Attitude Indicator posted:https://forms.sonymusicfans.com/campaign/a8kk5xaqp8b6smpn/ There are two 10-second videos on the PT YouTube put up in the last day. Some people have been messing around with reversing the audio and speeding it up, and others have gone into the metadata. It appears to be a snippet from a new song called Harridan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYGmLyjFxaA

That song, if you missed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW5v4Ohxk5k Apparently a lot of the tracks have been stored as WIPs since The Incident, so even if Colin Edwin isn't touring he may be on the album somewhere.

This found its way onto my YT recs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o99pIei5q68 I don't normally like reaction videos, but this guy's are different to most in that he doesn't stop the music every minute to talk at length about what he just heard. Instead he analyses the music as it plays, and attempts to accompany or replicate the chord structure on piano - generally with some success. It's a pretty pro click.

After a mere two years of delay, it looks like I'm finally going to see Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets live in May. I haven't been to a gig of any kind since I saw Alice Cooper backed with the MC5 and the Stranglers in October 2019, so I am stoked.

hatelull posted:My brother is a huge prog nerd and Porcupine Tree is one of his favorites. I did the necessary and grabbed two tickets this morning for the Dallas show at the pre-sale. Pretty solid seats too I think, although pricey. Not really familiar with the venue and this will be a road trip for us. Should be fun though. From everything after Lightbulb Sun they toured with John Wesley on guitar and backing vocals. I don't doubt that they'll find a very good bass player to replace Colin on tour. Now, hush and enjoy the second cut from C/C: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY148yblJdg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEfyq7l3pHs Some information on the tour set: * The entire of C/C will be played. * The rest of the set includes some deep cuts, and is mostly drawn from Fear of a Blank Planet and In Absentia. * There is at least one track on the set list that has never been played live before. * The D on the "track list" of the album is Dignity. There's also a couple of other things come out about the tour. Nathan Navarro will be on bass in place of Colin Edwin (Wilson did the bass parts for the album himself), and Randy McStine is replacing John Wesley on guitar/backing vocals.

Snow Cone Capone posted:Lightbulb Sun and Stupid Dream are great because they're dead-center in that transitionary phase between full-on psychedelic weirdness of the earlier stuff and the heavier/poppier stuff later on. I'm going to be murdered by Steven Wilson if he ever finds out, but I got into Porcupine Tree directly off the back of Four Chords That Made A Million.

OneSizeFitsAll posted:I'm torn between getting the Blu-ray version so I can hear this in 5.1 or the CD so I can listen to it in places other than my basement. The Floyd's 5.1 releases have all sounded amazing. I don't like the cliche of "you haven't heard X until you've heard it in quad", but in the cases of Dark Side and WYWH it's basically true. So many layers spring out.

So, it's Closure. Stephen Wilson wrapped up the gig by saying that there would be a few festivals next year but "that's probably it" .

A whole disc of pre-Collins and two more Ray Wilson songs than I expected. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Ray Wilson - I'm glad they didn't brush him under the rug. But he was completely wrong for Genesis.

Wiltsghost posted:It's a fascinating album to read about though. Gilmour didn't even have a writing credit on it, I don't think, because of Waters. Just a completely dysfunctional mess at the end. The Final Cut is basically just songs that were excised from The Wall for length. Gilmour didn't want a credit on it because as he put it, if they weren't good enough for The Wall they weren't good enough now. I think he was pissed off at the time - When The Tigers Broke Free was certainly a good addition to the movie, and not all the other songs on TFC are bad - but it's still valid to say that as a collection of offcuts it wasn't really necessary and describing it as "essentially a solo album" is 100% accurate.

Steven Wilson gearing up for the new album release at the end of the month. Pretty epic, a lot like the early Porcupine Tree stuff when it was just him pretending to be a lost 70s prog band. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbGkZ31Fmp8

Another cut from The Harmony Codex. It's not strictly prog, but it's pretty decent. Apparently it was written in a way that while it's principally a duet, either artist can perform it solo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRaspkaqR8o

I got into Porcupine Tree after hearing Four Chords, which is hilarious considering how much Wilson dislikes it. On a related note: there's a 5CD box set of the first two No-Man albums up for pre-order. The second album would be of particular interest as it's practically a prototype for later PT albums - Richard Barbieri, Colin Unwin and Chris Maitland all appear on it.

Rageaholic posted:I finally got Porcupine Tree's Closure/Continuation.Live.Amsterdam 07/11/22 Blu-Ray and just finished watching it. Holy poo poo, they're still so good live Yeah. I saw them four days later at their last ever tour gig and it was amazing. My copy of Saucerful of Secrets: Live at the Roundhouse arrives today. Looking forward to that, I saw them on the Meddle tour and it was another great live show. The way they reworked Echoes to not revolve (sorry) around Rick Wright's keyboards while not dismissing his importance to the track was extremely impressive.

Got tickets for Nick Mason's Set The Controls tour for my birthday. Definitely looking forward to that. The Saucerful of Secrets were the first gig I went to after the pandemic and it was great. The set list for this tour is tightly wrapped but Lee Harris has said that it's got some really deep cuts from the early Floyd. The only things we know for sure is that it doesn't have the rumoured outtakes from Dark Side of the Moon, and they won't be playing Scream Thy Last Scream or Careful With That Axe, Eugene as neither track really worked.

Good Soldier Svejk posted:Got to see them in 2022 in the US and it was really drat good. They played in an old converted theater and the oil projections and retro lighting were so cool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPTUIY-Gq-8 The weird thing is that Gary Kemp could easily have been Simon le Bon. The Saucerful had its genesis in part at a wedding reception in 2014 where Nick Mason and Guy Pratt, who had subbed with the Floyd on bass since Momentary Lapse, played a jam session with le Bon and Gary Kemp. When Lee Harris of the Blockheads suggested asking Nick Mason if he'd be interested in coming out of retirement to revisit early Floyd but only pre-Dark Side - as he put it, "you're never more than five yards from someone who can play Comfortably Numb" - Pratt was the first person he ran the idea past. It was Pratt who suggested Kemp, and also former Orb keyboardist Dom Beken with whom he had worked on the Orb side project Transit Kings. (Which, incidentally, is also how Metallic Spheres by The Orb and Dave Gilmour came about.) Jedit fucked around with this message at 11:02 on Mar 3, 2024 |
