Steven Wilson’s supremely ambitious third album, ‘The Raven That Refused To Sing (And Other Stories)’, consists of 6 remarkable songs (3 of which are over 10 minutes long). His band at the time included some of the world’s most respected musicians (guitarist Guthrie Govan, bassist Nick Beggs, drummer Marco Minnemann, saxophonist/flautist Theo Travis and keyboard player Adam Holzman), and took Steven’s music into new and unexpected directions. The album was recorded and engineered in Los Angeles by legendary producer/engineer Alan Parsons.
“Based on a series of self-penned ghost stories in the tradition of Edgar Allen Poe and Arthur Machen, The Raven That Refused to Sing explodes into life with a stripped-down art-rock thud before morphing seamlessly into all manner of wildly evocative soundscapes, melodic crescendos and mellotron-drenched fever dreams. Honed to peak fitness by recent touring, Wilson’s band whip up an electrifying storm of amorphous vitality, their grasp of light and shade ensuring that something as elaborate and adventurous as The Watchmaker never loses focus or fire. Concluding with the eerie grace of the title track, this album shows Wilson to be one of modern rock’s most cunning and soulful protagonists.” – The Guardian
