Steven Wilson

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.

The latest album by SW's ambient / drone project Bass Communion is a 2 disc set containing both stereo CD and 5.1 / high resolution stereo DVDA. Packaged in a beautiful thick card gatefold sleeve, with an additional 8 page booklet. A dark and spectral 40 minute work.

180 gram heavyweight double vinyl edition of this acclaimed dark and brooding SW solo recording. Black vinyl, housed in a lavish gatefold sleeve. Also includes a previously unavailable 16-minute piece on Side 4.

Bass Communion is the name SW gives to recordings he has been making since 1994 in an ambient and/or electronic vein. Most of the pieces are experiments in texture and are generated from processing recordings of real instrumental performances. This is the first CD from 1998 including a 25 minute piece based on Robert Fripp's soundscapes.

Please note that this is an ep with different material from the CD of the same title that was released the previous year.
