EPISODE THIRTY EIGHT (May 1st 2013)
Nosound
This time, we concentrate on the new album from Nosound: Afterthoughts.
Nosound’s creative fulcrum Giancarlo Erra has been not only writing and arranging his best music so far: but has also been busy recruiting. Porcupine Tree fans will be interested to hear Chris Maitland on drums on this new Nosound album.
You’ll hear Billy Reeves’s interviews with both: Chris talks us through his love of glam rock, how to make half-time grooves sound faster, and how to smuggle double bass-drums into the orchestra pit of London’s biggest west end musicals, and Giancarlo takes us on a journey to Rome and back and explains how to find beauty in sadness, and sadness in beauty.
PLUS! A preview from Bruce Soord (The Pineapple Thief) with Jonas Renkse (Katatonia)’s Wisdom of Crowds album. www.kscopemusic.com/wisdomofcrowds

EPISODE THIRTY (September 5th 2012)
Bruce from The Pineapple Thief discusses new album ‘All the Wars’
Bruce Soord is The Pineapple Thief’s songwriter, guitarist and studio auteur so he’s lived with this album a long time – from writing through the demo process to the sudden jump to Peter Gabriel’s studio and orchestral additions in Prague. Time for some reflection then with your genial host Billy Reeves, who caught up with Bruce as the band gear up for touring. As The Pineapple Thief get bigger and more ambitious with their music away from the cocoon of their own studio we wondered if this would bring a different set of challenges for the band; not a bit of it. This is a glorious record, TPT are bound for glory…

EPISODE TWENTY SEVEN (June 1st 2012)
An Ulver special
Hi, welcome back to Kscope the Post-progressive Podcast. Episode 27.
Early pioneers of Norwegian black metal, Ulver have continually evolved throughout their career, they’re living legends of the dark music industry, blending rock, electronica, symphonic and chamber traditions. They’ve always done exactly what they want to do.
Last year Kscope released the beautiful Wars of the Roses album, now, Childhood’s End, a collection of classic psychedelic and garage rock covers; unique versions of tunes by the likes The 13th Floor Elevators, Jefferson Airplane, The Pretty Things and many obscure ones too.
In a rare interview Kris discusses the reasons for doing the album, why they feel they’re “ambassadors” for these kinds of psyche records, the band’s adventures on tour. He now sees Ulver ”on the periphery of metal”…

EPISODE TWENTY ONE (November 25th 2011)
The ‘Night at the Union Chapel’ special
Recently, Kscope hosted a very special concert at The Union Chapel in north London; arguably London’s nicest venue. It’s a working church, built in the Victorian gothic revival style in the 1870s, it’s also a centre for the arts. It’s unspoiled inside, the audience sit in pews, it’s gorgeous. We invited four of the Kscope family to perform unique versions of some of their repertoire: you’ll hear tunes from Nosound, Engineers, Bruce Soord from The Pineapple Thief (with Alx Leeks) and Anathema. PLUS pre-show, backstage and aftershow interviews with all the artistes as we were (very kindly) allowed to go running around with a microphone.
What a night! A packed house from all over the world (you’ll hear from some of the audience too). If you were there, re-live it here. If you weren’t let’s take you there…

EPISODE NINETEEN (August 30th 2011)
Daniel Cavanagh from Anathema (at the Kscope Piano) discussing Falling Deeper
In this edition, Daniel Cavanagh from Anathema sits and plays the Kscope piano. He’s here to talk about about Falling Deeper, their stunning new album; and to reminisce about how the tunes were formed in their infancy.
The album is out now (order now from www.burningshed.com for your LP or CD). Falling Deeper continues where the acclaimed 2008 album Hindsight left off. The album features brand new arrangements of songs with a 26 piece string ensemble; which we reckon successfully brings to life the very essence from the melodies – the beautiful melancholia from Anathema’s earliest days as pioneers of heavy music.

EPISODE SEVENTEEN (July 1st 2011)
The Bruce Soord interview in Poland
Good morning, good afternoon or good evening; wherever you may be. Billy Reeves here; ergo, time for the latest instalment of Kscope, The Post-Progressive Podcast.
The Pineapple Thief have had a great couple of years: the most recent Kscope LP Someone Here is Missing (and plenty of key shows) have placed their bittersweet progressive-metal and awesome choruses into many more folks’ auditory cortexes. It’s been a decade of good work from the Yeovil boys; time therefore we thought to revisit the classic 10 Stories Down album, which is now out, remastered (and presented as a double CD with the 8 Days Later album as it was back in ’05).
Bruce Soord from The Pineapple Thief therefore is our special guest, some musings from the tour bus on the long drive west back from playing with Blackfield and Riverside in Europe. It’s festival season as I write, so as Bruce grew up only a few miles from the site of the UK’s biggest festival, Glastonbury, we get a few memories of how ‘Glasto’ has changed.
PLUS there’s some exciting news of new Steven Wilson and Anathema releases contained herein…
Podcast content:
Steven Wilson – Only Child (taken from Insurgentes)
The Pineapple Thief – Wretched Soul (taken from 10 Stories Down)

EPISODE SIXTEEN (May 31st 2011)
Giancarlo Erra discusses the new Nosound project, ‘A Northern Religion of Things’
Good morning, good afternoon or good evening; wherever you may be. Billy Reeves here; ergo, time for the latest instalment of Kscope, The Post Progressive Podcast.
Giancarlo Erra from Nosound is our very special guest. The new release is entitled A Northern Religion of Things – an album recorded during the rehearsal process for the special solo gig Giancarlo performed last year. Giancarlo tells us how and why. BEAUTIFUL.
Engineers release a new 7-track EP on Kscope on June 13th, lead by To An Evergreen, one of the highlights from their greatly acclaimed In Praise of More LP which came out late last year. So here’s Portland studio boffins Helios with their folktronic take on What It’s Worth. HAUNTING.
And as our chums The Pineapple Thief have been touring with Riverside: an excuse to revisit some of Mariusz Duda from Riverside’s solo work, a cracker from Lunatic Soul (from Lunatic Soul II). There’s going to be some new LS material soon, we’re told, watch this space!

Thus you’ll hear the thoughts of Steven on the inception of the movie and the smashing of his iPods in conversation with your host, Billy Reeves.
PLUS Engineers have a new LP coming out hot on the heels of Three Fact Fader – an album that picked up reviews rammed with superlatives from both the music press and the quality press – and it seems they’ve really enjoyed themselves making this new one, In Praise of More. Billy speaks to Mark and Ulrich from the band on a rainy afternoon in east London, and you’ll hear a couple of barnstormers from the LP and how to download the single for free….
AND as a little taster of next month’s Podcast: a spin of Circles: the title track from the LP from Porcupine Tree’s Gavin Harrison which is getting a proper release via Kscope in the near future. It’s amazing!

Ciao bella – It’s a happening scene, it’s Kscope - the Post-progressive Podcast with Giancarlo Erra from NoSound.
We’re excited to be releasing the NoSound debut LP Sol29 (originally released in 2005) as a CD/DVD double. A rare interview with Giancarlo is in order therefore, to discover what’s different for him and the band 5 years on, to explore his relationship with NoSound’s most recent album (the painfully personal and melancholy A Sense of Loss) and how he writes lyrics in his second language.
PLUS! Talking of rare early outings – Porcupine Tree are making Recordings (their curio cabinet of precious memories) available as a sumptuous re-release shortly so you’ll hear a track from that: also genial host Billy Reeves allows Giancarlo to pick a tune from the Kscope family – and ahead of an announcement of the eagerly awaited Engineers LP you’re reminded of their skill with an arpeggio.

Here at Kscope as you may have noticed we’re very keen on the visuals as well as the music. One of our top chums helping us present our art to you is the wonderful Carl Glover, and it is he Billy Reeves speaks with in this edition of Kscope – The Post Progressive Podcast. The themes and collaboration behind the recent Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson & No-Man LPs and DVDs is discussed, as well as Carl’s all-time favourite album sleeve. We’re not looking back to a golden age of album art here at Kscope, we’re looking forward.
And, to accompany the visuals, some Kscope tunes; including Twilight Coda from Insurgentes (Steven Wilson’s documentary/road movie/LP/mini-manifesto which is out on DVD via Kscope real soon). PLUS some Porcupine Tree, some No-Man, some Anekdoten and Nosound – including news of the next Nosound release. It’s all sounding good: and looking good too, baby.

Welcome back to Kscope – The Post-Progressive Podcast: in which the venerable rock critic Jerry Ewing (Editor of Classic Rock presents Prog) claims Prog is not a four-letter word, and your genial host Billy Reeves speaks to the lovely Bruce Soord from the wonderful The Pineapple Thief (a man who knows his arpeggios from his elbow) about (a) the terrific Pineapple Thief LP Someone Here is Missing, and (b) how the man who designed all your favourite Floyd and Led Zep sleeves got Bruce smothered in post-it notes…
AND you get to hear two tracks from The Pineapple Thief, an awesome one from the new Anathema LP, an oldie from Lunatic Soul: and if that wasn’t enough, details of a forthcoming Kscope re-issue of a classic from Porcupine Tree.

EPISODE THREE (April 30th 2010)
Welcome back to you AND welcome back to Anathema: with their first LP proper for 5 years. It’s a masterpiece.
Mixed by Steven Wilson from Porcupine Tree (from whom we hear in a candid reflection of his time working on the project) the LP is entitled ‘We’re Here Because We’re Here’. So, in this episode your host Billy Reeves hops into the Kscope jalopy and travels to the city of Liverpool to interrupt an Anathema rehearsal. Danny and Vincent Cavanagh speak of their pride in the record, it’s creative gestation and list the countries where they’re popular! A trip to the USA is planned too, it seems…
AND there’s a new LP imminent on Kscope from The Pineapple Thief: which rocks harder than, well, a big rock. You’ll hear a track from that too which will burn itself onto your auditary cortex. And if that wasn’t enough Kscope – the Post-Progressive Podcast – spins a Porcupine Tree live tune from the Dutch leg of the last world tour (part of the new DVD film ‘Anesthetize’) and you’ll be slack-jawed at the new single from band du jour North Atlantic Oscillation.

And, of course, your genial host Billy Reeves plays you tracks from Richard Barbieri, No-Man, Engineers, a brand new one from the eagerly awaited forthcoming The Pineapple Thief album, and North Atlantic Oscillation: who since their appearence on the previous Kscope, The Post Progressive Podcast, have become the hippest rock band in the UK (a Radio 1 album of the week, 8/10 in the NME, raves from the London Sunday Times and Uncut amongst others).
