Der Steven Wilson Fanthread

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)

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.

Mit rund 143 € zwar für das was es ist recht günstig (plus Versand) aber bis auf die beiden Demos von "Disappear" müßte ich alles bereits haben...ich verzichte, zumal ja auch noch die große Mansun Box zum gleichen Termin kommt.

[deBohli]

Der Mehrwert ist, nebst dem Buch, sehr klein. Da verzichte ich mehr als gerne.

[gelini71]

ich habe ja die beiden Vinylboxen und da sind ja auch bereits dicke Booklets dabei, ich glaube kaum das in dem Buch noch viel neues stehen wird....

[gelini71]

Like most musicians I'm currently unable to tour or perform in front of a live audience, so instead I'm starting a live in the studio video series called THE FUTURE BITES SESSIONS, creating new stripped down versions of songs in my own studio. Appropriately for Halloween the first one is a performance of new single KING GHOST. Please feel free to suggest any songs you would like me to revisit in this way, it's going to be fun!

Der nächste Steven Wilson Remix steht an....den ich bewußt ignorieren werde weil ich die Gruppe nicht mag

Black Sabbath - Vol. 4

4CD and 5LP super deluxe editions with outtakes & live material

Black Sabbath‘s 1972 album Vol 4 will be reissued early next year as expansive CD and vinyl super deluxe edition box sets.

The band’s fourth album (obviously…) features tracks like ‘Supernaut’, ‘Changes’, and ‘Snowblind’ and has been newly remastered for this reissue.

However, there’s some exciting bonus material available in both the 4CD and 5LP super deluxe editions (both formats feature exactly the same audio).

First off, there’s six previously unreleased studio outtakes on the second disc of both sets. These have been newly mixed by remixmeister Steven Wilson using the analog multi-tracks.

Additionally, the Vol 4 box sets feature 11 additional studio recordings that spotlight alternative takes, false starts and snippets of studio dialogue. Again, these have been remixed by Steven Wilson and include several alternative takes for ‘Wheels Of Confusion’ as well as outtakes for ‘The Straightener’ and ‘Snowblind’. These are contained within CD 3 of the CD box and are spread across LPs two and three in the vinyl set.

Finally, the last CD (or LPs four and five) brings together live recordings of the era, recreating a typical setlist from Black Sabbath’s tour for Vol 4. Recorded in March 1973 at various stops along the band’s U.K. tour, these recordings were originally slated for a live album that was ultimately shelved and this represents the first time a full 1973 Sabbath show has been recreated. The live audio has been newly mixed by Richard Digby Smith using the original 16-track analog tapes.

Both versions of the Vol 4 box sets come with extensive booklets featuring liner notes, rare photos, and a poster with previously unpublished early artwork of the album using the working title Snowblind.

These Vol 4 box sets will be released on 12 February 2021.

SuperDeluxeEdition

verstehe nicht warum es ausgerechnet die Scheibe ist...
