Today I'm launching a brand new podcast with my friend Tim Bowness, THE ALBUM YEARS, details below. The first episode, '1980' is now available on all major podcasting platforms.
Please let us know if you enjoy it in order to encourage us to do more!
On The Album Years podcast, long term friends, collaborators and music nerds Steven Wilson and Tim Bowness regularly meet online to discuss and bicker about their favourite music released during the golden album years, which they reckon to be from around 1965 to the end of the millennium. Each episode focuses on a single year picked at random. At the end of each episode they pick their personal favourites and the album they think had the most long-term impact on music. Can you guess which albums Steven and Tim will pick from 1980, and what would be your favourite albums from that year?
TracklistWhen the Octane Twisted live album was put together in 2012, the plan was to include several recordings from the band's Royal Albert Hall acoustic set. Unfortunately, the recordings contained too many technical issues and the band elected to make studio versions of the songs in the way they had been performed on the night. Work wasn't completed in time to be included on Octane Twisted, and the recordings were shelved until release earlier this year on the official Porcupine Tree Bandcamp page. Due to overwhelming demand they are now released on physical format for the first time.
TracklistUltravox’s first album with Midge Ure(Vocals/Guitar) was originally released in July 1980. Produced by legendary German producer Conny Plank (Neu!, Kraftwerk), it reached number 3 in the UK album chart and top ten in Australia, New Zealand and several European countries.
The album contains 4 UK Top 40 singles; All Stood Still, Passing Strangers and Sleepwalk (which is being issued on 12” for the first time as part of Record Store Day 2020) and the title track ‘Vienna’ which reached No.2 in the UK and Top 10 in seven countries around the world. The single went on to sell over half a million copies in the UK.
This new 6 Disc box set contains 66 tracks, 44 are previously unreleased recordings and mixes. CD’s 1 to 5 contain the original 1980 album analogue production master, a new stereo mix by Steven Wilson, Single versions, B-sides and live tracks, a CD of previously unreleased cassette rehearsals from 1979/80 – including previously unreleased tracks ‘Sound On Sound’ and ‘Animal’ - and a newly mixed concert from St. Albans City Hall in 1980. The DVD, which is audio only, contains a new 5.1 Surround Sound Mix of the Album and B-sides by Steven Wilson along with 24/96 Hi-Res audio of the stereo mixes and the original 1980 masters.
The box set is packaged in a 12”x12” Rigid Slipcase and containing a 20 page 12” square booklet featuring notes from the band, unseen photos from Midge Ure’s and Chris Cross’ personal collection, four A4 Art Prints and 6 discs housed in card wallets in two 12” gatefold album sleeves.

“…an uncanny masterpiece.” – Pete Townshend, 1969
Filmed in London just before lockdown, this is a 4 minute short film using temporary actors to show the concept of the film And No Birds Sing, written by Mike Bennion and Steven Wilson. Directed by Mike Bennion, produced by Gaby Whyte Hart, sound design by Steven Wilson. Due to be cast and in production by late 2021.
And No Birds Sing is a story that crosses genres, having aspects of Psychological Thriller, Horror and Mystery. Reality merges with film and the supernatural when a London director starts to experience strange events and is forced to confront his troubled past. The film blurs the lines of reality, memory and fiction where sound constantly motivates the twists and turns of the action.
