Urgh I want to wait as well but the positivity I'm seeing for this song slowly chips away at that willpower.

I'm not sure everybody knows this, but Steven has been playing 'Ancestral' live as far back as past October.
Not 'Down To F***', but 'Dream Theater Forums' .

The new tune is definitely my fav of the three we've heard so far.   :tup

I enjoy it but I'm not ready to say it's my favorite of the three. Sure it has a bit more meat on its bones, but there's something to be said for the simple songwriting of the other two. No matter though, I expect all of them to sound better (than the relatively good first impressions) within the context of the full album.

That intro in 3YO (which is also familiar from Air studio videos) is really awesome and catchy! Yes, those were my spoilers.

Narration just seems like the easy way to go. "How do I tell this story through music? Too much work to turn it into actual lyrics... Narration!" Probably not how it went down, just how it feels to me.

I agree. The music itself is fine, but the narration is so annoying and overt to me that it kind of gets int he way of enjoying the song.

I can't think of a specific track being ripped off, but the song does sound pretty Campfire Headphase now that he mentions it.

$99.99 for the Deluxe per Newbury Comics

I like Steven Wilson, but not quite that much. I'm going to wait to pickup the Vinyl (assuming this album is as good as I hope) around release day.

I asked for the deluxe for Christmas from my dad, because I couldn't really think of anything I needed, so I'll be getting it in the mail soon :D

edit: being the meticulous person he is, my dad printed out the receipt and gave it to me in a box for xmas  :lol

Your father is awesome
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

So Steven was not happy about the streaming of his new song ?  :\

hand.cannot.erase.radio.show.but.Steven.Wilson.can

"I have sadly had to remove the latest edition of the DPRP Prog Rock Radio Show, at the request of the management and record label (Kscope) for Mr Steven Wilson. They objected to the show previewing two songs from Mr Wilson's new album and making the show available as a (downloadable) podcast.

In over five years of producing this show, such a move is unprecedented, as both tracks were played from a streaming promo sent to DPRP Radio on behalf of the artist.

DPRP Radio has been available as a downloadable Podcast for over 3 years now. And not a single artist or label has had a need to complain about previewing their music. A 'thank you' for our voluntary efforts is more normal.

Apparently Steven Wilson is very picky in the way that his music is distributed (video's where he's destroying ipods?) and he does not want his music to be able to be downloaded before release date and will do anything he can to avoid that.

It is of course his music but I am saddened that a respected artist, who has been happy to accept coverage from DPRP since his early days recording Porcupine Tree tracks in his bedroom, now feels the need to control his music to such an extent.

I feel especially saddened for the other artists featured on this particular show, most of whom are not supported by a label or management teams, but who were appreciating the extra exposure they were getting.

This edition will be re-listed when the album is released on the 23rd Feb. We will continue to support all progressive artists at DPRP and will publish a full RoundTableReview of hand.cannot.erase in the coming weeks."

I think he's old school with a single released to the radio and not all this with the internet. But like you said Rumbo, his music is to die for so.....

I don't see anything wrong with a musician wanting control as to how and when his music is released.  I know we live in a society now where most want everything immediately, but patience, peeps; the record will be out in a few weeks. :)

I certainly agree with this in principle, but I have one issue with this particular scenario. When promos are sent out, most promoters and such are woefully lacking in general instructions on what can be done with the promo, other than leaking the thing. I have no doubt that DRRP and other stations had no clue on what wishes they should be respecting prior to being asked to pull the podcast, and that part bothers me.

Why can't they just mute the audio for those two tracks and re-up the podcast?

They can still honor those artists that want exposure that aren't on labels that were mentioned by removing the SW tracks. I don't see why the entire podcast has to be taken down because SW wants to be a girl.
