Steven Wilson Steven Wilson - The Harmony Codex (2023)

[Plan9]

“Rap” is a bit of an overstatement, it’s more of a spoken word thing.

I figured as much

While we “impatiently” wait for the new release; I’ll bump this interview, and pay attention to around 36:30-on about his thinking on his music and Atmos/Spatial.

and just in case you missed it

Curious that distribution of the standalone blu-ray for this title seems so limited. US retailers only seem to have nothing or just the CD or Vinyl. I don't recall SW's previous releases rolling out this way.

They speak highly of the new single tightrope, 11 mins long to be released at midnight

Impossible Tightrope, Economies of Scale
To my ears that sounds much better then anything on Future Bites,
Yea

NOW we're getting somewhere! Really like the video, also.

Based on all the info so far: Steven Wilson's comments, reviewer reactions, the two released tracks, it really does seem like THC will be extremely diverse, touching on many different genres. I find Impossible Tightrope to be very compelling and even at nearly 11 minutes doesn't wear out its welcome. The video is gorgeous as well - sadly it does not appear to be included on the blu-ray. Now I'm looking forward to the release!!

If it's not included on the BD then what is this then.
Just a teaser of something we can't have except for YT download ????

The two videos listed on the product page are the "Economies of Scale" and "The Harmony Codex" videos.

According to the Burningshed tracklisting only the following are on the blu-ray:
31. Economies of Scale [Official Music Video]
32. The Harmony Codex [Official Music Video]

SW has held back compelling video on his recent releases, so this is disappointing but not unexpected.

Thanks, now I understand, I was confused. I'm not really interested in the videos anyway, only the music.
I checked at Burning Shed and the sound of the 2 tracks discussed are on the stand-alone BD in 2ch, 5.1, and Atmos versions. Eager to hear the full release.

My guess is that some promo videos are finished early enough to include with physical products, like a BD, and some are produced later.

SW's new album.
Apple 4K California, only available is the song Economies Of Scale in Dolby Atmos.
No other songs available at all, stereo or Atmos.

For some reason the single is out in an “EP” with the other single as the only other track. Both tracks on the “EP” are in Atmos

Awesome, thanks, got it.

Well now that’s more like it…

I’m waiting for the blu-ray to arrive for the rest of the album. In my opinion, too much of Closure/Continuation was released in advance. It didn’t leave much to discover. From Sreven’s description this album needs to be experienced as a whole. Economies is a nice taste until then.
