The live Gruno "Guilty Pleasures" radio show last night, was a pleasure to finally get to hear the new Kevin Gilbert material.

I want it now, more than ever. Likely a few weeks from now, it'll finally be up for purchase on popplusone.com . Production-wise among other things, has me the most overjoyed to experience. And certainly, among the rest, "The Tired Old Man" remains my most cherished new track on them thus far. Such a stellar composition. I bet a lot of people will be talking about that one once they get to hear it.

Orphaned Land's long-awaited/anticipated and Steven Wilson-mixed record "The Neverending Way of ORwarriOR" has been pushed back again, until Christmas 2009/January 2010.

Surprised? no....put it out the best way possible. I want it asap, but I understand the delay. Perhaps getting to chat with them at ProgPowerUSA in a few weeks will add more to my feelings about it. Hearing some of it live too, etc.

and also invilving Steven Wilson, having heard a subpar leak of the new Porcupine Tree cd "The Incident" disc 1 thus far, I like some of the parts, and some of it I'm not so sure about..namely a large chunk of "Time Flies" in fact.

It requires a lot more time, but perhaps they have come to the point where they continue to include an EP's worth of really good stuff, and the rest?..not so much. Maybe it'll grow and maybe the cohesiveness of all 55minutes will help it out over time. But I'm not expecting it to a huge amount at this point.
