Ancestral is the song that he played on his last tour. I'm really looking forward to this.

Not sure exactly what the cover art is supposed to be but it looks friggin' cool.

That is not the kind of cover art I would expect for a Steven Wilson album, but I actually like it!

I am also really looking forward to this. His solo albums have continued to improve IMO. I am not sure Raven can be topped but I can hardly wait to find out.

This cover has some Björk vibe to it...

SW has a third video up, talking about the artwork and packaging. The deluxe set will be great

From sw's website

Nice to see you back Otto!

 

[0tto]

thanks Robert. still plenty of time to figure out details about upcoming release, albeit, to be honest,
surround releases of this guy i'm buying with my eyes closed and ears shut down

That musical bit at the end of the video sounded very, very nice. Just hope there's a stand-alone blu-ray. I can admire SW for wanting to create a whole deluxe package as an artistic work but personally I'm not interested in spending money on anything other than the 5.1 disc.

 

[timbre4]

Every one of his projects has had a standalone 5.1 disc so there's no reason to think otherwise.

I'm thinking exactly the opposite. I regret not buying the deluxe edition of Raven! Would really like to read the stories but afaik they are only available in the deluxe edition.

Well hey there you go. BTW any interest in a hard-cover Aqualung coffee table book? lol.

You are definitely not alone 0tto. I see lots of people commenting that they miss Porcupine Tree. I am quite the opposite, however, despite being a Porcupine Tree fan since 1995. I listen to a lot more of his solo work than Porcupine Tree these days. In Absentia was my favorite album for years, but the last time I listened to it I actually felt disappointed. It just sounded to bright and compressed. I actually wish Steven would re-mix that one himself, or at least re-master ES's mix.

If I listen to Porcupine Tree these days, I usually pick something from Signify through Stupid Dream.

I can hardly wait for the new one! I'll likely get the Deluxe edition. I have all the previous ones, including The Incident, so no point in stopping now!
