Steven Wilson – The Holy Drinker

Biography
Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, England
He is perhaps best known as the lead guitarist/singer and songwriter for progressive rock band Porcupine Tree, but his projects are numerous, including collaborations with Israeli superstar Aviv Geffen, Blackfield, long-running partnership with Tim Bowness, No-Man, and teaming up with Dirk Serries … , Continuum, as well as his own solo projects Bass Communion and Incredible Expanding Mindfuck, and the albums Insurgentes and Grace for Drowning under his own name. He also recorded a collaborative album with Opeth’s singer, guitarist and composer Mikael Åkerfeldt, called Storm Corrosion.
In addition to his prolific musical output, he has also undertaken production work with such high-profile artists as Opeth, Dream Theater, Jim Matheos of Fates Warning, Anathema, Orphaned Land, Marillion, FISH, Yoko Ono, and friend Robert Fripp. He is also part way through remixing the back catalogue of King Crimson into surround sound and new stereo mixes.
Wilson, also known for the high production quality of his music, employs synthesizers and programmed music along with live instruments to create a unique atmosphere for each song he works on, including otherwise-simple pop tunes.

It's a shame that Wilson pretty much lost it. He used to make the best music in the genre.

"So in essence it will sound like Strip the Soul for 70 minutes" I like how this sounds.

So Steven observed Mikael and the guys make Heritage. He stole the idea, and did what Opeth tried to do with Heritage, but the right way, in the new album. And man he succeeded. It must've been a total fuck-you to Mikael when he first heard it. [3] lol agreed, funny and true comment :))

I actually prefer the title track from Raven rather than The Watchmaker.

I love the shorter, calmer songs on "The Raven..." the most. I think Steven's greatest strength is to write beautiful melodies, I'm personally not that fond of his "Luminol"-like experiments.

At the show in Boulder he said his next album will be based loosely on the BTK Killer. So in essence it will sound like Strip the Soul for 70 minutes

Never in my wildest dreams could have I thought I'd get to hear Guthrie Govan, Steven Wilson and Marco Minnemann on same album. Amazing. Can't wait to see 'em on tour.
