@TheGlassDot Yes on the second verse of Truenorth for example. And in a few of Porcupine Tree's song's. There is a song called It Will Rain for a Million Years on the remastered On the Sunday of life album. The "whine" permeates the entire frigging piece. Which is a shame because the song is very good. I just wish my ears wouldnt have to hurt so much.
I love this song! And Ben Colemann on violin! WOW! I really would love to see the video to "Sweetheart Raw" (if there is one!)! I love that song! Tim and his frizzy beautiful hair! YAY!
Does anyone have the video for no-man "only baby"?! i remember a short 10 second clip of it on the no-man site ages ago.. tim with long wind-swept hair rolling around.... embarrassing? but i still want to see it!
Yeah, many people would love to see it... There are only very short bits of it on the Returing documentary, but they did not add the full verison to the bonus material unfortunately.
It's amazing, the different songs that Wilson has been able to give a real meaning to. I realize that a lot of this was probably Bowness inspired. But, for example, Cover Version I (Thank U by Alanis Morissette). Steven Wilson dragged it out of it's own pathetic hole, totally transformed it, and made it beautiful.
It's an incredible and creative cover of an awful and boring folk song.
Would you care to share what you think is good? (since you seem to think that the date the song was created matters, I'd like to know what the true golden era of music was according to you and your incredible intellect and vocabulary)
@robs1642 It's simplistic. There's only ONE chord progression (there are several small substitutions, but overall it's the same). Why should the drums change if nothing else is?
Beautiful? This song never saw beauty till it was done by No Man. Donovan's voice is crude, harsh, and flat out annoying. Whereas Bowness has a smooth, soothing, and mellow voice that compliments the song wonderfully. No Man creates an image of many Colour in this song, while Donvan's creates a sense of one......gray.
If I ever meet Wilson Im going to ask him what the high pitched background noise im hearing in a few of his songs. Its bugging me to no end.

@PennyDreadful1 Yes... it seems to be something he catches with the vocals. You hear it quite a bit in the newer album too.
Video whine, maybe?
Really is annoying.

Wow...Tim really had some poofy hair back then!
Really good video...I could easily see this being a massive MTV hit in the early 90s. Why was it not? Hmm...corporate bullshit...

Actually it's 1990, and it's not gay.
It's an incredible and creative cover of an awful and boring folk song.
