Insurgentes CD Remastered

Das Solo-Debütalbum vom ehemaligen Porcupine Tree Mastermind Steven Wilson–Insurgentes kommt remastered.Gaststars sind u.a. Tony Levin & Gavin Harris (King Crimson)

A remastered edition of Steven Wilson’s debut solo album Insurgentes (2009) available as a double LP in gatefold on the Transmission label.

Comprising 10 tracks that range from ballads and anthems to all-out industrial noise assaults, the dark, cinematic and richly textured album represented two years worth of creative output and numerous recording sessions worldwide in studios from Mexico City to Japan and Israel.

While Wilson is a member of several bands including Blackfield, No-Man and Bass Communion, he explained, “When I began writing these songs, I quickly realised that they would be best suited to an album under my own name. It was an intuitive, almost unconscious writing process that resulted in a kind of ‘poetry of melancholy.”

Wilson recruited a stellar cast of guests to work on the album including bassist Tony Levin, drummer Gavin Harrison, and keyboardist Jordan Rudess, alongside Japanese Koto player Michiyo Yagi, British guitarist Sand Snowman, and jazz flautist and saxophonist Theo Travis.
