Damn, my last post was pretty dribbled. Just ignore it as Tom Waits said, the cat had been drinking.
mogeffingmog - You should see my Tool collection! lol I'm only half way through collecting all of Steven's and Porcupine Tree's stuff...But I'm not the only one, I know two other guys who have collected everything they ever put out including the super rare Love, Death, and Mouslini tape, the Tarquins Seaweed Farm tape, and the Nostalgia Factory tape, - things I doubt I'll ever have. But everything Steven releases is just so cool to me. It flows so well in vinyl quality. And Tool's but mostly vinyls and such. I recently added the white Unreleased Electronic Music vinyl to my collection. Only have one IEM vinyl and I try to buy everything sealed with sticker but that's hard. Collecting the Cover Version vinyls both large hole and small hole, need cover version II large hole yet sealed. I also have the box but need 4 other CDs and I really don't collect the CDs.
Which by the way, if you guys didn't notice, the guy who made the sketches for the Cover Version box set was Hajo Mueller who is responsible for pretty much all of the art in the Raven releases. The sketches inside the box set are very unique and much like the Raven. I'm glad Steven switched it up not using Lasse for once, but Lasse is awesome! Really wish I would've ordered one more Raven Deluxe from Burning Shed to keep sealed as an artifact and then 40 years later its like gold. That's what I'm doing with Insurgentes. Good stuff. And I read all the time on twitter and other places that Steven has been doing Fripp's style since Fear of the Black Planet and now it's gone to far with the Raven or something on twitter and other places I know I agree its bullshit. Steven has been working with Fripp since the early No-Man days. Also, if you read up ^ someone said something about steven wearing his influences on his sleeve and gave us a little fill-in-the-blank that suggested that.
SPEAKING OF WHICH, I'm glad this thread is becoming more fan-oriented. At first it was kind of like "post here what you don't like about Steven Wilson and Porcupine Tree and why this or that album sucked and if or why you're not a fan, etc."-ish kinda. I thought I remember more people responding before the forum change but it looks like we're starting to build a little.
Kitaan - I'll try messaging you if not could I post links for direct downloads on this thread? Then others on this thread could download them too. Wouldn't take up much space on here at all. mp3/320 Not sure why Steven doesn't like live bootlegs. But I have other things not just bootlegs that I think fans deserve. Do you have Steven's first bands albums Karma and Altamont? Very rare stuff. I have a 12 minute version of Nine Cats from 1983, Steven was 15 I think.
eyepod - I definitely recommend you check out Insurgentes and Grace For Drowning as well. Let us know what you think!
First show of the tour tomorrow! Eager to see the setlist but we don't post spoilers correct?
