The first half of tonight's show will feature Steven Wilson's new release.
From the Steven Wilson HQ: My fifth record is in many ways inspired by the hugely ambitious
progressive pop records that I loved in my youth (think Peter Gabriel’s
So, Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love, Talk Talk’s Colour of Spring and Tears
for Fears’ Seeds of Love).
Lyrically, the album’s eleven tracks veer from the paranoid
chaos of the current era in which truth can apparently be a flexible
notion, observations of the everyday lives of refugees, terrorists and
religious fundamentalists, and a welcome shot of some of the most joyous
wide-eyed escapism I’ve created in my career so far. Something for all
the family!”– Steven Wilson1. To The Bone (6.41)

The second half of tonight's show will feature a new, download-only release from Ian Boddy & Markus Reuter.
“Memento” (DiN52) was the fifth DiN CD collaboration between the musical duo of Ian Boddy & Markus Reuter. The bulk of the material was recorded by the two musicians at the private studio of Boddy in the North-East of England. As so often happens in these sessions more music was laid down than could be used in the final release. The tracks on “Memento” oscillated between the more up-tempo pieces such as the title track & the two glorious ambient soundscapes, “Linger” and the album closer “Stay”. On reflection Boddy & Reuter decided to record some further material in the style of the latter two tracks, use one of the unreleased pieces and to mix an extended version of “Stay”, to create a new work that would be a companion piece to “Memento”.
Thus “Stay” (DiNDDL19) contains six tracks that reflect and extend the languid mood of the quiet moments found on “Memento”. Each of the tracks uses a different musical mode that gives each a different flavour. The pieces are built on the foundation of one of Reuter’s looped touch guitar soundscapes with Boddy employing his analogue modular systems, ranging from the haunting Ondes Martenot like solo lines of the opener “Waken” to the growling menacing tones of his Serge modular in “Vesper”.
