Title: Hand.Cannot.Erase
Post by Oldrocker on 2^nd Mar, 2015 at 6:35pm

Well, today my absolutely amazing deluxe version of Steven Wilson's new album Hand.Cannot.Erase arrived.

What can I say ?? Wow !! Well, there's the main CD, a CD with demos of the various tracks, a DVD & Blu-Ray in high def & 5.1 audio.

The booklet is almost as large as a "proper" album - almost 11" square & an inch thick.
It's just so well done !
See here for a preview of the contents : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLsgd4L-nAM

I can't wait for the gig - for me it's in 2 weeks in Edinburgh.

Oh .. the music ... well it's what you'd come to expect from Steven Wilson .. it's just good modern Prog music !

Cheers,

Jim

Congratulations on getting your copy so early, Jim.

Indeed, there has been a fair amount of hype surrounding this new Wilson release - and I'm sure that it's warranted.

That and good to see you on the forum again. [smiley=smiley.gif]

The CD is playing in constant rotation in my car at the moment ... it's pretty bloomin' good !! :)
Had a brief chance to listen to the bluray - the 5.1 mix is quite stunning !!

The gig : Jim.Cannot.Wait !! :D
Will report back about that - I think it'll be something quite amazing !

While I'm not on the forum too often these days I'm always tuned in to SA !!!

Cheers,

Jim

Good man !!! Would love to hear more SW on here. ;)

I posted a review of the Edinburgh gig on SA's F/B page - the writer certainly conveyed my thoughts about the gig !! It really was quite amazing !!
Seems to have disappeared though !! So here's a link : http://prog.teamrock.com/reviews/2015-03-21/steven-wilson-live-in-edinburgh

Some of you might have noticed that Steven is going to be doing 2 shows in the Royal Albert Hall on the 28th & 29th September.
These 2 shows have been announced to have "very special guests" & will comprise 2 different sets.

There are rumours that one of the special guests might be David Gilmour !!!!!!!!!

So ... in the light of that I'm going to BOTH gigs !!!
For the Monday gig I managed to get amazing seats - Arena Row 8 - slap bang in the middle !!!

These are going to be a couple of amazing days !!

Anyone on here going ?? Love to meet up if you are !

Cheers,

Jim
