Steven Wilson - 4 1/2 [LP] Four time Grammy nominee, Multi-instrumentalist, producer, Porcupine Tree founding member Steven Wilson releases 2016's Interim Album '4 1/2' for the first time on Transmission. The album opens with the shimmering guitar lines of 'My Book Of Regrets' & the upbeat 'Happiness III' followed by the eerie instrumentals of 'Year Of The Plague' & 'Sunday Rain Sets In'. Later the record throws back to heavier moments of Steven Wilson & recalling Porcupine Tree on the distortion led 'Vermillioncore' before rounding up with the introspective reimagining of 'Don't Hate Me'. A track that is a re-interpretation of the Porcupine Tree classic with Ninet Tayeb who featured on 'Hand. Cannot. Erase.' & 2018's 'To The Bone'. Produced & mixed by Steven Wilson, '4 ½' features a stellar group of musicians contributing to the LP which include Adam Holzman (keyboards), Nick Beggs (bass), Guthrie Govan (guitar), Dave Kilminster (guitar), Marco Minnemann (drums), C
