Der Steven Wilson Fanthread

[gelini71]

Porcupine Tree ist jetzt bei Bandcamp und da gibt es als große Überraschung den allerersten Liveauftritt der Band vom 04.12.1993 als Download zu kaufen (leider keine CD Version), ebenso diverse andere Live Raritäten.

Bandcamp

[Vince]

Wäre schon interessant, aber für Downloads mach ich auch weiterhin kein Geld locker.

[gelini71]

Man kann es ja auch kostenfrei streamen, so zum reinhören

[gelini71]

Steven Wilson animiert uns in der jetzigen Krisenzeit bei kleinen Plattenläden zu bestellen



Irgendwie finde ich das Regal hinter ihm interesanter als das was er mir da erzählt

[Vince]

Und ich bin irritiert von der Frisur. Sieht aus, als hätte ein Fan sich nachts mit der Schere ein Souvenir geholt. Gelini, sagtest du nicht, du trägst gerade lang?

[gelini71]

habe getragen - mittlerweile komplett auf 2,1 mm gekürzt, sozusagen "Corona Homemade Style"

Meine Frau sah das Video und meinte nur trocken "Deine Plattensammlung ist größer als sein"

[Sir Jay]

Das was du da im Hintergrund siehst, sind keine Schallplatten, sondern einzelne Ordnungspläne, die Orientierung schaffen sollen in gewissen Segementen seines eigentlichen Platten-Archiv-Komplex im Keller

[gelini71]

das würde die dicken Boxen in der unteren reihe erklären - Danke für die Aufklärung

Neue Podcastserie
Hörste hier

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?

[Sir Jay]

mensch ich glaube da werde ich mal reinhören

[Vince]

"isn't it"
"doesn't it"
"aren't they"

das hab ich aus den Podcasts vom Steven mitgenommen.

Und Bowness kommt akustisch wesentlich freundlicher herüber als er aussieht, Podcast ist also voll sein Medium. ;)

[Sir Jay]

Habe mir mal die Folge 3 - "1992" angehört.

Muss sagen, die beiden erfüllen wirklich ( vor allem Bowness) das klischee der leicht abgehobenen MusikNerds, die aus ihrem akademischen Elefenbeintum heraus Platten bewerten und vergleichen, von denen der Normalsterbliche noch nie etwas gehört hat

Fand die Gepsrächsrunde dennoch sehr interessant und habe mir so einige Empfehlungen mal herausgeschrieben.

Befremdlich fand ich dennoch, dass einige große 1992er Werke hier nicht erwähnt wurden.

Von Wilson hätte ich jetzt ein Wort zu "Images & Words" von Dream Theater erwartet, aber ok Metal ist wohl bei beidem nicht so im Fokus.
Genausowenig Grunge weswegen "Dirt" von Alice in Chains fehlt.

Angel Dust von Faith No More oder Henry's Dream von Nick Cave hätte ich noch erwartet...Pustekuchen. Stattdessen lauter Künstler, die angeblich die größten ihrer Zeit sein sollen, von denen ich (und ich wette die meisten anderen Menschen) nie was gehört haben. Und genau aus dem Grunde werde ich die mal antesten, um dann genauso mit meinem Spezialwissen angeben zu können

[gelini71]

Liste doch bitte mal auf was die so empfehlen - mir fehlt einfach die Zeit und die Lust die Dinger komplett durchzuhören....

[Sir Jay]

was ich mir herausgepickt habe:

The Black Crowes - The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion
Red House Painters - Down Colorful Hill

und Tin Machine (wenn auch nicht aus 1992)

[gelini71]

Red House Painters sagt mir jetzt auf Anhieb auch nichts, die Black Crowes sind schon recht bekannt. Tin Machine ? Oh je David Bowie macht auf Hardrocker, ist seinerzeit von der Musikpresse genüßlich zerissen worden und hat auch mich in keiner Weise erreicht.

[gelini71]

Mal was neues altes für die Vinylfreunde

Porcupine Tree - Pure Narcotic EP

When 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.

Tracklist

A
1. Black Dahlia (3:41)
2. Futile (5:03)

B
1. Pure Narcotic (5:18)
2. Small Fish (3:23)
3. Stranger by the Minute (4:45)

Limitiert auf 2000 Exemplare im blauen Vinyl

[deBohli]

Oh sehr cool. Allerdings reicht mein Geld zurzeit nicht auch noch dafür.

Superdeluxe Edition

Kommt auch noch als Vinyl, Picture Disc sowie als Doppel CD. aber diese Box ist natürlich das NonPlusUltra

[deBohli]

Jaaaaa!
Das Album ist so genial, und zu gerne tausche ich meine alte, eher flach klingende CD mit dieser Kiste aus. Geil. Fehlt noch Elemental.

[gelini71]

"Elemental" ist imo kein TFF Album sondern ein Roland Orzabal Soloalbum

[deBohli]

Na gut, er war der einzige, der noch dabei war. Trotzdem wurde es unter dem Bandnamen verkauft und die Songs sind bis heute fantastisch.

[gelini71]

Das King Crimson Debüt bekommt ein Update - imo etwas arg übertrieben....

“…an uncanny masterpiece.” – Pete Townshend, 1969

Wer dafür rund 165 Euro (plus VK) bezahlen will der schaue bei Burning Shed vorbei, da gibt es auch eine komplette Trackliste

[deBohli]

Alle Jahre wieder, mit noch mehr Archivaufnahmen die sich niemand mehr als nur einmal anhören wird.

[gelini71]

wenn überhaupt
Aber ein Album von gerade mal rund 40 Minuten Laufzeit mal eben auf 26 CDs aufzublasen ist imo schon etwas arg krank

[gelini71]

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.
