PolarizeMe Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Probably. It also could've been a part of the actual song itself. There's an good reason why Steven didn't included this in the final album. I remembered seeing The Birthday Party as one of the stories included in the deluxe edition but was puzzled by the fact that it didn't get its own song (but Clock Song made it onto the demo CD without having a story itself!). I'm glad that it actually does exist and that he released it. Those 3 minutes fly by quicker each listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 The Birthday Party is great, but I agree - it wouldn't have really fit on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 According to tonight's setlist, there was another new song. It's called "Break It (And It's Yours)" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union 5-3992 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I'm hoping for someone to record something with their phone soon to give us a sneak peak at these songs. Likely at Royal Albert Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony R Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) The new songs played were actually the same song, which Wilson described as a work in progress as yet untitled. I was at the show in Newcastle last night and the new song sounded fantastic. Wilson asked the audience not to record the track or upload any video of it to YouTube.

Few accounts say that the new song sounded like a mix between Insurgentes and PT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony R Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 It definitely had echoes of PT, very punchy and dynamic. Could be a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willowroolz Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Went to the Royal Albert Hall concert last night. It was stunning. 'Index', which I never really liked before, was amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolarizeMe Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Ouch! Even when Steven Wilson clearly request that the fans to not upload a bootleg of the new song, they do it anyway! Not that I'm condemning the person who did upload that video, but I'd personally would have kept it to myself out of respect for Mr. Wilson's request because I like the guy and I like his music. Anyway, that new song does indeed have shades of PT in it, but I think it's the most "fresh" sounding material he's done regardless of what project it is.

I wonder what direction solo album #4 will take cause it does seem "modern" sounding with a hint of some PT going on in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cygnify Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I wonder if Minnemann will rejoin the band to record next year or is Chad W. the drummer for the project? Chad is certainly capable, but I prefer something about Minnemann's personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony R Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I was reading an interview with Guthrie Govan in Guitarist magazine and he basically says that he is a committed member of The Steven Wilson Band and naturally is engaged with the new album due for release next year. Cryptically he adds that he "doesn't know if he's allowed to give this information out". Suggests to me that the Steven Wilson Band is a "permanent" entity and PT is done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarizeMe Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I shouldn't be surprised that Guthrie's remaining on board the Steven Wilson band, but it does come as a bit of a shock that solo album #4 will be out by next year. I won't be that sad if this spells the end of PT to be honest, because at this point I consider myself a Steven Wilson fan which includes all the projects he's been a part of, but I just wish Steven would just come out and admit that PT's over for good if he's not interested in working under that project anymore instead of leaving the idea for a reformation in the air. I know there will be a bunch of people who'll stop following his music if that happens, but I'm not one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Now that King Crimson has reformed with Gavin Harrison and there are plans for a fourth SW solo album, I wouldn't be surprised if we never see another PT album. I didn't listen to the new song, but if the descriptions are accurate then I'm perfectly okay with more SW solo releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind if PT is gone for good either, but I don't think that is the case. They all left on good terms so it would be easy for them to get together again. Steven and the other members are all happy pursuing other projects at the moment. The fact that he hasn't declared PT dead and gone shows that he is open to working with them again later on.

cygnify Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 For me PT was always Steven Wilson with some stellar drummers (particularly Gavin.) Colin never had much personality on the bass IMHO, and although Richard creates some awesome soundscapes, I always felt he was under the direction of SW. My third favorite member of PT was not even a "real member" - Wes (who is awesome live!!) I suspect PT will do something again one day, but if you try to look at it from Steven's perspective - why? He does what he wants with his own great band. He is not after "fame" or bigger sales. He is an artist and he does exactly what he wants with his band. Regarding his band, I hope that he keeps Marco in the loop! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 According to a post on another forum, Gavin said at a recent clinic that he talks to SW regularly and PT is not over. So I take back my comment from earlier today...I guess it's pretty likely that we'll eventually see more from the band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdFireYYZ Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I doubt Minnemann will be busy with LMR for a year, as that's a side project that probably won't tour much if they even decide to play live. If he isn't able to commit to SW's band, it'll probably be because he'd be touring with someone like Joe Satriani or playing with The Aristocrats. While I'd like MM to stay with the Steven Wilson band, I'd be happy with either Wackerman or Harrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
