New 2 disc set from Steven Wilson featuring unreleased tracks, videos, live recordings and high-resolution audio -- available on Blu-ray & CD and CD & DVD
Available from October 21st (22nd in US/CA)

In February 2013 Steven Wilson released 'The Raven That Refused To Sing (And Other Stories)', his third solo album. The album was a huge critical and commercial success, earning numerous 5 star reviews and charting well across the world, debuting at #3 in the German national chart, #28 in the UK top 40, #57 in the US Billboard top 200, #16 in Holland and #17 in Finland.

Prior to these dates, Drive Home, a new audio-visual package will be released as a Blu-ray & CD set and as a CD & DVD set.

The Blu-ray and DVD feature the new video for lead track 'Drive Home' along with the video for 'The Raven That Refused To Sing', both directed by Jess Cope. They also include four tracks recorded live in Frankfurt during the recent tour.

In addition, the Blu-ray and DVD feature audio recordings of two previously unreleased tracks, 'The Birthday Party' and an orchestral version of 'The Raven That Refused To Sing'. 'The Birthday Party' was recorded in LA at the same sessions as the tracks that made up the album while the version of 'The Raven That Refused To Sing' is a new mix that strips the track back to just the orchestra and vocals.

All the songs on the Blu-Ray and DVD are mixed in both stereo and 5.1 sound, including the two audio only titles. The audio on the Blu-Ray is full lossless 96/24 throughout. These tracks are also included on the CD, along with the audio from the live tracks and an edit of 'Drive Home'.

Steven Wilson's The Raven that Refused to Sing (and Other Stories) named 'ALBUM OF THE YEAR' at Progressive Music Awards

The awards, organised by Prog magazine, were presented at a ceremony in London's Kew Gardens. Other winners on the night included Marillion (much of who's catalogue is available on Madfish, Kscope's sister label) who were named 'Band of the Year' and Family who won the inaugural 'Storm Thorgerson Grand Design Award' for the 14 CD career spanning boxset.

Steven Wilson - The Birthday Party (from Drive Home)

HEADSTRONG

It’s the same old story told a hundred times
What you can’t salvage you’ll learn to live without
But our head’s a Tough one, it has been a hundred times
Braving mountains and fire it will be a waste of time

Everything was brighter, when far away from here
Our soul is dying faster and our body decompose

Leave the heartless town that wore a thousand crowns
What you can’t handle you’ll learn to sleep without
But our heart is a Tough one, it has been a thousand times
Braving mountains and fire won’t be a waste of time.


Everything was brighter when far away from here
Our soul is dying faster and our body decompose
Every breath I’m taking keeps me far away from here
I’m leaving LA for real and ain’t ever coming back

Those golden tears, they’re gonna have to wait	
Those ancient fears, they’re gonna have to wait


Headstrong

"Mind-blowing, magical and extraordinary...this is a modern prog classic!"
DOM LAWSON (The Guardian / Metal Hammer)

"Artful, elegant and stylistically complex"
Matthias Weckmann, METAL HAMMER Germany

"Powerful, mysterious... Gazpacho excel themselves on Demon"
VISIONS, Germany

"It could be Gazpacho's defining work...it certainly cements their place as one of the world's greatest cult prog bands."
www.realgonerocks.com


Demon is inspired by a conversation Thomas had with his father a few years ago where he spoke of a dark force moving through history. During the conversation his father recalled a business visit to Prague in the seventies where he visited the family of some of his hosts.

The family lived in an old apartment, recently renovated after a fire. In the debris, an old manuscript was found. The manuscript was written by a previous resident, for which no records existed other than that his rent had been pre-paid for many years.

The manuscript contained various ramblings and diagrams which formed the basis of a diary, of sorts, of the man. He claimed to have discovered the source of what he called an evil presence in the world. This presence, 'The Demon', was an actual intelligent will, with no mercy and a desire for bad things to happen. The author wrote as if he had lived for thousands of years stalking this presence and the manuscript contains references to outdated branches of mathematics, pagan religions unknown to the present world and an eyewitness account of the bubonic plague. So crazed were the writings that the document was donated to the Strahov Library in Prague, where it was thought it would be of interest to students of psychiatry.

The thought of this mysterious figure that had lived through the ages, hunting the 'Demon', seemed like too good an idea not to write about. Thomas presented the idea to the band who were just as inspired by the story, and with Jan Henrik, he started writing the lyrics based on what they thought the manuscript would reveal, drawing inspiration from previously 'discovered' diaries and manifests.

The story is told in four parts, ending with 'Death Room' which are the last words of the unfinished manuscript written just before the disappearance of the unknown writer.

Written over two years, the band have described Demon as the 'most complicated and strange album Gazpacho has ever made' and whether the manuscript is truly the work of an obsessed madman or an urban legend it has certainly provided the basis for an interesting twist on a concept album.

The special edition media book includes bonus track 'The Cage', mixed by David Bottrill (Placebo / MUSE)

SKYLARKING - 2016

XTC - Let's Make a Den (2016 mix)

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.

Lyrics:

My love, 
Spinning 'round in colors,
That flow from your mind to your hands,

My heart,
In-between the flutters,
Got lost and immersed in your grace,

And throughout these years,
You've lifted my head up to face my fears,
Driving myself on to persevere,

Hey you,
Chasing water towers,
Releasing the tears of your love,

Your voice,
Could sprout fields of flowers,
And bring back the world's loss of lust,

And when the rain doth fall,
The thunder cracks the sky as it calls,
When I'm with you, it bothers me not at all,  

I can't stop thinking about you, 
I can't stop thinking about,
The way you love, no matter near or far,

I can't stop thinking about you,
I can't stop thinking about,
The comfort of your embrace, 'cause you're my,

Earth Eyes,
Gleaming lights of hope,
Hold my hand so I don't go afloat,
This disguise,
I can't hide from the depths of your soul,

Look where we've been after all these years,
Despite what they have said, 
It started all with a kiss on a tailgate,
How nervous was I, then?
Smells of vanilla fields in your hair,
As we seek new roads towards the sun,
I can't wait for more to come,
In the ether is where our hearts have joined as one,

I can't stop thinking about you, 
I can't stop thinking about,
The curls of your hair brushed against my skin,

I can't stop thinking about you,
I can't stop thinking about,
Our late night talks of stars, seen through your,

Earth Eyes,
Gleaming lights of hope,
Hold my hand so I don't go afloat,
Earth Eyes,
Goodness never shies,
From a passionate being such as you,

Earth Eyes,
Words cannot describe the depths of my love,

Earth Eyes

The Same Asylum As Before

Song Of I (feat. Sophie Hunger)

Permanating

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?)

My first song in over two years, I did a cover of King Crimson's "Red"; a really good song I have been wanting to cover and put a heavier touch on it.  While I am still working on FD music, this was a side project I wanted to take on, and am happy with the result.  Enjoy.
