  • My third solo album, 'The Raven That Refused To Sing (And Other Stories)', turned ten back in February 🎂
    The album was predominantly my take on the seventies progressive rock style and was based on a series of ghost stories.

      ​@izzyalistair Luminol is a world in the world of this album. Every instrument so perfectly, so homogeneous produced, so wonderful progressive... it's a trip, a colorful trip. It's hard to find the right words for me, to describe this great gift in music given to us, English is not my language. 😉

They sadly said that they had a young daughter who passed away and how your music helped them so much through the years. It was such an emotional climax for all of us when you played the title track. Their daughter was named Raven 🌹🌹🌹💔💔💔🐦‍⬛

    I love Porcupine Tree, I love Prog Rock, I love a lot of what Steven does but there's a few of his solo albums that just haven't clicked for me for some reason and this is one of them (Grace for Drowning and Hand. Cannot. Erase are the others where I love individual songs, but not the album as a whole). There are individual songs on it that I absolutely adore - Drive Home, The Pin Drop, and the title track itself - but as an album it just hasn't worked for me yet. I don't think it's because the other songs are too long (usually I'm fine with 10+ minute songs) but they just haven't connected with me. I'll try it again at some point and maybe it'll click then, who knows!
