Hi Paul – did you get my comment re the new StevenWilson GG? It was held for moderation due to the links. I wanted to let you and others know, but did not know where to put it other than a latest post, as your invited direct contacts are for reviews and journalists etc. Just let me know if this is not your preferred thing. :)
This isn’t about this box set, so forgive me. I’m keen to mention to others dropping in about the Steven Wilson 5.1 of Gentle Giant’s Power and The Glory on preorder, which I only found out about yesterday. Crikey that guy works hard, no wonder he didn’t have time to create a new No-Man album ( though the Tim Bowness solo is still excellent).
Here are the links:
Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Power-Glory-Steven-Wilson/dp/B00KKXKQ8S/ref=pd_rhf_se_p_t_2_M2QR
Steven Wilson store: http://stevenwilsonhq.com/sw/headphonedust/gentle-giant-the-power-and-the-glory-sw-remix-blu-raycd/

Wow, that’s a whole lotta soul for your money. Thanks for the heads-up ;-)
Staggeringly good value! Ordered. Skin I’m In is an amazing album.
