Steven Wilson has been inspired in his new album from the documentary "Dreams Of A Life", in which the filmmaker Carol Morley tried to go the lonely death of a young woman on the ground. The Jazz and Fusion shares are returned. The still complex and fantastically creative structures are now enriched with pop and ambient elements. Compared to its predecessor, it looks more balanced and more diversified. Although it might be in the whole music may not be as demanding as "The Raven That Refused To Sing", Steven Wilson proves once more than a grandiose tone generator. The issue of anonymity in the big city merges with the music to an organic synthesis of the arts. Contributing to the same fellow who had been listening to the predecessor. Adam Holzman Keyboard (including Miles Davis), Marco Minnemann, Drums (Aristocrats and including when participating in the Dream Theater Audition to succeed Mike Portnoy noticed), Nick Beggs, bass and Chapman Stick (one or the other might like him yet know of Kajagoogoo) and Guthrie Govan on guitar, who comes across as congenially as at the Aristocrats, however verfrickelt less mechanized, more relaxed, more spontaneous, the Song and the subject relevant.
Steven Wilson is for me an outstanding artist who is once again beside his musicianship and the deep love for what he does to prove. It is within the music business is an extremely beneficial countercurrent to the egalitarianism and the opportunism which takes too much there, in my view around. One may keep his compositions for top-heavy. For their creation the true perhaps, but as a result they are a working synthesis of stimulation and relaxation, where you can also profoundly emotional approaching from different directions. They are anything but ordinary, yet remain completely accessible at all times and have the potential to anyone who wants to engage in it, reward yourself with a wonderful intense listening experience.
