Steven Wilson albums ranked & reviewed by emptysquares 
Its hard enough to make yourself a career in music without allying yourself to the most demonised genre in music history - progressive rock!! But that exactly what Steven Wilson did, firstly with his (initially spoof) band Porcupine Tree before moving on to a string of high-quality solo albums. Despite a prolific production rate that would put many of his idols from the 60s & 70s to shame, the quality he has managed to maintain over a 30 year period has been astonishing. His skills as a writer, performer and crucially, a producer means that despite frequently changing both style and collaborators, somehow he seems incapable of producing a bad album.

With Wilsons breakthrough band Porcupine Tree still very much active, the obvious question regarding this debut solo effort was, as he wrote most of the PT stuff anyway - how would this be different? The answer lied primarily in Wilsons eclectic musical influences and never a man to hide his influences, on 'Insurgentes' we heard vibes similar to My Bloody Valentine and the Cure as well as various electronica - but still combined with his trademark prog/pop style. This was certainly one of Wilsons darkest efforts and in my opinion, one of his best. Sure, its long and asks a lot from the listener but I found numbers like 'Salvaging' and 'Harmony Korin' pretty immersive and I loved the jazzy-prog-metal 'No Twilight Within the Courts of the Sun'.
