Episode Twenty – Steven Wilson talks Grace For Drowning

Good morning, afternoon and evening.

Welcome to Kscope, the Post-Progressive Podcast.

Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) has recorded what he feels is his “..Biggest project to date”; the sumptuous double album Grace For Drowning, a journey through many musical influences and styles - filtered through the Wilson audio-scope.

The album is out now. Here, in an exclusive interview with Billy Reeves, Steven describes the joy and creative spark he felt when working on the King Crimson re-issues, how the project began and ended, who one can bounce off if one is making a solo record, and answers two age-old musical conundrums: (i) what is the difference between an autoharp and a hammered dulcimer..? & (ii) were the 60s/70s prog rockers simply jazz musicians who wanted to get laid…?!?

Episode Seventeen - The Bruce Soord interview in Poland

HELLO Kscope, The Post Progressive Podcast returns.

The Pineapple Thief  have had a great couple of years: the most recent Kscope LP Someone Here Is Missing (and plenty of key shows) have placed their bittersweet prog-metal and awesome choruses into many more folks’ auditiory cortexes. It’s been a decade of good work from the Yeovil boys; time therefore we thought to revisit the classic 10 Stories Down album, which is now out, remastered (and presented as a double CD with the 8 Days Later album as it was back in ’05).

 

 

Bruce Soord from The Pineapple Thief therefore is our special guest, some musings from the tour bus on the long drive west back from playing with Blackfield and Riverside in Europe. It’s festival season as I write, so as Bruce grew up only a few miles from the site of the UK’s biggest festival, Glastonbury, we get a few memories of how ‘Glasto’ has changed.

 

 

PLUS there’s some exciting news of new Steven Wilson and Anathema releases contained herein…

Giancarlo from Nosound - A Northern Religion of Things

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening; wherever you may be. Billy Reeves here; ergo, time for the latest instalment of Kscope, The Post Progressive Podcast. A very pretty Podcast for you. Kick back…

Gian Carlo Erra from Nosound is our very special guest. The new release is entitled A Northern Religion of Things – an album recorded during the rehearsal process for the special solo gig Giancarlo performed last year. Giancarlo tells us how and why. BEAUTIFUL.

 

Engineers release a new 7-track EP on Kscope on June 13^th, lead by To An Evergreen one of the highlights from their greatly acclaimed In Praise of More LP which came out late last year. So here’s Portland studio boffins Helios with their folktronic take on What It’s Worth. HAUNTING.

 

And as our chums Pineapple Thief have been touring with Riverside: an excuse to revisit some of Mariusz Duda from Riverside’s solo work, a cracker from Lunatic Soul (from Lunatic Soul II). There’s going to be some new LS material soon, we’re told. MIGHTY.
