Now there’s an aspect of the Tree that I never new … Richard Barbieri – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Passed on – with thanks to : Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tampa rocker (that would be ‘the FIFTH Tree Man’) – made both of his dreams come true
Nice human article about the other live guitarist that hangs around the stage when The Tree play live. Reminded me of these photos from a few years ago – taken in Camden Town, London when he and SW played to around 200 people in a record store.
Passed on – with thanks to : Tampa rocker made both of his dreams come true Just listening to the very first ever album by Renaissance – by the band that never quite managed to do the second album – despite number one being awesome – and the band had prodigious talent. Still – there you go.
I looked them up on Wikipedia – and found 1) quite an interesting way of presenting the personnel changes 2) that Annie Haslam – pretty much the driver of version 2 of the band still keeps them together and then buried away – this little fact that i never EVER knew …. 3) Gavin Harrison played drums for Renaissance in 1983 !!!
I thought I was going to like it – being a fan of both and all – maybe I’m just too darned old fashioned I wrote an email to a friend this morning who needed an introduction to Porcupine Tree. Thought I would share what I came up with. Be interested to see if there are any additions or modifications to the thinking.
FIRST READ THIS : http://www.kscopemusic.com/stevenwilson/insurgentes/ipod-destruction.html Continue reading A Porcupine Tree Primer I’ve been following these guys for their past few releases. And the new one, Someone Here is Missing, is just around the corner.
And the album mini site can be accessed here: Someone Here is Missing I saw Bruce and the band open for Riverside in Amsterdam a few months back. This UK band is poised to deliver a great album that could take them far (at least further than 30 or 40,000 records). Not to be missed. If you haven’t heard their last two studio records, Tightly Unwound and Little Man, they are excellent. Also, 3000 Days provides a good retrospective on the band (as well as some alternative recordings). Nosound – reported on them before in this ‘illustrious organ’ and now – another stream is available.  Their web site is here. Forgotten how I discovered this band until I saw the quotes – DUH ….
Anathema announces their first studio album of new material since 2003 (A Natural Disaster-a gem if you haven’t heard it). Mixed by Porcupine Tree’s Steven Wilson, We’re here because we’re here represents the continuing maturation of Anathema as a progressive rock band.  Anathema began their career as a “doom metal” band and have, over the years and through several lineup changes, become a band in the vein of Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, and the milder side of Opeth. Strong writing, solid production, and a “leak” of four songs over the past few months promise a strong outing that could take this (relatively) little known band very far. Digital version is scheduled for release on May 30. You can get a free download of the song Thin Air by joining K-Scope’s mailing list. The album microsite can be found here -> We’re Here Because We’re Here Kettle Prime’s farewell concerts just keep going ! I saw the one currently promoted on their home page in September ’09. It is now available as a free download – and they are performing again soon on Maui at the same venue. 
Worth a trip to Diamond’s if you are on Island.
