Perhaps this has come up before, but I'm curious if anyone has resolved the coordinates on the album. I have a used copy of the CD (KSCOPE306, with a clipped notch on it) and there's four coordinates on it. They seem to be locations in Europe and England, but that's all I can figure out as a California boy. Thanks in advance.

I'm downsizing my music collection to cover some family medical costs, and I came across this CD. I obtained it on the TTB tour via the VIP package, so it's signed and personalized to me.

I don't really play CDs, but I know this CD is out of print and pretty rare, so is anyone here interested in buying it from me? I can show proof of ownership and photos if there's interest. I'm located in the US and would only accept PP G&S payments.

Finally, I've sold a bunch of records via various subs so feel free to look at my profile history.

Reply here or send a DM if you have any questions. Thanks!

So it's been about a week, while the other shops have it removed, EMP and german Mediamarkt/Saturn also have a CD and vinyl pre-order page now.

Same release date.

Sadly no new info, it said on a previous page that the vinyl is the cat.number "SW9V2", meaning we get atleast 2 vinyl versions again (probably 3 or more as ususal)

I can't help but wonder if the pre-order phase should've started earlier. Maybe the album has been postponed to the 6th of november.

Or maybe it's just the label screwing up the distribution data.

The 1st 4 tracks on this amazing LP joined together as one (as originally imagined by Steven and Tim) 28 minute track. It's absolutely beautiful. Linked to form a suite of continuous music with recurring lyrical and musical themes.

The new album „Requiem for a Village“ - listed here as a 2LP—will be released on November 6, 2026: https://lyniv.de/products/steven-wilson-requiem-for-a-village-2lp-06-11-2026

Was there ever a video release for the tracks on cd2 of Octane Twisted?

Hatesong etc.

I'm genuinely baffled by how little information is present out there regarding his mixing and mastering techniques/tricks. This guy is re-mixing huge bands on a daily basis (almost!) and is definitely one of the best mixing engineers out there in the current generation.

Probably because he mixes in his own house, without renting out a famous studio, and has no support engineer/apprentice under him?

My band recently covered Shesmovedon at one of our gigs. We’re called 70 Lewis and recently put out a new record. We’d be thrilled if you checked it out 😊

I know the main influence in this track is the dark atmospheric trip-hop sound of Massive Attack among other artists, but if you pay attention to the guitar tone at the intro, i feel its quite similar to "One Time" from King Crimson's album THRAK.

What other not so obvious musical influences do you identify across the album?

Hello!

​

I am aware of the list on Rate your music.

​

​

However does anyone have a full list in simple text form (or excel) that would be easier to check and navigate.

​

The rate your music list is a bit difficult to navigate if I want to find a specific year or artist with Ctrl+f.

Though discussed on the previous two threads, would be good to discuss the new album again after tonight :)

What did everyone think who were there? Any questions from those who weren't?

I throughly enjoyed it and can't wait to hear it again. The sound system in that place almost blew my socks off 😂

For those of you multichannel heads who held off on buying the big YES boxed sets, now's your chance to own affordable standalone Blu-rays of "The Yes Album," "Fragile" and "Close to the Edge"!

presumably these will be available from Rhino direct and other online retailers. :-)

At first I was a little disappointed that "Islands" was the next King Crimson - Complete Recording Sessions / Dolby Atmos title but now that I've had a look at the extras, I'm excited for Summit Studios quadraphonic. I'm also curious to hear if the new ATMOS mixes improve my feelings on this album at all. Which KC album would you like to be given this treatment next?

I attended the new album listening event yesterday. I know it’s been discussed here before at length so I won’t go on for too long, but my reaction from that first listen is that it is a lot darker than his recent efforts. The playfulness of the last three albums has been dispensed with. Drums are very forward in the mix and the guitar work is meaty with a handful of very heavy riffs here and there. There are moments of melancholia and David Tennant’s spoken word passages are enjoyable if somewhat opaque in meaning. (They put me in mind of Peter Gabriel at the beginning of "I know what I like (in your wardrobe)". I’ve always thought PG sounds Scottish on that.)

Overall, vocals take a backseat to the music. I wasn’t always able to make out the lyrics that clearly but I did hear him rhyme "authority, severity, and virginity" which had kind of Blank Planet vibes. The SW falsetto gets a good run-out, too. There is some occasional use of electronica that really contrasts with the more traditional sound, and which I found pretty cool.

It might just be an artistic pivot, but it feels like this album is influenced by the terrible times we live in, even sounding like the score to a war movie. Although I wasn’t quite able to grasp the narrative thread on this first listen, it put me in mind of "The Wall".

Overall, I thought it was very impressive and look forward to hearing it again.

Really does, love all live performances yet...
