Steven Wilson – Discography (2009-2015)

Steven Wilson - Discography (2009-2015)

Thanks to a prolific work ethic that puts even Damon Albarn’s extensive list of side projects to shame, self-taught producer, engineer, and multi-instrumentalist Steven Wilson has gradually become one of the U.K.’s most critically acclaimed cult artists.

Parsons subsequently worked with Paul McCartney on several of Wings’ earliest albums; he also oversaw recordings from Al Stewart, Cockney Rebel, and Pilot, but solidified his reputation by working on Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon Continue reading “Alan Parsons – Studio, Live & Compilation Albums (1993 – 2010)”

The end result was a solo album, The Flower King, which struck such a resounding chord with a small but growing number of prog fans around the planet. It also proved to be one of a handful of albums that helped to kick-start and underpin a worldwide resurgence for adventurous, symphonic rock music that is still gaining momentum over two decades later.
