I have listened to and been around some extremely talented musicians. Although,I just recently became aware of this band, they are without a doubt, the best I have heard in many years. It was suggested to me to purchase their earlier music. So, I got "Sky moves Sideways" and "Signify" and will for sure be getting more. Now my impression, if this is true I read an interview with Steven Wilson where he said,"I have never read or do I now read music" 2-"I never pick up an instrument to play unless I'm recording" and 3- "My manager tells me what notes and chords I'm playing." Wilson is so good that it seems unbelievable to me. This dude is the most talented musician I have come across in years. Absolutely multi-talented, he plays the guitar,mellotron,flute(is there something I missed)he produces and is an excellent songwriter. Not to forget, all the dudes in this band are incredible. I am in complete awe of this group of musicians. If you are a PT fan how could you not give "Signify" 5 stars. By the way,"Sky moves Sideways" (digipack) is worthy of 10 stars. Thanks Amazon for helping me discover this band. Peace.
