Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused To Sing

Wreckage

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.

The Final Thing On My Mind

Oh this broken dawn light
When my shooting feels right
There's just one final thing on my mind

Oh the mist of this dawn
The mist of a different dawn
The final thing on my mind?

Every waking dawn it's you I see
Coming back to me
Everything you did is a part of me
Ripped apart from me


How did we get to be this cold?
How did I let you get so far from me?
We got it so wrong, so wrong
How did we let it get this cold?

Every waking dawn it's you I see
Coming back to me
Everything you did was a part to me
Ripped apart from me

How did we get to be this cold?
How did I let you get so far from me?
We got it so wrong, so wrong
How did we let it get this cold?

How did we get to be this cold?
How did I let you get so far from me?
We got it so wrong, so wrong
How did we let it get this cold?

Your Wilderness

The Pineapple Thief - The Final Thing On My Mind

"No Way" - David Gilmour (Live)

I found this on an old computer - it's a demo for either the In Absentia or Deadwing albums, something that never got used - I can't be totally sure because while it shares lyrical themes with the songs on In Absentia, one of the melodies seems to relate to another piece from Deadwing era.  I don't remember too much about it, other than I guess it wasn't good enough to get any further than this.  Rescued from the abyss, so I only have a compressed audio file of this one, sorry about that.

Godfearing (demo 2001-03?)

Psychedelic kraut/post-rock from Rennes. One bass, one drum.. with a lot of delays, reverbs and other loops, the duet frees itself from any genre restrictions to weave sometimes dark atmospheres, often spacey, always psychedelic.

03 - Über En Colère

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


The 78

An extended 6 minute version that was previously released as part of the "Blackfield" digital download single, but I think only in mp3 form (as usual this is full resolution WAV). Blackfield's third album is due for release in March, and there is now a facebook page dedicated to the band at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Blackfield/103704446366593
