We also caught up with guitarist Alex Lifeson, this is where you will find out where the album title and indeed the band name came from and how his style has evolved.   Overall we learn how the band came to be and how it is growing from strength to strength as they learn how each other work.   The new album is out now   Track list: Stygian Waves The Story Under The Stars That Was Then   You can keep up with Kscope on our socials:   https://www.instagram.com/kscopemusic/   www.facebook.com/Kscopemusic  https://open.spotify.com//kscopemusic https://www.youtube.com/@kscopemusic    https://kscopemusic.com/

In this episode we were lucky enough to catch up with two Kscope artists who both have new music to share with us.  Firstly, we hear from Iamthemorning's virtuoso pianist Gleb Kolyadin who is celebrating the release of his solo album Mobula which takes listeners on a journey through cosmic landscapes, where imagination transforms the ordinary.  Then our host Billy Reeves chats with Colin Edwin (ex Porcupine Tree) about the album from his band O.R.k, who have been teasing this release with singles for the last 6 months so it really is a long awaited release!  The new album Firehose of Falsehoods marks another chapter in the band’s ever-evolving exploration of progressive, alternative, and art rock and captures O.R.k.’s signature mix of spontaneity, intricacy, and supreme musicianship.

As this is the first podcast of the year, we are celebrating all things new!   We will hear from Jonathan Hultén about his new album which is out this week and hear about his experience of touring with The Cult recently. There is a new album from Envy Of None on the way, so we hear the latest single from them. You will also hear the new track from O.R.k which has arrived in the lead up to their new album in March, plus Gleb Kolyadin has a new album coming out, he is the piano genius from iamthemorning and this is the first music he has recorded in the UK. Finally, if that’s not enough we also have a new live recording from TesseracT, recorded at their performance last year at Radar festival.   Track list: Envy of None – Stygian Waves Jonathan Hultén – Afterlife Jonathan Hultén - Riverflame Gleb Kolyadin – Dawnlight O.R.k – The Other Side TesseracT – Tender (Live at Radar 2024)   You can keep up with Kscope on our socials: https://kscopemusic.com/ https://www.instagram.com/kscopemusic/   www.facebook.com/Kscopemusic  https://open.spotify.com//kscopemusic https://www.youtube.com/@kscopemusic       

us in a celebration of the Kscope Hits and highlights of 2024, as host Billy Reeves revisits his chats with the likes of: Amos Williams (TesseracT) Mike Vennart (Oceansize/Biffy Clyro) Vincent Cavanagh (The Radicant, Anathema) Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree/O.R.k.) Tim Bowness (No-Man/Henry Fool) Nick Beggs (Kajagoogoo/Mute Gods/Steven Wilson/Trifecta) Bruce Soord (The Pineapple Thief) Plus! New music for 2025 from Gleb Kolyadin and Jonathan Hultén   Thanks for another year of ing our Podcast and we will see you on the other side, Happy New Year!

This month we catch up with Mike Vennart of Oceansize, a timely chat ahead of our reissue of the momentous and cinematic “Frames”, but not just a standard reissue, we have of course given it the Kscope treatment, it is presented on gatefold 3LP and includes extra tracks and rarities plus unseen photos. Nowadays Mike enjoys success with his latest project Empire State Bastard as well as touring with Biffy Clyro, But host Billy Reeves asks him to go back in time and reflect about his time with the hugely influential Oceansize and even wonders what it would take to get them back on the road. PLUS the latest single from O.R.k and a reminder that The Pineapple Thief are hard touring in the USA so we thought their topically named single Election Day deserved a spin!

An episode packed with treats (no tricks) to celebrate Halloween. We have a couple of spooky teasers for you as Envy Of None release a new single which sets the tone for things to come from them and you’ll hear the most recent release from Jonathan Hultén, who is currently on tour in the UK in of The Cult while he builds momentum to his forthcoming album in January. We hear from Bruce Soord about the thoughts behind the The Pineapple Thief EP before they head off on tour in the USA. And as if that wasn’t enough, we also mark the 10th Anniversary of “Distant Satellites” by Anathema, which is being released on sparkle Vinyl plus the beautiful remaster of a collaboration between Mariusz Duda and Steven Wilson on the 10th anniversary of “The Old Peace” penned by late Alec Wildey which is getting it’s digital debut through Kscope.  

In this bumper episode we hear from Colin Edwin of O.R.k about their latest run of releases and since we also spoke to Richard Barbieri we took the opportunity to talk to them both about their time in Porcupine Tree and what it was like during the making of Fear Of A Blank Planet, a timely chat ahead of the release of and a 116 page hardback book 5 disc edition packed with rarities. Plus, Andy, Phil and Clark from the newest band to the label, Ihlo, talk to Billy Reeves about their excitement of having their debut album “Union” get the Kscope treatment with a beautiful CD and double LP out this week which is remastered by Acle Kahney of TesseracT. Ihlo are on tour this Autumn and getting along to see that will be a decision you will not regret!    

As we reach the end of summer in the UK, TesseracT are coming to the end of the latest leg of their mega tour which was in of their album War of Being (which incidentally is a year old this week) so we thought we would have an overdue catch up with bassist Amos Williams about life on tour away from loved ones, making up for lost time and future plans.  This week also sees the release of "Powder Dry" the long awaited new album from Tim Bowness so we thought his song "Summer Turned" would be well placed in this episode falling on the cusp of Autumn.  You will also hear from The Radicant, Storm Corrosion and our most recent additions to Kscope IHLO   

Kscope are releasing the debut EP by The Radicant who you may know as Vincent Cavanagh, the former frontman of Anathema. The Radicant is a solo project of sorts which includes collaborators from many disciplines, informed in part by Vincent’s composition work for recent multi-media installations by fine artists; so this is pop music presented as aural sculpture. The EP is out now, so it was time for Billy Reeves to catch up with the man himself, in a Grade II listed north London church, recommissioned as London’s newest art gallery. Where else?!

us for episode 171 of the Kscope where our host Billy Reeves catches up with Tim Bowness ahead of his album “Powder Dry” which is out on 16th August. We will hear about his influences, collaborations and future plans and why he decided that Kscope was the label for him.
