I was not a fan of his latest "The Future Bites". It was a big letdown after "Hand. Cannot. Erase." and "To the bone". Porcupine Tree is great. I also like The Pineapple Thief (Gavin Harrison is now a member).
Yes! I have 3 or 4 Pineapple Thief CDs myself. I should listen to them again! It’s been awhile.
If you’re not familiar with them, you have to check out Opeth. They’re a Swedish progressive rock band. Definitely on the darker side - especially their older stuff, which is more death metal. But their last 5 albums or so have been my style. Very melodic and talented artists, who seem to put on quite a show live! Damnation is probably my favorite album. Then most likely Sorceress. Steven Wilson has said he thinks they’re the best band of all time, or something like that. The band Storm Corrosion is a collaboration between the lead singer/guitarist/songwriter of Opeth Mikael Åkerfeldt. I believe Jack the Cat just made a post on that album
Wilsons’ also produced a few Opeth albums as well if I remember, or mastered them… something along those lines
