Product Description

CD Description

The debut studio album from writer, producer & Porcupine Tree founder & member, Steve Wilson.

Comprising 10 new tracks that range from ballads and anthems to all-out industrial noise assaults, the dark, cinematic, and richly textured disc represents two years' worth of creative output and numerous recording sessions worldwide in studios from Mexico City to Japan and Israel.

Wilson has recruited a stellar cast of guests to work on the album including bassist Tony Levin, Porcupine Tree drummer Gavin Harrison, and keyboardist Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater), alongside Japanese Koto player Michiyo Yagi, British guitarist Sand Snowman, and jazz flautist and saxophonist Theo Travis.

The bonus DVD material consists of:
1 - For DVD-Audio players only: Advanced Resolution 5.1 sounds of Insurgentes (24/48 resolution) / Advanced Resolution stereo of Insurgentes (24/48 resolution)
2 - For DVD-Audio & DVD-Video players: DTS 5.1 sound of Insurgentes (24/48 resolution) / 24-bit stereo LPCM of Insurgentes (24/48 resolution).

18 minute extract from the forthcoming documentary of Insurgentes - Trailer #1 & Insurgentes Trailer #2.



From the Artist

While Wilson is a member of several bands, including Blackfield, No-Man, and Bass Communion, he explains that "when I began writing these songs, I quickly realized that they would be best suited to an album under my own name. It was an intuitive, almost unconscious writing process that resulted in a kind of `poetry of melancholy."

5.0 out of 5 stars Steven Wilson what more do you need to know ?, 2 Jan 2009
By Fletch-a-sketch "Fletch" (Wiltshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This is the commercial release of the deluxe album Steven Wilson released at then end of 2008.
The albums is a CD and DVDA package as has become the custom with his releases recently. The music is dark absorbing and at times intense. The music is played by a host of Steven Wilson regulars and as you come to expect from Any Steven Wilson project the playing is tight and punchy. My favourite songs on the album are
'Harmony Korine', 'Abandoner', the epic 'No Twilight Within the Courts of the Sun', and the title track ' Insurgentes'.
The DVD contains a 48/24 5.1 MLP (DVDA) track for playing on a DVDA player and DTS 5.1 track for ordinary DVD players as well as stereo tracks for those who don't line surround music.
The surround mix itself is pretty spectacular not active but discrete and involving, without distracting the listener.

I still don't know how Steven Wilson finds the time to make music as good as he does as part of his many groups and this album contains hints of Blackfield, Porcupine Tree, No-Man Bass Communion.
Great album, plenty of what Steven Wilson does best only this time in his own name.

Highly recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark, disturbing, utterly enthralling, 17 Feb 2009
By D. Berkeley "sirdanthethird" (Wigton, Cumbria) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This solo release from the frontman of Porcupine Tree is everything you could expect and more. Unsettling and introspective, it's bleak soundscapes ooze out of your speakers and immerse you in Steven Wilson's dark world. It is a good place to be. From the first dischordant notes of 'Harmony Korine', through the throbbing dronework of 'Abandoner' to the final brooding notes of the title track this album is a coherent work of pure dark beauty.

It is as you can imagine from these descriptions not an especially heavy album, in fact it is much quieter than Steve Wilson's recent releases with Porcupine Tree. That is not to say that it doesn't occasionally have its moments of metal glory however; Gavin Harrison, Porcupine Tree's remarkable drummer joins his bandmate on most of the tracks and whilst he mainly provides a backing beat rather than taking centre stage, he does manage to pound out some double bass on 'No Twilight Within the Courts of the Sun' to rock up proceedings somewhat.

It is hard to pick standout tracks as the album is especially involving when listened to as a whole. Yet if pushed I would say that after the five or so listens I have given it, the best three tracks are:'Harmony Korine', 'Venemo Para Las Hadas', and 'Insurgentes'. Oh, but then I miss out, 'No Twilight Within the Courts of the Sun', and 'Get all you deserve'. In truth there is not a bad track on the album. At present I am restricted in that as the album has not yet had its physical release, I am relying only upon the free download of the album offered by Headphone Dust (SW own label) when you preorder the album from their website. I feel it will become even better when the actual CD and DVD-A arrive in the post and I get to listen in full 5.1 surround mix, a format Steve Wilson was nominated for a Grammy in last year for his work with Porcupine Tree, such is his consummate skill as a producer as well as a musician.

I would heartily recommend this album to any fan of Porcupine Tree, or any other of Steve Wilson's many side projects. It is like all of of his music in so many different bands, from the first note, unmistakably Steve Wilson. If you have not listened to any of his work before take the plunge and enter his dark world, possibly with this album, possibly with In Absentia by his main band: Porcupine Tree. But beware, once you start listening to him you will buy everything he has ever produced. It is inevitable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Already a contender for album of the year, 23 Jan 2009
I bought the limited edition version of this album in November, on the strength of being a big Porcupine Tree fan. I was not disappointed. I agree with nearly everything Fletch has said in his review, the only things I would add are that "Salvaging" and "Only Child" should be added to his list of stand out tracks. I would rate this album as Wilson's best work since Porcupine Tree's "In Abstentia", and I would say it is easily among the top 5 albums released this decade. Anyone who like Porcupine Tree, modern prog music, or wonderfully textured production should buy this album you won't regret it.
