New 2 disc set from Steven Wilson featuring unreleased tracks, videos, live recordings and high-resolution audio -- available on Blu-ray & CD and CD & DVD
Available from October 21st (22nd in US/CA)
In February 2013 Steven Wilson released 'The Raven That Refused To Sing (And Other Stories)', his third solo album. The album was a huge critical and commercial success, earning numerous 5 star reviews and charting well across the world, debuting at #3 in the German national chart, #28 in the UK top 40, #57 in the US Billboard top 200, #16 in Holland and #17 in Finland.
Prior to these dates, Drive Home, a new audio-visual package will be released as a Blu-ray & CD set and as a CD & DVD set.
The Blu-ray and DVD feature the new video for lead track 'Drive Home' along with the video for 'The Raven That Refused To Sing', both directed by Jess Cope. They also include four tracks recorded live in Frankfurt during the recent tour.
In addition, the Blu-ray and DVD feature audio recordings of two previously unreleased tracks, 'The Birthday Party' and an orchestral version of 'The Raven That Refused To Sing'. 'The Birthday Party' was recorded in LA at the same sessions as the tracks that made up the album while the version of 'The Raven That Refused To Sing' is a new mix that strips the track back to just the orchestra and vocals.
All the songs on the Blu-Ray and DVD are mixed in both stereo and 5.1 sound, including the two audio only titles. The audio on the Blu-Ray is full lossless 96/24 throughout. These tracks are also included on the CD, along with the audio from the live tracks and an edit of 'Drive Home'.

I am 48 now, have listened and studied music for decades, and I have one thing to say, this generation is lucky to have Steven Wilson. Nothing more.
the absolute truth , Mate.
if only more people actually cared, he should be more famous than (insert super famous artist than most likely makes bad music and is and entertainer not an artist)
I said that over 10 years ago when I first heard PT. When I started getting into all the old PT catalog I told one of my friends that Steven was this generations Robert Fripp. I was lucky enough to meet Steven in Baltimore once and I also spoke with Steven at length over the phone back when I was involved with an internet music website. A real gentleman and a true artist.
I remember when I was a kid, I listened to the popular radio stations all the time, and times were good. As an adult I branched out and found things that didn't make it onto the radio, and I never really went back. When you get away from the big labels, and mainstream music, artists are free to do more of what they want, and that's where the real talent is.
Steven Wilson has always been interesting, but in the last few years he's really put out some amazing stuff. Raven and Hand Cannot Erase are both great albums.
Yeah H.C.E is right up there with FoaBP and i would say the Raven is right behind In Absentia as well.
Nick Beggs, Master of backing-vocals
His vocals and playing are heavenly in this I agree, well all that he does, but here particularly
Yes, great to single out Nick for special praise, he adds so much and some may not realise that. A special talent indeed. And i agree with everyone one else here too.....Steven Wilson is a genius and we are grateful and lucky to have him. Take care all.
I had to check 'coz I wasn't quite sure, but Nick Beggs was in the eighties pop group Kajagoogoo!
@@chenks54 he's been very busy since then, do check out his band 'the mute gods' too.....
@@lucyiliffe1799 Thanks Lucy .. sorry for the delay in replying .. Yes, I'll do that!
That ending has to be one of the most pleasing prog moments in the history of prog music - haunting, powerful, sad, reminiscent and beautiful all at the same time i'm finding it hard to grasp how the fuck the universe didn't crumble when shit like this exist
Nothing more to add...
+DeadVoltage1 It's one of the best tracks I've heard in a long time. Certainly the best of modern prog in recent years, IMO.
+DeadVoltage1 lol took me a while to really appreciate that part, at first I was like 'wtf just happened' but even then, I love the first melancholic 2 or 3 minutes. That instrumental part after 'I never really loved you, but I'll miss you anyway' fucking made me cry
So well said!
Probably the single greatest musician of our generation
The mixing & mastering of this live version is exquisite! Every instrument has adequate room to breathe and flourish! I love this one so damn much
steven wilson is a sound engineer , for sure the mixing and mastering will be outstanding (y) (y) (y)
I have seen over 200 high quality shows and the Porcupine Tree concert at the Roxy theater was by far the best sound I have ever heard at a show. Was 2nd row of the balcony. Flat ass incredible. Steven Wilson always surrounds himself with top flight people. Guthrie Govan is one of the best guitarists in the world. This drummer is very very good but still love Gavin Harrison (he's doing quite well with King Crimson and The Pineapple Thief)
@@boboplex "This Drummer" is Marco Minnemman, you should check him out.. Really, he's different, but as good as Gavin...
There is a reason why Robert Fripp hires Steven Wilson to remastered King Crimson albums.
this guy is simply a phenomenon, I'm from the classic prog era, Wilson is a landmark of innovation in the genre
Marco Meinmann is one hell of a drummer... What a performance!!! He will be dearly missed of Steven's new album :(
Nah because he would've clashed too much with the style of the album. Blundell is a great choice
Check out Porcupine Tree's Gavin Harrison. It's Stevens band before this. Gavin is the best modern drummer IMO. He's so musical as a drummer and top precision player. He is currently one of the 3 drummers in King Crimson and you know Robert Fripp only has the best. ruclips.net/video/R-Y6DqlNNMI/видео.html
@@fynii9478 who's blundel
This must be one of the sickest solo's i've ever heard. In a Positive way. I thought Drive home was one of the best, but this one makes me very very happy. This must be the only album with 2 solo's from my top 10 ranking solo's. This is EPIC!!!!!!!! GUTHIE FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!
I swear I will have Guthrie adopt me some day!
Guthrie cares not for the politics of man 🤣
We're so lucky to have steven Wilson . this album absolutely fantastic , it has nothing short of 70's Progressive Masterpieces like Red by King Crimson or Close to the edge by Yes .
and Goddamn Marco Minneman is awesome . what a drummer
***** Albums by Genesis , Van der geraf generator , Gentle giant , Emerson lake and Palmer , Rush and Pink Floyd .
mladthelad1 try soen or opeth
Mr. Bungle
Also, Guthrie Govan is a beast!
@mladthelad1 You might like Illuvatar, Ozric Tenacles, or Tranatlantic.
Just found out about Steven Wilson in the last few weeks. I am amazed by his music. He reminds me of my favorite classical composers with all the nuances he brings to his music. He is a great musician, composer, and singer.
What a treat you have and so many albums to discover, lucky you
If you like this album, try his Hand Cannot Erase album as well. It has the same dream team line up and more superb song writing.
@@kieron6791 Thank you. I have that album on order and it is in transit, from Australia I believe. It's been about four weeks now.
Just from 05:06 on and your going to experience a spiritual and musical rebirth
It always amazes me how good of a drummer Marco is
5:20 and that's how you remove a capo half way through a solo!
What the fuck
I know right. Never even missing a note nevermind needing that thing called a right hand. Holy shit Govan!!!!!
schpleeb your comment was 2 years ago but may I just say I love your profile pic. I am also both a fan of Steven Wilson and Karl Pilkington (what an odd combination lol)
holy fucking shit how the fuck
Because, Guthrie.
This song is so perfect it`s scary.
And that solo... seen Guthrie live 5 times with various lineups, including S.Wilson and of course The Aristocrats, he is alien for sure. No human can do all that.
This song is sublime
a beautiful mix of Genesis, Moody Blues, Yes and Steven Wilson. with a slight touch of Rush. masterpiece.
Beyond his compositional brilliance, Steven Wilson has been hired by multiple rock and prog bands to remix/remaster some of the greatest prog albums ever made.
probably two of the greatest at their instruments today with Marco and Guthrie
Gavin Harrison has a better groove that marco
@@austin5732 You say that just like that, like it's an implacable truth ? I wish I had your confidence !
@@beaudereck3122 but he is right, gavin harrison is the undisputed king of progressive drummers, not just the technical aspect but everything he does with his limbs is awe-inspiring
One of the best performance Steve did..
And a masterpiece..
Absolutely spectacular , emotional , sublime and epic all encapsulated in one song. Steven Wilson's immense vision coupled with an absolutely outstanding compliment of talented artists. For fans of musical truth and art this is a superb experience! Steven Wilson - Guthrie Govan - Adam Holzman - Theo Travis - Nick Beggs - Marco Minnemann >>BRAVO!
Steven Wilson: "I’d rather hear Dave Gilmour playing one note and break my heart, than hearing Joe Satriani playing 300 notes and not touch me in any way at all"
Also steven Wilson: Tours with Guthrie Govan and Marco Minnemann
Guthrie does both tho
Dude, Guthrie plays 300 notes and touches you. Not Satriani.
I believe the 2:04-4:00 fragment to be one of the most beautiful, dreamy and touching pieces of music I have ever heard in my life. I only wish it'd lasted longer. What a masterpiece....
Especially that bit starting at 2:50, gets me every time.
Thanks guy's
Try listening to Camel..Moonmadness, SnowGoose, you might like...
Yes it reminds me of similar short passages in the early Genesis music particularly their masterpiece Selling England by the Pound album which if you haven't already heard I can strongly recommend giving it a listen.
A genius who surrounded himself with the best of the best❤️
One of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. And I have heard A LOT.
Remember as wonderful as Steve Wilson is he stands on the shoulders of giants 50 years tall.Hence his devotion to remastering the greats.
And his remasters are epic!! I just wish he’d do them in Dolby Atmos so I can really enjoy the music in 7-speaker surround sound....
This is just too fuckin good....incredibly talented guys & amazingly good musicianship...
Best setup with Marco Minemann, Guthirie Govan and Theo Travis. They're outstanding, miss them so much on the new records!
The whole song is a immense layering of emotions and every musician on the stage has a huge contribution to the overall feeling of it. The flute guy, the mellow but steady bass section and the keyboard which are awesome.
Marco Minneman gives sustain and strentgth to the solo, which is fantastic in his own way, with a stunning drumming. Powerful but groovy as he's capable to do and did.
It's sublime
Can’t stop listening and watching this song, truly amazing.
I am blessed to have this song discovered.
Superb Musicianship....
goosebumps all over when that flute comes in
I remember Tangerine Dream doing a gig behind a curtain back in the late 70's.
True talent. Steven Wilson.
Listening again tonight with my brother. We agree. Great! Brings back our memories of Genesis, Moody Blues, King Crimson, and Yes that we remember all the way back to 1969. And moves on from there. Let me just say, God bless Steven Wilson (and all those who play with him) and move them into all truth and righteousness. The Kingdom of God is coming.
The watchmaker works all day and long into the night
He pieces things together despite his failing sight
Though all the cogs connect with such poetic grace
Time has left its curse upon this place
Each hour becomes another empty space to fill
Wasted with the care and virtues of his skill
The watchmaker buries something deep within his thoughts
A shadow on the staircase of someone from before
This thing is broken now and cannot be repaired
Fifty years of compromise and aging bodies shared
Eliza dear, you know, there's something I should say
I never really loved you, but I'll miss you anyway
Well, you were just meant to be temporary
While I waited for gold
We filled up the years and I found that I liked
Having someone to hold
But for you I had to wait
Until one day it was too late
Cogs and levers mesh
We are bound in death
Melt that silver down
I'm still inside you
Cogs and levers mesh
We are bound in death
Melt that silver down
I'm still inside you
Cogs and levers mesh
We are bound in death
Melt that silver down
I'm still inside you
I was doing college radio when signify came out I played it quite a bit! I'm glad to be still listening to Steven Wilson!
Monster drumming 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
When Nick sings the backing vocal lines and the chorus melodies really kick in, it really is something..... 😢🎸
Well actually im just sobbing at the mastery of all of it
Damn, feel like learning the flute just for that piece of heaven at 02:05. Sublime song.
You really make me feel the music the real feal, I miss your shows, I really miss your music.
This is seriously fantastic.
One thing I like about this album is how clear the 70s prog rock influences are on it. This song specifically gives me strong Genesis vibes
I like the emotional ride in the melody when the flute comes into the instrumental. This is as good as early prog from Genesis, Kansas, and Gentle Giant
The watchmaker works all day, puts things together and does it with the highest precision - like my life clockwork - big, fantastic music
The watchmaker works all day, and long into the night
He pieces things together despite his failing sight Though all the cogs connect with such poetic grace
Time has left its curse upon this place Each hour becomes another empty space to fill
Wasted with the care and virtues of his skill.....
the Watchmaker metaphore whom is deeply passionate of fine mechanics is so powerful and make us think deeply about the relationship between the artist and its creation which undergo the inevitable curse of time .... I can make a guess here which is " Entropy is a source of creation" ..........
Now i believe!
GOD EXISTS! Only a GOD can compose a masterpiece like this song!
Pedro Ventura true dat!
No Steven Wilson can. Do not take this away from him! He worked for this and you want to pay royalty's to the Church?
Dennis Struijcken
You're Right!!! SW > GOD
Still this song rivets my attention, especially at the ending!!!
Sono inarrivabili🎸🤩 Unici degni dei Vecchi Dinosauri Maestri del Prog. dal quale hanno rubato il meglio fondendosi con il talento musicale di Steven Wilson che risulta assolutamente INFINITO 💪 ARTISTA IMMENSO ☝️👍
Can you believe that Steven said in an interview that he's not a fan of Genesis, yet he makes songs like this?
Best SW lineup ever.
THIS IS A FUCKING MASTERPIECE!!!
Oh..the flute is just wonderful
Steve & to the whole Damn Crew!!! You are the 1!!!!!
I saw PT in a little bar in Covington, KY during the Deadwing tour and had no idea that I was in the presence of a music God. The video quit working and Steven was not happy, but I was because I concentrated on the musicianship.
What a groovy song, hip man, really with it groovers
He's a f... genius!!!
Beautiful
Guthrie, FFS man! Pure, flowing genius.
Fuuuucking incredible.
Why did it take so long for me to find him and Porcupine Tree...?
Ok, that guitar solo was inhuman. Ive watched it 500 times. Still don't get it.
So as the drums section at the end of the song. In fact, the whole song in a masterpiece
He changes the capo while playing it. Can you believe it? Insane.
It's Guthrie Govan. He is a freak of nature!
@@albashayrtaj5926 he didnt changed any capo, there is none, he fretted right hand for tapping. Its not unusall at all...
Dynamic Dissonance Oh. At @5:20 it seemed like it. Looked like he removed something from the fretboard. Regardless, man is a genius.
ㅜㅜ너무 좋아
Oh the sounds of that Ovation at the beginning. Magical.
Oh..that flute😍
I know steven willson, habe see him also with porcupine, great man and his team.
just speechless !!
Wooooooow I don’t know which song of SW is better, he is a genius
Pure Treasure
I hope m fine..i get waves of goosebumps listening to this.
Beautiful track! Hope I get to see them live sometime soon!🎹🎸🎶👍
Beautiful ❤ thank you SW
79k views... How is this even possible? Why is this music not in the top most listened musics of youtube?
Shivers..!
Because common people are dumb as fuck
Progressive rock requires a certain level of IQ to be understood and appreciated. Quite simply majority of the world doesn't match ours.
Maravilhoso ❤
unreal sounds & the lyrics.
I saw this live at Clifton Park, NY and you guys tore the house down. I was blown away.
Coming here in 12 days!!! needless to say I have tickets already a month in advance :)
having the dogs out during a show is crazy ngl
These guys are the best? Wow.
I enjoy so much these guys are amazing Richard barbieri is scandalous versátil japan hero for so long i ll never forget those sylvian days
dat piano
Dat guitarra!!
RROGRESSIVE ROCK uber alles !!!
Thanks to GENESIS, GENTLE GIANT,ANTONY PHILLIPS, EL&P, PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI, JETHRO TULL,YES, KING CRIMSON, PINK FLOYD, CAMEL, VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR, GONG ecc...ecc...for all the masterpieces they gave us. Since ever, noone has been more creative in music than them.
PROG or DIE !!
P.S. Doors, please...let the place clean when you leave !!!
RIP Mr Wilson...this perfection will be forever in my heart...change can be good sometimes but one shouldnt stray too far for so long, theres always a chance you cant come back. Thank you for making my ears smile!
He’s still alive you know?
Great recording / performance... & How I wish for a live acoustic version of " Sentimental "
I just watched it 3 times in a row .. another fantastic performance as always .. I hear shades of Genesis
this song could easily have been on an early Genesis album ..Foxtrot or Selling England by the Pound!!!
Let's hear it for Theo Travis on flute. He also plays with Soft Machine and has done some great duos with Robert Fripp. His playing on Grace for Drowning reminds me of Mel Collins with King Crimson.
great!!!
inefablemente grandioso...
The best concert on Chile of 2013
Time has left its curse upon this place..

What planet's Guthrie from?
David Dee A ROCKy one
They and Marco are from the same planet
From The Aristocrats
A glorious place mere mortals do not traverse.
Not sure, but his nickname should be, The Govanator!
Muy Buen tema...
FVCKING AMAZING!!!
I think Adam holzman listened well to Tony Banks of Genesis on the Lamb Lies down , which in itself is a compliment 👍
how the fuck was 2013 7 years ago and we're now in the middle of a fucking pandemic. Atleast we have this sing as an anchor in time
the best!!
I love how they leave places for Marco to go apeshit on the live recordings, like this and the end of Abandoner on the Get All You Deserve DVD
unglaublich, nein doch ohhh ;)))))))))))))))
To paraphrase Leonard Cohen . . . Do you want it darker?
Magnificent production here, of a huge performance of a great song
Sublime.
