Incredible instrumental by Steven Wilson. I totally loved it. This song is track number 5 from Steven Wilson's 4 ½, his amazing new EP released on 22nd January 2016.
+Marcin Koczorowski Dokładnie! Dark matter, My book of regrets, Dont hate me czy Sound of Muzak były niezłe, ale po Vermilioncore byłem już w muzycznym niebie :D
+Jan Bazylak i don't know what Steven Wilson does to make his live performances so much better than the studio version, I saw him playing this song in Mexico a mont hago and i completely agree with you, it sounded brilliant.
this is interesting music. I like it. sw has so many ideas, and he tries them all. I have no problem with that. I discovered pt just two years ago, and was hooked by "arriving somewhere..", the live performance. so after listening to every single pt song I could find, and loving them all, and still not being finished, I started to listen to his solo or other works. I think there will always be a bit of melancholy about pt being finished, because the band has such magic together, and the music live is so tight, and so damn good, that you cannot help but be a bit sad that they don't do what they were doing then anymore. but as long as I can still blast it at high volume and don't ever have to stop revisiting the great and magical band that was pt, I can listen to his other work as well, and enjoy it in a different way. such talent. you can't blame them for moving on. how many times did I move on in my own life? many! sw would be bored if he'd just been in one band. boredom is a soul crusher.
+Ayur Bhatta Yes, indeed, by far my favorite track on this new E.P., it sounds very different to all other Steven Wilson's music, I loved it since the very first time I played it. This guy always has something awesome to please his fans.
+Robin Boosmann It must have been great being able to see this masterpiece played live. I wish they play it here in mexico City when he gives his concert in march.
Luis Hernandez-higuera Ahí estuve, fue un excelente concierto, en especial me agradó cómo tocaron esta pieza, y me sorprendió mucho que tocaran The Sound of Muzak, la primera canción que escuché de Porcupine Tree, y la que me introdujo a la música de Steven Wilson, no podría haber pedido un mejor concierto.
estoy de acuerdo contigo, fue buen concierto y lo disfrutamos mucho mi padre y yo. aunque estuvo medio carbon y vergonzoso lo del playback...cual es tu opinion sobre eso? se vio extremadamente mal verdad?
+stisnat1 I get what you mean, he always create something entirely new, I mean, I would never have expected this to come from Steven Wilson, this song is quite odd for him, (that doesn't mean is not awesome) each one of his songs it's like hearing different musicians, but it's just one.
Rupti Doolooroodoo Let's just hope Steven surprises us with another PT album in the near future. In the meantime, I'll be enjoying his excellent solo records.
tutto già sentito. l'unica track rilevante è questa (che, tra l'altro, sembra uscita da un vecchio disco dei Porcupine Tree). un ep di transizione? lo speriamo vivamente
+Roberto Zao Questa é la mia track favorita di questo E.P., ma io non credo que questa sia l'unica rilevante. "My Book of Regrets" é molto brava e originale, penso anche che "Hapines III" sia bella, nonostante che non mi sembra originale, mi piace pero. Anch'io ascolto questa canzone come si fosse uscita da Porcupine Tree.
Insurgents, Grace for Drowning ,The Raven That Refused to Sing (And Other Stories) , Hand. Cannot. Erase. sono capolavori. Questo mi sembra un buon disco ma non è all'altezza dei precedenti. Comunque sia , io amo Steven e tutto quello che ha fatto con i Porcupine e i No-man. E' un fiore nel deserto della musica di oggi. Ciao Sparkle..
Roberto Zao Sono d'accordo con te, ma solo voglio dire che questo é un E.P. con track che lui ha scritto mentre lavorava in altri progetti, può essere che per questo non sia cosí bravo come i suoi altri CD. Saluti
+Martin Votava The Porcupine Tree phase is over, it was incredible and beautiful, but it's done, Steven Wilson himself stated that everything that could have been done with Porcupine Tree has been done indeed, it's done. There are 10 records of that phase to keep enjoying, the possibilities of that band have been totally exploited, so let Steven Wilson do the amazing music he wants and he has been giving to us, he es exploring different sounds and different music, which I consider is great. If you don't want him, just stop listening to his upcoming records and keep listening to Porcupine Tree's material.
+Rarity Sparkle I can't just let him go.. I love this guy but I'm convinced all this super technique playing spoil one little thing and that is melodies. For me that is what made him so different and unique! He thinks he's doing a great art now and he's right in some ways but for me is more ordinary then ever.... And we should stop him :D
+Martin Votava I guess it is matter of tastes, since I consider his melodies to be better in his solo carrier than the Porcupine Tree's ones. As with being "ordinary" I must disagree on that one, he is improving a lot on stepping out of what's been done in prog-metal/prog-rock community nowadays, which I hear more oriented to Porcupine Tree… i strongly believe be would become ordinary if Porcupine Tree continued, because most bands kind of sound very similar to how they used to sound. Nothing to do with that, but I find this track very Porcupine-Treeish.

Steven Wilson: Not the genius we deserve, but the one we need
Anyone who's mind is open deserves Steven Wison.
Saw him yesterday playing in Brussels.
He was great again.
Four times I saw him performing live and makes me going back the next time again
Really *REALLY* enjoying that bass.
Flippy Flopper its actually a Chapman stick that nick beggs is playing
Are you sure ? I saw their gig in Lyon last tuesday and Nick was slapping it on bass
Very nice... a real Porcupine Tree feel in it, love it
Seems it would fit very well in In Absentia or maybe Stupid Dream.
Slave called shiver
I saw him playing this song yesterday in Krakow and it sounded amazing!
+Jan Bazylak Też byłem i ten kawałek w szczególności mnie wgniótł w glebę (dokładnie to siedzenie) :D
+Marcin Koczorowski Dokładnie! Dark matter, My book of regrets, Dont hate me czy Sound of Muzak były niezłe, ale po Vermilioncore byłem już w muzycznym niebie :D

+Jan Bazylak wersja płytowa przy krakowskim wykonaniu i brzmieniu na tej sali jest dobra, ale nie porywająca. To co było w Krakowie to muzyczny orgazm
+FuryMotoMachine W rzeczy samej!
More Bass More Bass & More Bass. Blows my mind!
this is just brilliant.
Brufordish, BrandXish, just love this
absolute brilliance. saw him play this live a few years back. mind blowing.
amazinggggg
Best track on the Ep!

I liked this song till I saw it live. Now I love this song. It was one of the highlights of the show for me.
+colokurt1 I feel the exact same way.
I saw him live in London in January and it was the heart of the show aswell. the raven that refused to sing also pumped it up
colokurt1 my thoughts exactly haha :D
Played it in Florence concert as well! I didn't expect it and I was so glad he did!
Release date is my birthday. Best present this year!
Steven have endless fountain of proge, god bless it!
Kinda gives me "shivers" ;)
Is this a reference to Porcupine Tree's Slave Called Shiver? Both basslines are hell awesome.
Indeed and hella similar, love 'em both. :D
Instantly in love with this before even a minute in.
truly a genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing Composition as always.
+Ayur Bhatta Yes, indeed, by far my favorite track on this new E.P., it sounds very different to all other Steven Wilson's music, I loved it since the very first time I played it. This guy always has something awesome to please his fans.
+Rarity Sparkle True.
+Rarity Sparkle It kinda reminds me of a mixture of Stupid Dream era (Slave Called Shiver, particularly) and Deadwing era (Shallow, praticularly)
+Rawal Shadab Agree
+Rawal Shadab you called it!!!good comparing!!!
Such an amazing song! The live perfomance in Hamburg 4 days ago was one of my favorites
+Robin Boosmann It must have been great being able to see this masterpiece played live. I wish they play it here in mexico City when he gives his concert in march.
Beija Flor Nice to know it!! His concert here will be in march, I can't wait. 4 1/2 songs are very good.
+Rarity Sparkle I am going to be at that show in MEXICO.

se vio extremadamente mal verdad?
Another masterpiece, for a change.
Dark tune..... Amazing as USUAL.........................................
long awaited..good bass licks
Steven never ceases to amaze me.
+stisnat1 I get what you mean, he always create something entirely new, I mean, I would never have expected this to come from Steven Wilson, this song is quite odd for him, (that doesn't mean is not awesome) each one of his songs it's like hearing different musicians, but it's just one.
+Rarity Sparkle The thing with SW is...you never know what you're going to get! But it's always great.
mdlippus Yep
Qué pedazo de tema, es im-pre-sio-nan-te!!!
The main riff feels a lot like the main riff from blackest eyes
Steven Wilson tiene sus buenos momentos. Innegable
This track is killer and that bass tone is what's up!
Very porcupine tree. He said this track is an indicator for the direction of his next album .
He did? Didn't know that. That makes me happy.
Na... listen to his live Facebook Q&A, which you can access at stevenwilsonhq.com/sw/for-those-that-missed-it-steven-wilson-facebook-live-qa-session/
Yes, very much so.
1 year later, you can actually tell it was bullshit lol (just to say, I liked the new album anyway).
Prog on Steven!
Simply awesome
Should be a fucking Bond theme!
+Vipi Cascas Yes, but the movie would find it hard to live up to this standard!
Exactly! In this day and age of pretty crappy Bond films...
+Vipi Cascas On second listen, I think, if someone like Nolan did a fast paced-thriller ala Bourne.. this is just the sound that is required
excellent ideas!! spot on. do you think sw is present to those possibiltes?
I adore this
Fucking yeah!!!!Now this is what one lives for.
What a buildup. This is going to be my alarm tune for a few weeks.
+Ajay Viswanathan no ! plz don't do it ! you'll probably hate the song after that lol
+amaddah anas Nah, I wake up to Drown With Me every day. Still love it to this day. The only downside is I have to get up.
+Niels Simons Excellent song to wake up (Drown with me).
Reminds me very much of Uncle Moe's Space Ranch, Dennis Chambers, Gary Willis, Garsed+Helmerich. It's a beautiful thing.
dat bass
this is muh F***ing Jam
AWESOME TRACK ! Kind of reminds me of Absentia .
this is so crash bandicoot in some space level hahahab!!!! amazing groove !
Rock 2016
This gives me a dopamine rush!
Your Porcupine Tree persona is finally waking up again, Steven. Good news.
+stonerdemon much better than porcupine cock
+stonerdemon This may have been written back in the Porcupine days, like a lot of the songs on this album
Rupti Doolooroodoo
Let's just hope Steven surprises us with another PT album in the near future. In the meantime, I'll be enjoying his excellent solo records.
RIP Steven Wilson's last prog album
Craig Blundell, at his finest!! He is one funky drummer.
I arrived to heaven..
that cover looks like it was made somewhere in the early seventees.caravan comes to mind.promising.
Hahaha Just like Rarity Sparkle I too like metal and I too like My Little Pony Friendship is Magic.
Awesome !
Same here!
Why is there a picture of Gurthrie Govan with the Aristocrats?
Ah, Craig Blundell!!
fucking fun dude!!!!
🔝🔝🔝
Dónde puedo escucharlo DDD:???!
+Chito5MS Me parece que todas las canciones ya han sido subidas a UA-cam.
Why!? Why was this taken off the list of albums on Steven Wilson's website?
has a slight PT feel to it...reminds me SLIGHTLY of Tinto Brass,Sleep Together
Mind fucking!!!!
It's not better than Porcupine Tree's Tinto Brass. But its pretty good.
Call me crazy but I get a Rush vibe in some of the riffs
PT++++!!!!
rarity fucking sparkle
+Mayank Rangari Hi
hello :)
Tan Porcupine :(
banda sonora del ultimo juego de Sonic
sounds like buckethead styled ...

E' un fiore nel deserto della musica di oggi.
Ciao Sparkle..
Roberto Zao Sono d'accordo con te, ma solo voglio dire che questo é un E.P. con track che lui ha scritto mentre lavorava in altri progetti, può essere che per questo non sia cosí bravo come i suoi altri CD.

Who´s watching this in 1994?
Prog rave
Ok Steven.. 3 albums are enough! Now you need a really long break and then get back to PT and start make a great music like you used to!
+Martin Votava I agree.do the swansong with pt and then go solo for good..

Nothing to do with that, but I find this track very Porcupine-Treeish.
Sounds a bit like Adrian Belew.
