A mid-price digipak edition of Steven Wilson's second studio album from 2011.

 

An experimental and eclectic double album that built on the artistic directions hinted at on 2009's debut Insurgentes.

 

"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'. 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." - Steven Wilson
