you mean to say Raven?

Onno · « **Reply #1913 on:** September 16, 2015, 01:26:48 AM »

I think what he means is that Steven said in the interview that 'it's been two years since I finished the writing for HCE' (second-to-last paragraph).

That really amazes me as well. It probably took a long time to record then!

senecadawg2 · « **Reply #1914 on:** September 25, 2015, 09:36:42 AM »

I'm surprised to see no one commenting on these most recent SW shows. I won't spoil anything, but we really should. Interesting set lists- wish I was somewhere in Europe right about now.

TioJorge · « **Reply #1915 on:** September 25, 2015, 10:55:43 AM »

I think this shows how disconnected I've been till recently.

Wow. Yeah I read that wrong, but also could totally believe that two years passed. Fuuuuck me.

BRGM · « **Reply #1916 on:** September 25, 2015, 11:21:37 AM »

Oh yeah the new setlists indeed, I must get to see him this time, can't miss him times in a row, it's fucking ridiculous!! But yeah, he's pulled out some really neat songs.

KevShmev · « **Reply #1917 on:** September 25, 2015, 08:45:34 PM »

It's good to see he's playing so many PT songs on his current solo tour, although that gives less room for songs from his solo albums. I assume My Book of Regrets is the new song as yet unreleased?

He's played most of the solo songs to death after the last two tours. I suppose there are Insurgentes songs and leftovers that could be thrown in, though. And "Cut Ribbon."

"My Book of Regrets" is formerly Song X from previous setlists, refined and finished. The poppy one, I guess – waiting for the EP to hear it, myself.

Zantera · « **Reply #1919 on:** September 26, 2015, 11:41:03 AM »

When is he ever gonna bring out Salvaging? Probably the best one from Insurgentes and a top5 song if you only count his solo songs.

KevShmev · « **Reply #1920 on:** September 26, 2015, 11:55:40 AM »

I don't quite rank Salvaging that high, but it is still pretty awesome, and I'd love to see him play it.

I'm just happy I got to see him on that last tour. While the current tour would certainly melt my face off

, I am thrilled I got to see all of the Raven and most of the GfD material played in one show.

RoeDent · « **Reply #1921 on:** September 26, 2015, 03:32:34 PM »

I know we're at the end of the day, but it's 4 years since Grace for Drowning was released today.

orcus116 · « **Reply #1922 on:** September 26, 2015, 05:04:05 PM »

I was at a parade today (I'm in a marching band) and they had Trains blasting on the loud speaker at the end of the parade before step-off.

TioJorge · « **Reply #1923 on:** September 26, 2015, 07:06:58 PM »

Nice! Funny you mention hearing that outside of the norm; i rewatched the movie 4 Brothers today and realized that, for an extremely brief moment, they had Shallow playing when the brothers meet at a bar towards the beginning-middle of the movie. I was stunned because first off, the bar does NOT look like a place that would have that playing, but also the movie itself is just a super random film to have PT featured.

Wow that's awesome. Probably not his best but still SW's most intriguing, interesting, and ambitious album imo
