This thread is pretty funny. So many people just noticing what Robert's been up to with Toyah for like the last 3+ years.
Oh noes! How will I continue to give him shit for being too serious when...
Just some growling.

A few tracks from the forthcoming tu:NER album have been posted.

Barbieri:
"It would be silly to say that we are never gonna make another album, because you don't know. We don't know what's gonna happen in two years' time, three years' time. We do have a live...
We were having a fucking disagreement about how people have reacted to Navarro's departure. It lasted all of a half dozen posts. I have already apologized for wasting bandwidth. Fuck off with this...
This would be funnier if it didn't come like nine hours after I agreed that it was unnecessary nonsense and apologized.
I agree, and I apologize for hijacking the thread just to discuss the fact that there shouldn't be a discussion. My bad.
And Gavin and Richard would just go along with whatever he declared because? You know they're grown men who can make decisions for themselves, yes?
The funniest part of this is Wilson has very...
I haven't mocked your opinion. I've disagreed with it.
But now I might mock you a little: do you seriously think I'm suggesting that Colin's pride was involved in his not being involved in...
I've been curious about this since the uproar when C/C was first announced. The three of them recorded the album together over the course of years without Colin, but of course Gavin and Richard were...
Literally nothing, TBH. Steven Wilson and Colin Edwin are complete strangers to you. Their lives are none of your business. Of course you're allowed to have an opinion. Just as I'm allowed to have an...
To start, and sorry for my tone but, sorry, being a long time fan doesn't entitle you to an opinion about how complete strangers should go about their personal business. I love that you think being a...
I totally get what you mean about drawing a line, and replacing an entire band member is certainly a line to consider, but this reminded me of the first time I saw PTree in the late 90s when we were...
Funny how people who think Steven should "swallow his pride" and recruit Colin don't seem to think Colin has pride himself, innit?
Exactly the stuff that people are saying on social media that likely contributed to McStine's post above. Thanks for playing along and helping demonstrate what he was talking about.

Soft Machine and VDGG were both bands that I dug into just in recent years. I think at this point the entire Soft Machine catalog is in my iTunes library, but I'm still working my way thru VDGG....
Thanks, as always!
Just some big dense droning.

Heh. The revival of this thread has reminded me that I used to have an Ocean Machine pedal. Completely forgot I had that for a while.
Listening to Singularity right now, and as always with my...
Hey. It's been a while.
Started playing a Touch Guitar U8 - the Markus Reuter invention - back in January. I'm not in any way a nimble tapper, but as an expanded range guitar, it's just...
Does Ninet Tayeb's one night stint as the lead singer of Steven Wilson's band count as being a prog singer?
This was such a lovely stream last Friday night, I decided to post a pretty long chunk of it on YouTube:
https://youtu.be/Ol6kR_7MkgY
And I liked it so much I cleaned it up and posted an 'album...
Thanks. That was one of the first times I streamed with the overhead camera, and I needed to fill the rest of the space with something, and had that footage from the beach kicking around. It did the...
Filling up the empty space in my Twitch stream with old home movies from the Prelinger Archive.
A short clip from a long stream. Really happy with how this came out.
...
This was fun. Aside from being a quiet, serene soundscape, I had seagull sounds playing underneath, and it occurred to me near the end (3:30ish) to grab and loop some squawking and it just sounds...
Thanks!
Can I use "Ooh I think I recognize that sort of sound..." in my marketing? Maybe a sticker on my next album cover?
Funny you should ask. Just posted this today. This is pulled from a longer Twitch ambient live stream, which is what I'm directing most of my energy towards these days. I'm a bit unfocused right now,...
Gizmo! Thank you so much. I'm sorry I haven't checked around here in ages and missed these kind words when you left them. Much appreciated!
So yeah, it was hands down the best PT show I've seen, last night at Radio City. If anyone is curious, there's currently an audio only boot of the whole show on YouTube and tons of clips of...
Thanks, Richard!
There was that brief period before drama when they were a trio...

Kindle has been available for a while. Hardcover keeps getting pushed back.
What is the deal with this book's US release? I didn't order it early this year because I was a little short on cash and didn't see the point in preordering a book that wasn't shipping until July...
This was an improvised stream working the kinks out of a small mobile board (to use at the beach, in the video above) that sounded so nice I cleaned it up and released it as an album.
...
Some live ambiance on the beach.

Belew and Rundgren are playing.

Thanks for that. Fripp is a huge influence of course.
This live stream a few days ago was kind of a revelation. This is basically what I've been hoping to be able to do for a loooong time. Nice to see these sounds from my head finally realized.
...
That said, he does fully cop to approaching the bass parts on this album as a guitarist.
The bedrock of the whole record really became the way I “play bass,” but allied with the fact that I was...
1. Keep 3 tracks off reasonable priced cd.
3. Only way to get all 10 tracks on physical media is to get deluxe version.
No arguments to be had with your opinions, but don't think no one noticed...
This I'll address though. You're projecting the "preachy statement about marketing and consumerism" onto Wilson and then taking him to task for it. The album was about marketing and consumerism, and...
This absolute refusal of some to engage with the actual discussion re: toxic behavior on message boards and always trying to turn it into "you just don't want to hear negative comments about your...
I tried, man. Ultimately I decided it's not worth it and just scaled back my interaction here. Toxic people gotta tox.
Interesting. I had heard that rumor years ago regarding Aqua - that samples of Palmer were used so he could be credited as the drummer (giving the new lineup credibility along with Howe noodling over...
More likely he just concerns himself with followers of his music with thicker skin. There'll always, always be fans looking for ways to interpret an artists words in a way that allows them to be...
This is from the set they played and shot specifically for the doc. They've hinted that this set will get a release (video and/or audio) at some point as well.
Even more noteworthy (to me), from that document, recounting the VIP Q&A at the Beacon:
"Jakko gestures that he’d like to say something, and he mentions that Gavin had an idea to take advantage of...
Yes. Granted, the album, Give It Back, is my first foray into Pineapple Thief, so I have no point of reference to the original versions of the tunes, but I like it a lot and plan on investigating the...
Thanks, Richard!
Thanks, for listening, for your time, and for your comments.
This was a great experiment, the past few weeks playing on a minimal board, preparing to use that board on a beach. :)
I've got a...
Dunno about the pickups, but the angle on the frets (fanned frets) are for better intonation, giving each string a fret scale that best suits it, as the lower you go, the longer the scale the string...
Thanks, Steve.
From a few interviews, it sounds like a good amount of the album was written on bass, as that was all Gavin had laying around when Wilson stopped by his space to jam.
Ugh. Preordered it from Amazon, and it still hadn't shipped this morning with no date pending and no DL option, so I canceled the order and bought it from iTunes. About to load it on my iPod and go...
I've been quietly live streaming while working out a small mobile ambient rig that'll I'll be using outside this weekend. If Twitching is something you do, please do follow me as once I get thru this...
What can I say? We woke snowflakes can either melt in springtime or bloom into delicate flowers.
Honestly, I addressed this in my initial post because I knew this is the direction the conversation would go. "If you can't handle a critical opinion towards Yes or any other group discussed here,...
Nevermind. I'll just add you to my ignore list. This is actually getting to be a fun game now.
Also while scrolling his Facebook page to be correct about what I paraphrased above, I came across another post relevant to this discussion. Asked directly if the 12/8 show last year was in fact a...
I dunno about that. The Crimson ProjeKCt and The 21st Century Schizoid Band both had his support. He brought both of those projects up in a Facebook post recently in response to the suggestion that...
