STEVEN WILSON - ANOTHER WEEKENDER

  • steven wilson: another weekender
        (2019, cd, --, private release)
Apparently only available at Steven Wilson's concerts in 2019, this "Another Weekender" is a fabulous album.
I received a digital copy a little while ago and I had no choice but to add this CD to my want-list. It's just too good.

Three tracks, although the first track actually is one large (60 minutes) recording of six pieces that got performed in concert in 2013.
For the 2013 tracks (previously made available on CD as part of a VIP promo package), the line-up is unbelievable:
  • Theo Travis: trumpet
  • Nick Beggs: bass
  • Adam Holzmann: keyboards
  • Chad Wackerman: drums
  • Guthrie Govan: guitar
  • Steven Wilson: guitar, keyboards, vocals

I couldn't fine a date for the second track, but the final one got recorded in concert in 2016: David Bowie's 'Space Oddity'...

What an album...

Here's the first track !!

STEVEN WILSON - THE RAVEN THAT REFUSED TO SING

I have been listening a lot to Steven Wilson's "The Raven That Refused To Sing" last week.
The album includes 6 pieces of beautifully arranged progressive rock music.
Features Nick Beggs, Adam Holzman, Theo Travis, Marco Minnemann and Guthrie Govan (!!).

STEVEN WILSON - GET ALL YOU DESERVE

Thanks to the ongoing lobbying efforts of my fellow Zappa-freak-friends, I started listening to Steven Wilson.
I did take a false start as I checked out some other bloke called Wilson on YouTube (and wasn't impressed), but the real deal sounds quite amazing.

"Get All You Deserve" captured Steven Wilons and his band during their "Grace For Drownin" 2012 tour in Mexico City.
Great tunes, astonishing musicians - including Theo Travis (Gong, Soft Machine Legacy) and Marco Minnemann (Aristocrats - all in a beautiful package : One video DVD, two audio CDs and a Blu-Ray disc.


Playing the DVD on my computer did produce some weird volume fluctuations.
Caused by standard software dolby settings.
It did sound great after a change of these settings.
