Le Gogh Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I may be jumping the gun a bit early on this one, but I've just seen the following article which announces a European tour, and that full details of the upcoming album will follow shortly: http://www.kscopemusic.com/2014/11/19/steven-wilson-announces-new-album-details-tour/ Knowing Steven Wilson's passion for sound quality, I should imagine that there will be a decent vinyl pressing of this.

The Vool Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 This will rule....as all stuff from SW does! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Gogh Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Have to say I'm really excited for this album. The previews on YouTube sound great. Got a much more Porcupine Tree feel to it. I liked the last album but it was a bit too 70's prog for me. Too much flute and sax... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vool Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Still unsure which gig to attend...either Cologne which is closer to my place at the moment or Stuttgart which is around 50km from the place I'll probably be living at that moment + it's my fiancees 30th birthday that day... ...and ALL gigs in Germany are seated (which I can't stand! pun unintended) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully get some news about a good pressing soon. With that cover I think a pink swirl or splatter would go well. Although I assume it'll probably just be a standard pressing...

The Vool Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Will probably be a very high quality pressing on black vinyl...as all SW solo releases (except for the Cover Version 7"s). Would love a release like Insurgentes (a book with space for 10"s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markok Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 What was wrong with the Cover Version 7 inches? I have most of them on black vinyl and as far I can remember, they were all well pressed. I havent listened to them in a while though.

The Vool Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 What was wrong with the Cover Version 7 inches?Oh, I see the misunderstanding now I didn't mean to say there was anything wrong with them...but they were pressed on clear vinyl as well (which is untypical for SW-solo releases) ; that's what I was referring to. BTW, there seems to be a limited vinyl release exclusive to jpc.de which comes with a special art print. https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/poprock/detail/-/art/steven-wilson-hand-cannot-erase/hnum/6675516 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shifres Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I believe this is the normal Vinyl release + bookley, I don't think there's any different vinyl variant than the 180g black ones. That's why I'm holding myself from preordering this for now. Edit: As a matter of fact, JPC's description doesn't seem different than Burning Shed's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shifres Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I don't think that SW's solo albums ever had a different variant, I only remember PT's special limited editions vinyl colors, could be cool if he'd have done a different variant but as long as it sounds awesome, I'm all for it.

That's why I'm holding myself from preordering this for now. Edit: As a matter of fact, JPC's description doesn't seem different than Burning Shed's I don't even think there's a booklet with the vinyl version. Steven Wilson HQ says there's the 2LP version, and a deluxe edition. But it says this about the deluxe version: "The deluxe edition is presented in an elaborately designed 96 page case-bound book, with several additional inserts – including a diary, a sketchbook, newspaper cutting, a letter etc – featuring artwork by long-term SW collaborators Lasse Hoile (photography), Hajo Mueller (illustrations) and Carl Glover (design). Contents of the deluxe edition include: – Hand. Cannot. Erase. album CD – Original demos CD (exclusive to this edition and including music that did not make the final album) – Blu-Ray containing hi resolution stereo & 5.1 audio (96/24 5.1 LPCM & DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1), seven additional alternative versions, mixes & radio edits, half-hour studio documentary, studio sessions photo gallery – DVD-V containing stereo & 5.1 audio (DTS 96/24 5.1 & 96/24 Stereo LPCM)" Unfortunately it doesn't make any mention of what is included with the vinyl release, so I'm guessing it's just a standard 2LP version (which I'm happy with anyway).

gumbercules Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Speaking of the Cover Version 7"s, is anyone looking for those? I have all of them on clear if anyone is interested. Looking to sell them as a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GalacticMelt Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 "The Raven" was my favorite album of his. They just keep getting better IMO. Can't wait for this one to come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Gogh Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Not sure why, but I've only just heard the title track in full! I think I prefer it over the two songs personally. Both very good though... http://youtu.be/xpZpfqE_KgQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Gogh Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 The deluxe cd package looks great. They really missed a trick not doing a similar (or better!) deluxe package with vinyl instead. Nice new track as well: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannibal Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 The song in the SE video sounds like SW was inspired by 70's Rush. Very cool mix of sounds in that song. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Gogh Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Just listening to the whole thing for the first time while browsing through the beautiful book,,, :wub: VERY jealous! I just went with the vinyl copy, but by the time I ordered it was sold out on Burning Shed. Ordered it via EMP who ship from Germany so probably got another week to wait! Was only sent this morning. Boo!! I'm sure if I hunt around I can find a free download... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
