Colin Edwin-PVZ 2012

Alt proiect al unui membru Porcupine Tree, bassistul Colin Edwin, al doilea lui album solo. Sursa de inspiratie a fost, din cate inteleg, volumul “Opium and Other Stories”, al scriitorului maghiar Geza Csath, aparut in anii '20 ai secolului trecut. Albumul e unul de disecat, nu spune tot la prima auditie, zic eu. Ce e sigur e ca bass-ul lui Edwin suna, ca de obicei, bine de tot.

Songs:

1 Opium

2 Filled With Colour

3 Endless Ascent

4 Arms of Sunlight

5 Interlude

6 A Dream Forgotten

7 The Surgeon

8 Vicious Circles

9 Empty Yourself

10 Frozen Hours

11 The Final Scene

Mai jos, o piesa de pe albumul de debut al lui Colin Edwin.
