Steven Wilson - The Future Bites (6/12/20) - Blu-ray Forum

My pre-order is in. The price bites along with the future. At least for the deluxe edition.

It looks like Steven was impressed with the Abbey Road remix since he has added an Atmos mix on this new album.

I can see a large backlash against this new musical direction. I'm in since I like how he tends to change things up every now and then. I haven't been disappointed yet.

That. Was. Fantastic!

I'm at least getting the CD/Blu combo, may go ahead & order the deluxe set as that's the only way to get the other 2 CDs.

I'm hoping the exclusive demos on the cassette in the deluxe box come with a download code. My cassette players have been gone for years.

Looks like this has been pushed back to January 2021. That's a long delay! Here is what they provided in an email to those that pre-ordered:

Steven Wilson’s forthcoming sixth album has been postponed due to issues arising from the current Coronavirus situation. Originally due for release on 12th June 2020, The Future Bites will now be released on 29th January 2021.

“As with many of my albums, The Future Bites is not just about the music, it's a high concept project which involves design, artwork, video and a tour production, all on a grander scale than anything I've attempted before. However, due to the pandemic, there are unprecedented challenges, ranging from manufacturing issues (particularly in relation to the elaborate deluxe edition) and the uncertainty facing record stores as the coronavirus forces them to close their doors, to being unable to shoot most of the video material I planned. It's therefore with a very heavy heart that I reluctantly need to postpone the release of The Future Bites until such time everything can happen as intended. This will now be January next year, with new music and video starting to be issued again around October. In the meantime the pre-order page for the various editions of the album will remain online. Myself, management, agent and promoters are monitoring the situation regarding the live shows scheduled for this autumn. Should events change we will let everyone know as soon as we do.

“I understand that this may be disappointing news, and to no one more that myself, believe me. I worked on the music and background of this project for the last two years and was thrilled to finally be able to launch it. The response to the Personal Shopper track released last month has been phe-nomenal, and I was looking forward to unveiling more over the next few months in the build up to the release of the album. But alas due to the current circumstances it was not to be.

“I sincerely send everyone reading this a message of good health, and I hope that one day in the not too distant future we can once again focus on things like music, which even if it isn't strictly essential seems to somehow makes life more worthwhile. SW x”
