EPISODE SEVEN (August 27th 2010)
Steven Wilson on Insurgentes & the new Engineers
Steven Wilson returns to Kscope The Post Progressive Podcast this month as there’s a couple of relevant releases: Insurgentes – his hugely entertaining road movie and part artist-manifesto comes out on Kscope as an extra-packed double DVD soon: PLUS the very early work of Porcupine Tree, Recordings, also gets a release on Kscope shortly. 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!

EPISODE SIX (July 30th 2010)
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.
Podcast content:
Porcupine Tree – Cure for Optimism (taken from Recordings)

EPISODE FIVE (June 25th 2010)
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.
Podcast content:
Nosound – Some Warmth Into This Chill (taken from A Sense of Loss)

EPISODE FOUR (May 28th 2010)
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. Incidentally we’ve just released the live Porcupine Tree DVD Anesthetize…

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.

EPISODE TWO (March 26th 2010)
In this edition of Kscope, the Post-Progressive Podcast, we meet up with Tim Bowness from No-Man to talk about the recent double DVD Mixtaped, the forthcoming reissue of Wild Opera, to find out why a No-Man concert is a rare and precious thing, and to find out what he has planned…AND we go backstage with nu-gaze pioneers Engineers to find them in good spirits after a line-up change, and to discover whether ‘Shoegaze’ is a blessing or a curse!
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). Told you so!
PLUS, listen out for news of the forthcoming Anathema album…
