Steven Wilson - The Future Bites - Atmos

[Ninecats]

Heard the track. It has all the "I seem to have heard this all before" sorta vibe. SW seems to be recycling ideas from either his previous endeavours or from stuff he's heard before. Sadly nothing new. Being a completist, I will be picking the Bluray up with the hope that there will be something fresh in there somewhat.

Being a real Sound Chaser, I can say that about virtually every new album I hear, it’s very hard to do new things in music but I have to say that Steven, without hiding behind the fact that he’s influenced by many artists, never tend to stay at the same place. Not the ”Same Asylum as Before” if you ask me

Regardless of what you think about "Personal Shopper" (I found it rather catchy), you have to admit there's a hell of a lot to work with surround-wise on that track. I can't wait to hear all those harmonies spread around the room and Elton's voiceover through the center channel

Totes. I can picture how it will sound.

Did you guys listened to the latest No Man?

Ok, I just bought the stand-alone Blu-Ray, my wife already told me: "Again! You just got a fracking Steven Wilson box last month!" (The In Absentia one..)

You Americans are really funny... Backward dating? What is backward in having the logic format DD/MM/YYYY? Give me one rational reason to put it MM/DD/YYYY

Neither sorts correctly.

I spent decades as a programmer. Anything other than YYYYMMDD is pure Satanism!

I totally agree. YYYYMMDD would be the logical way, IMO.

Elton John is reciting a shopping list about half way through the song, so yes, voice not vocals! I wonder how Steven Wilson got him to do that!

That's funny EJ always said he could write a tune around a Shopping list. I remember him years ago doing just that on the 'Wogan' Chat show

Personal Shopper sounds more 80's that the last album with all its 80's Hype.
Its going to be interesting, Big package ordered.

Nice with some new music in the summer.Don't seem to be much else to do than ride my bike and listen to music this summer.Everything is closing down,no sports on the tel!y and all the pubs are closed. But as long as I get my music in the post and they don't close the beer and booze shop,I'll be fine.As things go,I'm glad I'm retired.

well i'm rather enjoying this new song and can't wait to hear it in surround!

although i forwarded the YT to an Elton fan friend and he said it was "the biggest lot of shit i've heard in years".. so, yeah.. might split the crowd somewhat this one! (i'm quite sure SW would be pleased about ruffling a few feathers with the track tbh!)

Hate to be like a broken record ... but similar to what I said about the upcoming Alan Parsons; for a new Steven Wilson in surround, with this intro:
The album marks his most inventive and far-reaching musical construction to date, spanning soaring acoustics, lush electronica, relentless bass-driven grooves, murky funk, and so much more, all linked through powerfully focused songcraft.
All for about what you’d pay for a burger, fries and a Coke-What the hell are we here for?

Given that many of us are stuck working from home a nice new release would have helped get us through the mess.

Steven just posted this video asking people to continue to support independent record stores. There's one bit of this video that I know @fredblue will like!

ohh... he is "just" so gorgeous i want to devour him and ingest even "just" a micron of his talent.

ps. Blue Moves is my EJ masterpiece, i wrote a mini essay on it which is possibly still floating around the web.

one of these is the best sounding version of Blue Moves i've ever heard...

edit: i "just" had to listen to it right now, in faux five point one, through the gift of the Surround Master... what an album..

That's quite a collection of Moves you have there.... But do you have the original 1976 sheet music book?

Thanks. Your post inspired me to do a quad Penteo upmix of Blue Moves, while I was at it I did Carabou and Westies to fill my EJ missing surround titles. These stereo mixes are all quite wide and are all worthwhile upmixes. My upmix philosophy: If it was released in the seventies it should be a Quad upmix.

yeay! i'm 99% perspiration with that magic 1% inspiration!
mercifully (since it feels highly unlikely we'll ever hear the remainder of Greg Penny's 5.1's) all those albums upmix really well.. that's a good philosophy!
