    That video was accompanying Routine when I saw him in Royal Albert Hall. Really fit it I thought. And all the Jess Cope videos are fantastic. She was actually there on the night too!

    Saw it was released earlier but forgot to watch it when I got home.

    Wow, what an amazingly powerful video. Artistically incredible as well.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Steve being Steve and releasing more music
    22nd January will see the release of a new Steven Wilson album “4 ½”, so titled because it forms an interim release between Steven’s recently released fourth album Hand. Cannot. Erase. and the next studio album.

    4 ½ comprises 6 tracks with a total running time of 37 minutes. 4 of the songs originated during the sessions for Hand. Cannot. Erase., and one from the recording sessions for the previous album The Raven that Refused to Sing. The final track is a version of Don’t Hate Me, a song originally recorded by Porcupine Tree in 1998, and is based on a live recording made on the recent tour of Europe with additional recording later done in the studio. The vocals on this new version are sung as a duet between Steven and Ninet Tayeb.

    Would make sense with the tour at the same time. Looking forward to it.

    I'm chuffed with this news, half expected to see Ireland ignored again. This is his first gig in Ireland as a solo artist. He's also doing a Belfast date.

    Tickets will be sold through See Tickets, here.

    Thanks to Vital Transformation I got a seat in the 5th row on Nick's side, which is pretty much ideal for me. Nick Beggs is a major reason I want to see this band again, properly: both times I've seen them in the past, I've had poor seats far away and off centre. :D

    I'll be on my own. Not sure if Mrs Seachto7 would like it, but would be rude to buy just the 1!

    Standing sold out by the looks of it. I'll hold off until closer to the time, and someone might be moving one on...

    I was at a seated gig upstairs before in the Olympia and it was ok, not great to be honest.

    It's a fully seated show. My tickets are in the Circle but right down the front so hoping for the good view and sound now.

    New song The Same Asylum As Before available through streaming services, starting here: https://stevenwilson.lnk.to/TSAABSO

    I like it - it rocks, Steven's singing in a different (falsetto) register for some it, harmony vocals are strong, and there's some tasty guitar in there too. :D

    Another new song, I like it.

    Some negative reaction on his Facebook because it's "not prog" :rolleyes:

    Comment 1, dislikes cos it's not prog and wants it to sound the same as other albums. He probably describes himself as ironic.
