DISQUS

Mr. Wilson is a rare bird in today's international music community! His genius in composition and recording is inspiring. His unwillingness to compromise his music and perservere in the cut throat music business of today is a character lesson for us all. Thank you, for bringing us this insightful interview!!

Steven jest OK, tylko szkoda, że po ostatnim krakowskim koncercie nie dał mi autografu :-(

I'm very happy to see Steven Wilson getting the coverage and recognition that his talent and passion deserves. Not since David Gilmour has another musician inspired me so much. I wonder how long it will be before guitar magazines such as Guitar World and Guitar Player do a cover feature on him? In my opinion, it's long overdue.

Excellent write-up. Steven Wilson deserves to make your cover. He has inspired me for years now and has re-kindled in me the reasons I fell in love with music (and especially "progressive" music).... the art of it. He has found a sort of freedom in his projects few musicians dare to explore, ....due to their fear of failure?.... lack of confidence? ..... Steven has it all in spades. I suggest you go and discover his disc-o-graphy, it will blow your mind.

steve wilson is the david gilmour of his time. how this band is not playing in front of 20,000 people is astonishing. maybe it's the rap, hip-hop or alternative drivil of today. go out and buy In Abstensia and Deadwing, incredible rock at it's finest.

To really understand the genius of Steven Wilson, listen to the last few records he's delivered. In addition to Insurgentes, listen to Fear of a blank planet (Porcupine Tree), the Blackfield records (I and II) and Schoolyard Ghosts (No-man). On top of the fantastic writing and performing, the pure musicianship shines through. However as both a hi-def fan, and an iPod fan, the best part of these records is the DVD-A versions (not available on the Blackfield records yet - Steven, note!). Played on a good surround sound system, these make me shiver. The placement of Tim Bowness' vocals on the No-man record is pure genius.
I can't wait for Steven's remixes of the King Crimson records. Come on Steven, keep the hi-def flag flying high.

Very interesting ! Brings a new light to the record I've been listening to for a few weeks now. Helps me understand more how it was thought and made. The video and audio clips add a lot. Great interview !

Wonderfulin depth inyerview. The video clips are a niv=ce addition. Wiilson gives me hope that great music will continue, perhaps on a smaller scale, but it will survive. I hope great album art will as well.

What's with all the dark stuff, this guy is a real turn-off! Do interviews of people who are positive artists please. Enough of this music for sad rich kids.

Thanks for the excellent interview! I especially liked the MM inclusions, which added a lot of dimension and insight to this well crafted work. Insurgentes is such an amazing album, and I appreciate your taking so much effort to shine a clear light on it.
