2CD EDITION OF 1ST ALBUM ON KSCOPE – REMASTERED, REMIXED, AND FEATURING BONUS DISC

The last few years have seen The Pineapple Thief truly emerge onto a higher stage... bigger and better tours, triumphant festival slots, recording at Peter Gabriel’s Real World studios, artwork designed by Storm Thorgerson and new management all give the sense of an act destined for greater things. In 2012, the band took the next step on this journey with the release of All The Wars, their new studio album.

In association with the Kscope 5th anniversary celebrations, this edition of 2008's 'Tightly Unwound' – the first ever album release on Kscope – has been newly re-mastered and remixed by 360 in London. It will also now feature a bonus disc with tracks from the Dawn Raids EPs plus and an acoustic version of 'Shoot First'.

And it happens over and over again
The water tears away at the bend
"Now wouldn't it be fun?"
Said a man
With a truncated thought of a plan
Not a care in the world 
But lets just say there is

Something I left out

That I forgot to mention there's another dimension 
I forgot to mention there's another dimension

And now it's another point of view
The current's reversed and the erosion too
Now what to make of this
I don't know
But it seems like a perpetual flow
Borrowed time returns itself and starts again

You thought you told me

But you forgot to mention there's another dimension
You forgot to mention there's another dimension

I forgot to mention there's another dimension
You forgot to mention there's another dimension

The Sifter

An extended version I put together for the simple reason that I thought that the original version, as beautiful as it is, was too short!!

Steven Wilson - Home in Negative (Extended Version)

Grace For Drowning’ is the second album released under Wilson’s own name, and builds on the artistic inroads he forged with 2009’s exceptionally well-received ‘Insurgentes.’

A double album ('two 40-45 minute albums in the same package') Wilson has described it as "my biggest project to date".

He continues, “’Insurgentes’ was an important step for me into something new. This record takes that as a starting point, but it’s more experimental and more eclectic. For me the golden period for music was the late sixties and early seventies, when the album became the primary means of artistic expression, when musicians liberated themselves from the 3 minute pop song format, and started to draw on jazz and classical music especially, combining it with the spirit of psychedelia to create “journeys in sound” I guess you could call them. So without being retro, my album is a kind of homage to that spirit. There’s everything from [Ennio] Morricone-esque film themes to choral music to piano ballads to a 23 minute progressive jazz–inspired piece. I’ve actually used a few jazz musicians this time, which is something I picked up from my work remixing the King Crimson records.”

DEFORM TO FORM A STAR (live in London)

INDEX (live in London)

SECTARIAN (live in London)

Written in 2001 for a planned metal style collaboration with Mikael Åkerfeldt, this song has been revisited several times since, but I could never really make it fit the style of whatever I was doing at the time.  In the meantime the album with Mike finally happened, but in a completely different style to the album we planned 10 years ago (it's coming out in April).  So finally here is the orphan song Cut Ribbon - this is the latest version from the 2010/2011 Grace For Drowning sessions.  Gavin Harrison on drums (recorded in 2008), all other instruments SW.  

Cut Ribbon

Brian Eno with Kevin Shields - Only Once Away My Son

Filled With Colour

These 5 songs were originally included as part of a special 3 disc hardback book edition of Insurgentes released on my own label Headphone Dust a few months prior to KScope issuing the standard version. I had around 25 songs in total from the recording sessions, several of which were dropped because they didn't measure up (some of the other leftover pieces are now released on the Insurgentes film DVD), but I felt these 5 songs were as good as the album material, so it wasn't for lack of quality that I left them off, more to do with context and not wanting the album to be too long as a listening experience.  Instead they were included on a separate CD only available with the special edition (and later on vinyl releases).  The whole idea of the special edition was to experiment with doing something really special with the packaging that took advantage of the multi-media aspect of the project (film, photos, music), and to sell only online.  They were very expensive to make and could only be printed as a one-off edition, so I had to guess at how many to make - even then I became so convinced that I wasn't going to be able to sell them that I priced is such that I basically lost money with every copy sold.  Later on I found myself wondering if the small minority that still complained that they had been "ripped off" in only getting a CD, a CD EP, a DVD, and a ten by ten 128 page clothbound full colour book for their £34 were the same people that later sold their copy on eBay for 10 times what they paid for it.  Anyway, I digress....  Here for those that missed out on the special edition, are the bonus Insurgentes songs in full resolution WAVs, enjoy! Best, S
