VARIOUS / STEVEN WILSON PRESENTS – Intrigue – Progressive Sounds In UK Alternative Music 197989 (w/ SIGNED Print) – 7LP – Vinyl Box Set

7LP- Limited Edition 140g Black Vinyl Box Set with Print SIGNED by Steve Wilson. Features 58 tracks and 40-page booklet featuring an introduction by Steven Wilson, and extensive track-by-track liner notes by James Nice. Mastered by Phil Kinrade at AIR Mastering and pressed at Pallas.

This is my personally-curated attempt to redress the balance, and to perhaps introduce any 80s-sceptics out there to the idea that conceptual thinking and ambition didnt suddenly evaporate after 77… ambitious, weird and thrilling music was all around you in the 80s if you looked in the right places.
Steven Wilson
