“Hand.Cannot.Erase. Is an album rooted in sonic & spiritual modernity… an inventive blend of bleak & brooding industrial soundscapes” ***** The Guardian

Steven Wilson, four-time Grammy nominee, multi-instrumentalist, producer & founder member of Porcupine Tree, released his critically acclaimed fourth solo album ‘Hand.Cannot.Erase.’ in 2015.

The album‘s commercial successes culminated in reaching #13 in the UK album charts, as well as #2 in the Netherlands, #3 in Germany, #4 in Finland, #10 in Poland, #11 in Norway & #12 in Austria. As well as a good reception from fans, ‘Hand.Cannot.Erase.’ was well supported in the press, with the Financial Times (UK) calling the album "richly textured & forceful... & tender treatments of the theme of loss", Classic Rock (UK) claiming it to be "A tour de force of experimental music making... 8/10" & Metal Hammer (DE) described it as "another masterstroke... 6/7."

Recorded at London’s illustrious Air Studios, Steven reunited Guthrie Govan (guitar), Adam Holzman (keyboards), Theo Travis (flute / sax), Nick Beggs (bass / stick) & Marco Minneman (drums).

This limited edition of ‘H.C.E.’ will be presented as a double LP with gatefold sleeve featuring artwork by long time Porcupine Tree & Steven Wilson artist & designer Carl Glover (in conjunction with images from Hajo Mueller & Lasse Hoile).
