Thanks for being there. Billy Reeves talks with Bruce Soord (The Pineapple Thief) and Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree, King Crimson, The Pineapple Thief) about the definition of collaboration in music, its pitfalls and advantages. Along the way we discuss the fall of Anathema, Steven Wilson’s teeth-brushing proclivities and a magic guitar… …and we get to hear many of Kscope’s collaborative tunes, serving as a history of the label and its family of musicians, including iamthemorning with Gav and Mariusz, Bruce with Jonas of Katatonia, Engineers and North Atlantic Oscillation.

A long overdue long-form catch-up with Jon Gomm and some sustenance for your stylus - a Kscope vinyl re-stock.

Jon talks at length about Transylvania, the Gommunity, getting back in the saddle after the worst days of the Pando, traveling with his guitar in the next seat, and the amazing Swan Song charity – plus an exclusive on his next project plans…

Plus, an update on the latest vinyl from Kscope, including Gomm, TesseracT, Lunatic Soul, Tangerine Dream, Mariusz Duda solo, and details of the next Kscope Podcast which is number 150! I know, right?
