Steven Wilson
The Overview (Various Formats pre-order)
Steven Wilson’s eighth studio album, The Overview, sees him return to the genre that made him famous, Progressive Rock (although his 21st century version incorporates everything from glistening electronics to monumental post rock).
Containing two wildly ambitious twenty minute tracks, there are nods to the expansive, sky-bound sound of classic Porcupine Tree, the intricate storytelling of The Raven That Refused To Sing and the forward thinking electronics of his most recent solo releases.
The album’s tracks, Objects Outlive Us (including a movement with lyrics by Andy Partridge) and The Overview, are made up of distinctive musical sections that flow from one to the other to play as their own continuous pieces.
Available in a variety of formats, including CD, Blu-Ray and black vinyl.
We also have a half-speed mastered limited red vinyl edition and a limited deluxe 2CD-A/Blu-Ray earbook (with 96-page book) exclusive to Steven Wilson’s official stores.
Pre-order for March 14 release. All pre-orders will include, at random, one of four exclusive postcards.

David Starkey
Talking Heads On Track (Book pre-order)
Few artists can legitimately claim to be groundbreaking, but Talking Heads are one of them. In his song-by-song discussion of their work, American musician and journalist David Starkey looks at how David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison and Tina Weymouth emerged from New York’s mid-1970s punk scene and quickly distinguished themselves as innovative musicians.
Drawing frequently on first-person accounts from members of the band, Starkey brings to life the composition and recording of each song, pointing out hidden patterns in Byrne’s lyrics and ensuring that each member of Talking Heads receives credit for their contribution to this unparalleled body of work.

Prog
Prog Issue 156 (Magazine)

Elsewhere Marillion tell the story of 1997’s This Strange Engine, Clannad discuss Legend, David Surkamp of cult US prog rockers Pavlov's Dog looks back over a fascinating career, and there's a tribute to the late Peter Sinfield.

Don Klees
David Bowie 1983-2016 On Track (Book pre-order)
In a career full of twists and turns, none was as sharp as the one David Bowie experienced after his 1983 album Let's Dance. The record gave Bowie the hit that he wanted while completely altered his artistic standing. The singer found himself a global superstar with a mass audience whose tastes he didn't understand.
After immersing himself in the band project Tin Machine, Bowie spent the 1990s embracing reinvention and experimentation with fascinating results, leading to a full-fledged renaissance in the 21st century.
This book considers all Bowie’s later releases on their own merits, away from the shadow of his 1970s landmarks.
