2008 Update

Posted in Bass Communion, Continuum, no-man, Porcupine Tree, Solo by David Mytton on January 16, 2008

Having been on the road for almost the entirety of 2007, Steven is now busy in the studio working on 2 brand new albums. One of these is his first ever song based solo project, something which will reveal a darker musical side of SW not hitherto heard in any of his other projects. The solo album is a work in progress with no set release date, but material is coming thick and fast, so a release sometime towards the end of this year seems likely.

Also well underway and expected to be issued in May is the first album by No-Man in 5 years. It’s current working title is “Schoolyard Ghosts”. You can find more information on the no-man MySpace page.

Other new releases in the pipeline include the much delayed release of Bass Communion’s “Pacific Codex” box set, as well as a repress of the 2 CD version of “Ghosts on Magnetic Tape”, both in February. Meanwhile the 2008 edition of Porcupine Tree’s “Lightbulb Sun” album is expected in April as a CD/DVDA double disc set, and another new PT related release should be available from March on the band’s Transmission mail order imprint (details on the PT site soon).

Finally, due to demand Soleilmoon will press another 1,000 copies of the first album by Continuum, SW’s collaboration with Dirk Serries, bringing it up to par with the 2,000 copy edition of Continuum II. Scheduled for June release. Meanwhile after the first Continuum album was successfully reconstructed by Dirk himself on the Continuum Recyclings Volume One double LP, a highly talented and known musician from the experimental underground will recycle Continuum II for another double LP. More news on this soon – in the meantime check out the Continuum MySpace page for audio samples and updates.
