the man is the best thing that happened to progressive music in a long time...however I don't get his obsession with Israel, it's pretty weird...

The upcoming tour with King's X should be sweet.

Definatly one i will be checking out:thumb:

Alright, I'm new to this forum (first post actually) and if there's one thing to be known about me, it's that I idolize Steven Wilson. The man is such musical genius it's disgusting, definitely the Beethoven of modern progressive rock music. And yeah he's extremely pretentious and self-satisfying, but that doesn't mean the music he makes isn't amazing!

Anyways, just thought I'd mention Porcupine Tree has a new album coming out, although that's probably old news to a lot of you guys. But yeah he says that the album is going to be comprised of a single 55 minute long track, and there is a possibility it will be a double disc album. So one disc would be entirely devoted to the single song, and the other disc would have the song broken apart into seperate tracks plus a few additional songs. And all that is due to be released some time in September! I'm extremely excited and curious to see how it will be different from FoaBP; maybe a departure from the heavier music? Who knows, but I have very high hopes for this album!

If anybody has more information regarding the album, or any other Steven Wilson project I would be most pleased to hear about it!

Rock on music fans!

really? two great bands i'd love to see

I really don't like this guys music or production. For me the Wilson Opeth albums sound so dull. As does Porcupine Tree's albums. I love the video where he owns Mikael at a prog quiz though.

I like Steven. I don't call him genius but I admire his ability to have many music projects and make more music styles. It fits to my diversity so for me his music is something what I was looking for. :bowdown:

What do you think about his solo album Insurgentes? Is here somebody who likes it?
My fave songs are Harmony Korine, Only Child and Abandoner.








And what about NSRGNTS RMXS - Insurgentes remixes?
My number one is definitelly Abandoner - Danse Macabre Mix.

I haven't yet heard the Insurgentes remix album and there were only a couple of tracks from the original album that grabbed my attention. Venemo Para Las Hadas was my favourite off the album.

Insurgentes is fantastic.

How many projects (ones created-so not production jobs or featuring on an album) does the man actually
have? I can't seem to find a reliable source...

Hi, you have really long reply in thread of Porcupine Tree ;)

The right source is his official web page - Steven Wilson Headquarters
