New Solo Steven Wilson Blu In The Works !!!

[MikeZ.]

" My second solo album is nearing completion. It will be in the form of 2 separate 40 minute albums released in the same 2 CD set, and will also come as a blu-ray with surround mix, high definition stereo and a lot of visual material (Lasse is already working hard on films for many of the songs, attached is a still from one of these we shot a couple of weeks ago to a song called “Index”). We’re also planning a special Insurgentes style hard back book edition with a full length bonus CD of additional material. A year in the making, this is without doubt my biggest project to date, perhaps my most ambitious and personal music, and with some phenomenal musicians and performances on it (drummer Nic France in particular is going to blow a lot of people away). We hope a website will launch around April/May to start previewing material, with the album scheduled for September. More soon…."

I loved The Raven That Refused to Sing (but then I would, right? ), so this will be something to look forward to, although I have come across very few double-disc albums that didn't feel bloated.
As for King Crimson, is there any confirmation that there will be blu-ray audio releases of the classic KC albums. Unlike many other bands, I understand Fripp holds sole rights for them and it is rumored that he can be very moody about re-issues.

Wilson doesn't do remasters, he REMIXES.

This thread has been inactive for sometime. In that time, he released Hand Cannot Erase and will soon release . . . To the Bone coming on August 18, 2017. From Steven:

To The Bone is due to be released on 18th August but is available now to pre-order in a variety of formats, including a special deluxe hard back 120 page book edition, which includes an exclusive full length CD of demos and unused songs, and a one-sided 7 inch vinyl single of a bonus instrumental song from the album sessions. Neither of these will be available anywhere else.

My fifth record is in many ways inspired by the hugely ambitious progressive pop records that I loved in my youth (think Peter Gabriel’s So, Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love, Talk Talk’s Colour of Spring and Tears for Fears’ Seeds of Love). Lyrically, the album’s eleven tracks veer from the paranoid chaos of the current era in which truth can apparently be a flexible notion, observations of the everyday lives of refugees, terrorists and religious fundamentalists, and a welcome shot of some of the most joyous wide-eyed escapism I’ve created in my career so far. Something for all the family!

Pre-order here (https://stevenwilson.lnk.to/ToTheBoneSo).

Unfortunately for some, the Deluxe Hardbound Book Ed. is sold out as of the date of this post.
