never really got into porcupine tree but his solo stuff rules (maybe in part because of all the classixxx remixing?), especially the raven . . .

Steven Wilson S/D (Porcupine Tree, No-Man, Blackfield, the mixing desk, etc.)

Probably not the place but he's just completed remixes for a box set of Tangerine Dream's Virgin stuff.

such a master of sonics. such a shit songwriter

I don't agree with that actually, if only on the evidence of Hand Cannot Erase, which gets my easy vote

HCE is my pick as well, I think it's an almost perfect album. Raven a close runner up. Wouldn't be able to rank the other three, I like them all equally for different reasons. I think is solo work is largely leagues beyond the PTree work honestly. Ptree could be great but wildly inconsistent and his lyrics at times with that band were just dumb.

I wasn't taken with To The Bone at all, it was far too 80s art pop influenced for my liking. But the run from Insurgentes to HCE is stellar, with Raven just getting my vote over HCE. Agree that his solo work tops the PT stuff.

i probably should've included the talk talk thing he did with the opeth dude

but then there's no-man, too, and bass communion, and drawing the line where given how productive he's been
