Following the release of the acclaimed Fear of a Blank Planet album comes this mini album (29 minutes of music) containing four lengthy tracks written during the same sessions, completed over the Summer, and now presented as a cohesive self contained PT work in their own right. The title track is an instrumental featuring Robert Fripp on lead guitar, and the whole EP moves through the full PT spectrum of atmospheric ambience, melodic hooks, and crushing riffs.

This Peaceville edition of Nil Recurring contains the same material as the Transmission version, but comes packaged in a super jewel case with textured slipcase, instead of the fold out digipack.

A reissue of the original box set in a super jewel case. Steven Wilson has also taken the opportunity to substitute the tracks Fadeaway and Up the Downstair with the recently recorded definitive versions with live drums by Gavin Harrison.

The super jewel case version replaces the previously available digipack edition.

Now repressed as a double disc including the full length Andrew Liles reconstruction, which SW described as being "even creepier than the original!", this is the third full length album by SW's Bass Communion project and is a one hour work divided into 5 distinct sections. The album is inspired by alleged tape recordings of the dead communicating with the living world, paranormal research most famously practised by scientist Konstantine Raudive in the 1970's. This is a spectral and brooding album, rich with dark clouds of sound, beautiful textures, creepy drones and eerie crackling. It is housed in a beautiful Japanese style thick card gatefold mini LP sleeve. SW considers this to be one of the finest recordings he has ever made.

Variously described as 'lyrically sensitive and musically dynamic' and as being 'the final flesh on the acoustic bones of his previous releases', Shiver, John Wesley's fifth studio album, amply demonstrates how John's work has matured over the course of the last decade.

Mixed by Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson, Shiver's guitar-driven acoustic and electric songs draw from a diversity of inspirations including alternative, progressive, classic rock and folk styles. Perhaps the finest and most well-rounded release so far in John's impressive career.

Cover Version is a 2 track CD single of SW in unplugged mode, using mainly acoustic guitar, piano, organ and voice to create these two beautiful works.

Please note that this item is now housed in a plastic wallet, not a jewel case.

Deluxe 180 gram heavyweight double vinyl edition of the second Bass Communion album, with exclusive music on Side 4. The second BC album was issued in 1999 in a stunning Carl Glover cover design, now in all it's glory as a beautiful gatefold sleeve. The music collects the six tracks from the original 1999 CD release, plus exclusive bonus tracks Wide Open Killingfeld parts 2 and 3. This first edition of 500 numbered copies is pressed on white vinyl.

Early in 2007, Ex-Wise Heads were approached to record an exclusive vinyl album for the Dutch experimental label, "C".

The resulting album, "Celestial Disclosure", comprises two flowing pieces - one piece per LP side - which blend ambient, minimalist and electronic influences, and feature Edwin's trademark deep bass and Leigh's exploratory flute and sax solos.

Unmistakably Ex-Wise Heads, yet possessing a more intense, almost devotional and spiritual atmosphere, than previous releases, "Celestial Disclosure lays claim to being the most inventive and personal Ex-Wise Heads release to date.

Filmed at the Bowery Ballroom in a snowbound New York earlier this year, this is Blackfield's first DVD and includes the full performance of 18 songs. The audio was recorded and mixed by SW into stereo and 5.1 surround sound, and the film was edited by Lasse Hoile. Also includes the promo videos for the three singles from the debut album.

With their fourth album Liquid Assets, Ex-Wise Heads mainstays Colin Edwin and Geoff Leigh create a subtle blend of timeless and contemporary sounds.

A focused development of the band's unique approach, Liquid Assets intelligently blends ambient atmospheres with elemental rhythmic structures, striking solos, and refreshingly unusual instrumental combinations, all underpinned by Edwin's trademark powerful, deep, basslines.

'Drop' is the first fruit of Porcupine Tree drummer Gavin Harrison’s collaboration with singer and Extended Range Bass player 05Ric, and features contributions from Robert Fripp, Dave Stewart and Gary Sanctuary. Nine carefully crafted songs combined with ground-breaking multi-layered guitars, vocal harmonies and rhythms.
