I don't know. I hear a lot of Talk Talk sound in that track and I'm not, in any way, a Talk Talk fan. I prefer the Pariah track a lot more. Hmmm! Personal preference.
Absolutely. Steven's new management under Caroline/Universal is totally bungling this.(and oh, shouldn't those of us that pre-ordered - especially for a super deluxe set, at least be able to get an official download of this without having to pay or sign up to some service?)
Steven Wilson has premiered yet another new track from "To The Bone".
This time it's "Song Of I" which features Swiss Singer Sophie Hunger.

Can't say I really dig the song parts very much, but there's an amazing middle section featuring some superb orchestral arrangements!
This song in particular reminds me of something that Peter Gabriel would write and record.
Let us know what you all think of this new track!
A little peeved at there now being 3 songs released and the album pre-orders from iTunes can have them, yet I spring big $$ for the deluxe box and cannot get a legit download without paying for it.
Doesn't bother me one bit. I'd rather wait until the full album is released than listen to a few low quality files.
‘Permanating’ represents a departure from the rest of the album and the more melancholic material I'm known for in that it's probably the most joyous piece of pure pop I've ever recorded. In my mind this is what ABBA and Electric Light Orchestra would sound like as produced by Daft Punk! While I expect it to create healthy debate amongst my listeners, it's one of the songs I'm most proud of on the new record because it's such a different approach for me, and I thrive from changing my sound and trying new things. Production of a video for the song is in progress, news on that soon. In the meantime, hope you enjoy!
Don't judge the album prematurely based on the singles so far...they will make more sense when heard in the context of the album. And "Permanating" may even grow on you if you give it a chance. There's a couple of fantastic rock songs you've yet to hear, plus a couple of downbeat emotional heavyweights that rival or maybe even surpass the song "The Raven that Refused to Sing." Those craving a bit of prog will be deliriously happy about "Detonation," which features a guitar solo by David Kollar that is every bit as epic and thrilling as the guitar solos by Guthrie Govan on "Drive Home," "Regret #9," and "Ancestral." Steven also plays a lot of absolutely killer guitar solos throughout this album. The drummers kick ass - plenty of air drumming moments!
