Four time Grammy nominee, Multi-instrumentalist, producer, Porcupine Tree-founding member Steven Wilson's  releases 2016’s interim Album ‘4 1/2’ on blu-ray audio.

 

The album opens with the shimmering guitar lines of ‘My Book Of Regrets’ and the upbeat ‘Happiness III’ followed by the eerie instrumentals of ‘Year Of The Plague’ and ‘Sunday Rain Sets In’. Later the record throws back to  heavier moments of Steven Wilson and recalling Porcupine Tree on the distortion led ‘Vermillioncore’ before rounding up with the introspective reimagining of ‘Don’t Hate Me’. A track that is a re-interpretation of the Porcupine Tree classic with Ninet Tayeb who featured on 'Hand. Cannot. Erase.' and 2018’s ‘To The Bone’.  

 

Produced and mixed by Steven Wilson, 4 1/2 features a stellar group of musicians contributing to the LP which include Adam Holzman (keyboards), Nick Beggs (bass), Guthrie Govan (guitar), Dave Kilminster (guitar), Marco Minnemann (drums), Chad Wackerman (drums), Craig Blundell (drums) and Theo Travis.  

Audio on the blu-ray is 5.1 Surround Sound and hi-res 96/24 stereo.

 

The artwork features photography by long time collaborator Lasse Hoile and designed by Carl Glover.
