Steven Wilson - The Future Bites - Atmos

[J. PUPSTER]

Does anyone else think that the chorus melody (first heard at 1:50) sounds a lot like Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music"?

Maybe, but it's still cracking me up he's releasing this on a Cassette Tape

Make that down-mixed to Q8 and you've got a deal -

Cassettes? WTF?!?! This from a guy who used to smash iPods? I really don't get the resurgence of a very shitty format

Yeah defo! Was expecting to hear some cowbell?! Maybe that'll come in on the surround version?! [cowbell = good]

I'm liking this new stuff from SW! Looking forward to it...

It's the British equivalent of (definitely)agreement

Outstanding Music, Great SciFi. Just enjoy it as the fiction writing it is.
Can't wait for the release, shake a leg please Steven.

Heck, good thing this release got delayed a bit because I just got Hand. Cannot. Erase. That album will be difficult to top.

As my mother would claim "If you've nothing nice to say, then say nothing". Something I should remember.

Yes, especially if one watched any part of the Giants or Jets games yesterday.

As a 49er fan I can say nice things.

Would you rather loose in the style of both NY teams or the Falcons with historical second half collapse?
(sorry for non-music related commentary)

The Bills are the only true NY team, and they have an epic start to the season.

Everything about this release is making me more and more confused (and less prone to buying). Now Steven is promoting on Twitter and Facebook the release of his next video and single in TikTok nonetheless.
I wonder which public this release is aimed to.

I think everything about this release is collectively a bit of "performance art", TikTok included. I imagine the concept will become clearer once the album is heard, tour is experienced, and merch is seen.

That said, COVID has kind of messed with this overall performance.

WTF is TikTok ?

Just by judging from the teaser (and the singles so far) I can tell that I'll dislike this album, TFB will definitely take different direction than the previous albums, unfortunately one that won't please the fans.

WTF is TikTok ?

It's the latest social media fad/app.

And it is having an impact on music. Fleetwood Mac's Rumours has jumped to #7 on the Billboard charts this week because some random guy posted a 20 second clip of himself singing one line of the song "Dreams" while riding his skateboard. This is the first time in the history of the Billboard album charts that a 40+ year old album has re-entered the top 10 without some sort of reissue to promote it.

All the Times 40-Plus-Year-Old Albums Made the Top 10 On the Billboard 200

So what makes that any different than any other short video?
Never mind, I really don't want to know. LOL
