Really digging the Steven Wilson/porcupine tree rabbit hole I’ve dived myself into! “Steven” has got to be one of the most talented guys I’ve never heard of!
I agree, but I would prefer the studio versions. The harmonica/guitar/synth section on Refuge is perfect on the studio version and the Ancestral solo should be Guthrie's version too. IMHO.
Just stunningly beautiful. "Colour" is a perfect word for it. (the Canadian spelling of course) Love the journey through the various sections. Everything SW touches is gold imo.
This entire album is incredible. My favorite solo album from him. And 99% of everything Steven Wilson does is dark and depressing. But that is what makes it so good. lol.. Some of his newer stuff is happier and it seems to coincide with him getting married. Hopefully not a Yoko moment!
Adam Holtzman - former touring band leader for Miles Davis - provides the amazing Moog solo. I've seen him perform it twice live and it was incredible to watch the other band members look on with delight as he played it. He's THAT good ;)
Great reaction again, so glad you are doing more of Steven’s music, so so much to listen too, Ancestral and the watchmaker live are fantastic if you get round to them, keep rocking and hopefully stay on this journey 😁👍
Steven Wilson is a genius musician and this is his best album. I love all of his albums both solo and with Porcupine Tree but Hand Cannot Erase is the one. The band on this album is so killer. Everything fell into place for this masterpiece. Thx for the reaction!
In concert , Steven actually plays the bass part on Home Invasion using a 5 string Spector Coda. The more melodic runs on the whole track are Nick Beggs on Chapman stick.
I can't agree with you there. Most of the studio instrumentation/solos are perfect and a Guthrie's solos are always differently interpreted (butchered) live. Absorb the studio albums first before moving to the live stuff, I'd say.
The only natural progression from here would be a reaction to The Aristocrats. Both Marco Minneman and Guthrie Govan are in this band with Brian Bellar completing this power trio. Cant get much better than them. Any song will do, honestly.
Hand. Cannot. Erase. followed The Raven that Refused to Sing (which "Luminol" was from.) It's a very similar album, but not quite as aggressively proggy. The same band plays on both albums. This is still during SW's drive to emulate groups like Zappa's where you had rock and jazz people playing next to each other. A lot of attention gets paid to Nick Beggs, of course, but in case you didn't know keyboard player Adam Holzman played with Miles Davis in the 80's. That Moog solo was stretched out a bit in concert and was pretty insane. And Guthrie is a great guitar player, but that was a hard act to follow! Dave Kilminster, who had played with Roger Waters, replaced Guthrie for most of the tour.
This entire album is amazing. Imo Wilson’s best in his long career. Its not necessarily the most creative album, but damn if it isnt a perfect Prog rock album.
Saw Steven perform this song at The Beacon Theater in Manhattan during that tour. Home Invasion is good but not as jumping as Luminol. Regret #9, which is when the moog kicks in brings it to a whole new ethereal level.
Who's doing the mono synth solo? Reminds me a little of that original Dream Theater keyboardist Kevin Moore, and also T Lavitz from Dixie Dregs (especially his solo in Divided We Stand)
Ok,ok!! I'll subscribe. Thanks to Brian for stumping up the cash. So, you're a Raven that Refused to Sing guy. That's ok. It's jazzier. I prefer rockier, so Hand. Cannot. Erase. for me, is Steven's best. To the Bone is also excellent and Refuge off of that album is magnificent. Brian? 😝😝

Steven Wilson is a genius ! 👍👍
I highly, HIGHLY recommend a full listen to this album, in its entirety. Brilliant, start to finish. A true masterpiece.
In relevance to Porcupine Tree… Fear of a Blank Planet and Deadwing are amazing as well
Steven Wilson is I think, the Greatest living composer today...
Nice, snarky puppy next level up, go for it, they are a badass group
Really digging the Steven Wilson/porcupine tree rabbit hole I’ve dived myself into! “Steven” has got to be one of the most talented guys I’ve never heard of!
Gotta love Steven (and PT), seen him live and PT live as well, such a magician,. can't think of any other active musicians as interesting as him.
Wow ! What a great song ! Thank you !
Guthrie improvised that solo and it was one take....🤯
Like rick beato says, Guthrie is probably the best all round jazz/rock/fusion, whatever you want to call it guitarists of today, awesome talent
One of the greatest solos ever
Steven Wilson is an incredibly talented guy as you may have gleaned. This stuff is mind blowing. Great reaction.
YUGE P-tree and SW fan here!!
Such an awesome track. The synth solo section is incredible.
Guthrie Govan......that is all 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Saw PT live in London for the first time Nov this year.
Absolutely incredible gig.
Steve Wilson is a master of his craft.
‘Ancestral’, ‘Refuge’ and ‘Detonation’ should be on your to do list. All available live on YT
I agree, but I would prefer the studio versions. The harmonica/guitar/synth section on Refuge is perfect on the studio version and the Ancestral solo should be Guthrie's version too. IMHO.
@@jimstewart8122 true but the version recorded at Royal Albert Hall ( Home invasion tour) is incredible. Also here in YT
I'm a huge PT and SW fan! Thanks for this one! There is music on this album that always brings me to tears. Thanks for this one!
I need to listen to this through headphones
Yes you do.
Always fun to see someone who has a deep understanding of music listen to this for the first time.
I recommend you The watchmaker or Remainder the black dog and What happens now or Way out of here from Steven's band Porcupine Tree

lol @ yoko moment
Best song ever!!..regret #9

After all of the Rush reactions, I think this is the first time I saw you REALLY enjoy a piece of music. Amazing!
This was great, I think I dug Luminol better...
There's actually a lot of stuff i'm really digging. The donation request I'm getting have been pretty solid.
Great reaction again, so glad you are doing more of Steven’s music, so so much to listen too, Ancestral and the watchmaker live are fantastic if you get round to them, keep rocking and hopefully stay on this journey 😁👍
Guthrie govan❤
Definitely my fave Guthrie Govan solo!
Steven Wilson is a genius musician and this is his best album. I love all of his albums both solo and with Porcupine Tree but Hand Cannot Erase is the one. The band on this album is so killer. Everything fell into place for this masterpiece. Thx for the reaction!
If you haven’t already, you should check out Guthrie Govan’s band The Aristocrats. Try the Bad Asteroid live video.
I came here to say the same thing! The Aristocrats are in my top 5 bands ever.
👍. I think the one with the marching band at the beginning is the best one.
In concert , Steven actually plays the bass part on Home Invasion using a 5 string Spector Coda. The more melodic runs on the whole track are Nick Beggs on Chapman stick.
Yeah such a great album, theres a live nation performance here on youtube you should check out they do the entire hand cannot erase
Always go Live with PT or Steven Wilson Songs!
Because most are available on TH-cam…
I can't agree with you there. Most of the studio instrumentation/solos are perfect and a Guthrie's solos are always differently interpreted (butchered) live. Absorb the studio albums first before moving to the live stuff, I'd say.
Steven has a lot of more projects not mentioned in the clip: No-Man, Blackfield, an album with the guy from Opeth
The only natural progression from here would be a reaction to The Aristocrats. Both Marco Minneman and Guthrie Govan are in this band with Brian Bellar completing this power trio. Cant get much better than them. Any song will do, honestly.
Superb album .. check out routine or perfect life

Banging that drum still! Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson discography deep dive! 😂

Actually, guthrie is always amazing but the moog solo is the highlight of this track!
This album is amazing , the live show with the visuals is fucking epic! You got it right buddy “the color” look at the album cover..😂
