Thank you… it’s all a bit confusing at the moment! Enjoy Porcupine Tree… I’ve become a bit addicted to them and also Sten Wilson’s solo work…

His first couple of albums in Blackfield (handily title Blackfield and, er, Blackfield 2) are also very decent IMO

It’s a compilation all the stuff was already released on other albums. Old Neil doesn’t miss a trick.

While I appreciate what you’re saying, and agree to a large extent, was this not a shelved project from way back, and then released properly this year.?

As I’ve posted elsewhere, I got to know Steve Winwood rather well, as I acted for him (in my former guise as a lawyer) when his manager became confused as to the ownership of monies which he was supposed to be investing on Steve’s behalf!

In case anyone thinks that I’m name-dropping, he is the only person whom I know who played on ‘Electric Ladyland’.

He was a perfect gentleman, always dressed in a variety of tweed jackets, jeans and shirt, usually with a shoelace-type tie.
