Steven Wilson help

joneve

So I lost track of Steven Wilson's output after Deadwing (through no reason other than time). 

Can someone point me in the right direction of where I should start? Bearing in mind I love Deadwing and In Absentia (and Stupid Dream but lesser so), and loved his production work with Opeth.

I have Deadwing and In Absentia. I guess the Insurgentes, Grace for Drowning and The Raven that refused to sing are good places to start. Do you have access to Spotify?

I do. Not all of those appear to be on there

Fear of the Blank Planet followed up Deadwing and is really good.
After that it was The Incident which to be honest I rarely listen too.

There was a live album after that, and then he put PT on hold for his solo records.

There's been 5 solo albums, and The Raven that Refused to Sing...is the best of those and I'd certain recommend that. 
Hand.Cannot.Erase is quiet amazing as a concept album, and his latest To the Bone has a more commercial sound but really good songs.

Personally I like the earlier PT stuff, but if you weren't that keen on Stupid Dream maybe that's not for you.

Thanks for that.

Forgot about Fear of a Blank Planet! I enjoyed that too, but I'm not as familiar with it as I am their previous releases. 

I'll have to give it another spin or three. 

I don't think it's that I didn't like Stupid Dream, I just thought In Absentia was SO good, that when I discovered PT, I gravitated towards that a lot more and so it got more attention and therefore I'm more familiar with it.

They weren't there last time I looked (admittedly about a year ago probably)

FoaBP isn't there though
