The Autumn Stone 
Compilation
"When Steve Marriott in late 1968 decided to leave the Small Faces and the group subsequently disbanded, they had already begun recordings for the successor to their legendary masterpiece "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake".

"This collaboration between Steven Wilson and Mikael Akerfeldt is everything I'd hoped it would be. It's elegant, playful, mysterious and odd. It's like an enchanted book of grim folk tales come to life. Pagans dance around you crushing frogs and serpents underfoot while a purple miasma hangs over..."  [+]  Reply

"This album will probably go down as 2017's most overlooked album. This album is superb. This album digs so much deeper than what you would originally think, given the subject matter. It's funny, original and will be nostalgic for some. Will definitely be in my top three albums of the year. LISTEN..."  [+]  Reply

"I’m a huge fan of this duo and here they tone back the Psychocandy blast of 2007’s ‘Lust Lust Lust’ for a more familiar mellow pop feel, personally I prefer the ear splitting reverb of the former but none the less this is another excellent album from Denmarks best"  Reply
