Steven will have remixed this interview by tomorrow :)

Steve Wilson, the most famous unknown person in music. He’s everywhere, but hiding in plain sight!

His remix work of Gentle Giant albums has put the band back on the map, better than ever before!

Steven Wilson, the man who changed my perception of music. His creativity is off the charts. Even after 35 years of composing, he can still come up with a masterpiece like Staircase. He is a legend guys, enjoy his art while he is still active and alive.

his work with Opeth is magnificent, wish he still worked with them

This is a very articulate man. His music is endlessly fascinating. I wish more people knew about his music

I've been a huge PT/Steve Wilson fan for 20 years. And it pleases me to no end to see you and him talking about music and recordings.

SW is just such a musical genius. Incredible music. Smart guy too.

I grew up with "Ummagumma" and "Zeit." Great stuff. Steven Wilson is a wonderful composer and musician. Thank you, Rick, for posting this great interview video.

Steven has ears of GOLD. Always loved Porcupine Tree, and of course, his work with Opeth, and I’m now diving into the solo stuff. It’s VERY GOOD!

I remember buying Tangerine Dream’s Encore album back when it came out and thinking it was terrible. 45 years later I have just about everything they recorded. Funny how some things sound different as you mature 😊

Can we just take a moment to acknowledge that this articulate young man is FIFTY SIX FREAKING YEARS OLD!!!!

Steven Wilson never fails to captivate me in interview and music! Truly a visionary still too underseen.

His jethro tull remixes are terrific👍

Love what he’s done with all the Great Progressive rock classics. His production work is brilliant.

My favourite artist! It's amazing to see him on your channel, Rick. He is so talented and the best! Being a very big Pink Floyd fan for many years, his music speaks to me. PT, Blackfield and solo projects...❤

100% agree with Steven about Ummagumma, still my fave Floyd album, light years ahead of its time. Once again well done Rick, you’re the consummate interviewer, just saying enough, but allowing your guest to express himself without needless interruptions.

Hey Rick. Thank you for the excellent questions and...the silence. I mean, letting the interviewee do the talking. It is rarer and rarer these days and much appreciated. Cheers

Genesis _'Genesis'_ was a full album record I came back to at minimum every 3 months, for 30 years after it was released. I broke that "habit" by playing 'The Platinum Collection' incessantly for a couple of years. I am so happy that Steven Wilson came in for an interview with Rick Beato !!

I've learned so much from your interview with Steve. Thank you so much, Rick.

2:08!I was expecting you to say this about my fave Swedes (though kinda unexpected for many)and got so glad about it.Just Thank you Steve.!

So glad you’re interviewing him and what passion and talent. His carefully curated CD collection called “intrigue” is worth the price of admission and the harmony codex album is quite beautiful and powerful. Each song is its own little surprise and the depth and intensity of what he put into creating it is quite obvious. So look forward to his next projects. Thank you for this and Beato 2.

Great interview! TY!

@Rick_Beato: I watched your full 1:1 with Steven Wilson. Besides his producer and mixing chops, his originals and catalogue are ABSOLUTELY worth a deep dive. His originality and diversity is unparalleled. I truly wish you’d bring him back and actually discuss all his bands as well as his solo work.🙏🏼🙏🏼

The run of Bowie albums from 1970 to 1980 Man who sold the world to Scary Monsters is my top range of quality. I don't know too much about Wilson and his taste so I wonder what he thinks of Bowie?

One of my favourite podcasters (The Album Years) and one of my favourite KZfaqrs speaking together…this is great!

I only need two more hours of this to feel satisfied. As I alway say, Rick is a master interviewer and interviewing one of my favorite song writers is not a bad way to spend a bit of time. I know there’s more, so Rick, cough it up!

I couldn't agree more with Steven re the ABBA records. Having worked in the music / radio industry for the past 45 yrs those records would have to be some of the BEST produced records ever.

This is such an entertaining conversation/interview!

What an excellent interview !! As a 23 year fan of PT, I’ve always liked Wilson but I’ve just gained more respect and admiration for this guy than ever before. Not only is he a genius, he’s a class act with a good sense of humor. And I loved his takes on Ummagumma and “ Zeit “ from TD. 😆 One can truly get lost with those albums. He obviously has great taste in old school, experimental compositions. But I can’t say enough for his talent and heavy influence from David Gilmour, the early PT in particular.

Very cool that Steven mentioned UmmaGumma. The live tracks from that record are awesome!

Wow! This is a great episode!

This is great! I'm hoping to find the whole long interview with Stephen. He's one of my favorite musicians of all time.

Love Tangerine Dream 👍👽 (Vangelis awesome too)

The whole interview was fascinating. Rick has to be the best interviewer out there. He's treated as an equal so we gain so much insight into the creative minds of these great musicians.

@StevenWilsonHQ is a legend and a fantastic mixer. I've had the privilege to meet him and listen to his mixes on an LISA system.

When I was introduced to SW about ten years ago I was blown away. Then saw live show and more impressed. A master musician that creates some of the best music. A breath of fresh air in a music felid of not so clean air.

Thank you so much, Steven, for recommending the album 'Zeit'. I had never heard of the album until It turns out that this album is performing the same ambient effect on me as it does on you. Ever since hearing your recommendation, I am playing this album non-stop, as it makes the most amazing study aid! It is simply perfect in this regard!

Great interview! Steven mentioned Tangerine Dream's 1972 ZEIT album: I just started listening to that and buying tracks on iTunes. Ethereal and beautiful. It was nice to hear Steven applaud those great early Elton John albums up through to 1976's BLUE MOVES which remains, to me, an understated mature gem of a record.

I could listen to you guys talk for hours!!

Steven Wilson is the Brian Wilson of our times. He simply creates music on a higher plane than almost all other mere mortals.

Wilson is a such master of sonics and production - with a very exciting taste in music. Great interview!

Agree with Steven on Elton- an incredible run, you could easily hear at least 2 of his singles in heavy rotation top 40 mid-70's AM radio. Great interview.

Big Fan of Steven Wilsons work. Very, very talented man.

Love his GG remixes, especially The Power and the Glory (which is 50 years old this year, but sounds like it could of been made yesterday).💯😎

Incredible .. I am a swilson fan.. and i often listen Tangerine Dream with my miss.,looking landscapes, dreaming, dancing..

Very modest genius... Wedding nails is the song i keep coming back to...the first time i head the solo i knew there were no rules and music was another form of art. 🙂

You both are Great Talented Men !

More please!

I agree with Steve about the ABBA records. One must also remember their fastidiousness in the songwriting process. They spent much of the time outside in a small cabin on an island in the Stockholm archipelago and wrote the music with only an acoustic guitar and piano. They were very particular about what music they brought to the studio band and the recordings.

I love Zeit, it's so immersive and textural. I always put it on when I'm having trouble sleeping, and I say this as a huge compliment. It's like music from the deep of the cosmos.

Finally! Thank you!

First music i heard on CD was Tangerine Dream. My uncle and cousin had lots of money and they bought 2 CD players at 800$ a piece in 1984. And the whole family came over a individually put on headphone, layed on the bed and my cousin had 2 discs and Tangerine Dream was it. It was amazing, no hiss, no clicks i was 10 if the year is correct in my memory. Im gonna check them out, i totally forgot.

The people who aren’t subscribed fast forward through your spiel. I listen to it every time like a good lil subscriber.

That Elton run of albums is amazing, for sure. The only other real contender for long quality album run I can think of off the top would be Stevie Wonder... (For Once In My Life, My Cherie Amour, Signed, Sealed & Delivered, Where I’m Coming From. Music Of My Mind, Talking Book, Innervisions, Fullfillingness’ First Finale, Songs In the Key of Life)

Nice interview

I love Tangerine Dream "Zeit" from 1972. Steven Wilson remixed Ricochet magnificently in 2019.

Steven: "I am not a particularly great musician". Whaaaaaaaaaat??? Are you crazy? Love these two guys sooo much! :) :) :)

Interesting video, as usual. I admire Steven Wilson’s work solo and Porcupine Tree. Interesting to hear him mention Zeit. I am mainly a rock fan, put a good beat and some guitar in there with a great driving rhythm section ( Deep Purple great example ) and I am happy. I love blues, jazz, indie, electronic. I listen to Tangerine Dream almost every day at some point. Tan gram being a fav.

This interview will be remixed and remastered in Atmos in a few days. Double LP + Double K7 + Double ADAT + Double MiniDisk - Double Pendisk Full photobook with the complete transcription Double DVD featuring a virtual tour at Rick's Studio. Tshirt + Poster + Stickers 1000 Limited Edition.

I knew Steven Wilson on a feat he did with Grand Island. Amazing band, amazing colab!

When I was 15, in 1990, I discovered Tangerine Dream when I randomly found "Zeit" in the public library. It's still my favourite album of all time.

Wow! What a coincidence...just stumbled into Porcupine Tree and Mr. Wilson's awesome music last night. It was meant to be. I am 60 and had never heard of PT or Steven's music. His musical influences are my music influences as a fan not a musician, right down to being introduced, by a teacher, to Tangerine Dream in 1979 in his art class. God bless you Rick, Steven and Mr. Turner (the art teacher).😊

Wilson is a musical force of nature. Great interview, Rick!

Didn't know you had this as another channel though i probably watched some of your interviews on this channel for quite sometime. Just hit the sub option now.

Umma Gumma? Tangerine Dream? I see you’re a man of taste! ❤

Many of my favorite albums, that I regularly go back to, are ones where Steven himself was involved. As a producer, contribitor, writer, or otherwise. :)

SW is a fantastic musician, both PT and his solo work are brilliant. The collaborations with Ninet Tayeb are priceless!

Well if this wasn't a surprise. PT live is a force of nature. Wilson does not possess the ability to craft a bad song. Kudos to Rick for this. And Steve likes TD - my only yoga/meditation music through the 1970s. I was blessed to see TD live. Blessed to discover PT. And blessed to actually hear this man speak! As he says very very little in concert lol...

Love that Rick is rocking a North Face top! It's only taken the USA about 20 years to catch onto the brand.

Just subbed Rick. Ty for the reminder 😂

Almost a seminar rather than an interview. A good one.

Love. Love. Luv. Your work. MINDSAUCE loves ya ! ❤ 🌵 ❤

Love him. One of my absolute favourites - Porcupine Tree are simply amazing

In college, 76-80, Pink Floyd Uma Gumma fascinated me because it was interpretated differently by everyone who listened to it...

SW sounded very intelligent and articulate for someone who doesn't like the Beatles much. 😀

Glad to hear Tangerine Dream there, been a fan for a long time.

I'm a big Steven Wilson fan. I've goot all his Gentle Giant remixes. I have just bought his Who's Next, and it is absolutely brilliant.

I could listen to SW for days, really. His creativity is SO inspiring ! 🤩

Always the summers, are slipping away

Love the amused look on Rick’s face as he realises there that here is someone who loves to talk even more than he does. 😂

Steve? Rick - love that. He's sufficiently deep/obscure that I'm a bit shocked. But well done!

To me, I will keep praying that Steven remixes Animals by Pink Floyd. It's a dream of mine.

Rick I would love you to interview ambient artists. Steve Roach, Brian Eno, William Basinski, etc. Ambient is bigger than ever right now.

I too always thought Elton John had the greatest run of records in rock history ... he released 10 studio albums in the space of less than 7 years, 9 of which were incredible (I think Rock of the Westies is pretty bad). And as Steven Wilson mentioned, two of them were double albums. Plus during that time Elton also released two live albums, 17-11-70 and Here and There. Moreover, based on a documentary I saw about the recording of Yellow Brick Road, what's also astounding is the fact that Elton was able to create songs in less than one hour!!! Incredibly prolific musician and songwriter. On top of everything, though his albums would be written and recorded in the space of 2 or 3 weeks, the production value was through the roof!!! Simply amazing. The only artists I would compare him to in terms of producing both incredible quantity and world-class quality are The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, David Bowie and Bob Marley. I can't think of anyone else at that level.

Great interview by one of my favorite artists talking about two of my favorite bands/artists (PF and EJ)

His Tull , Marillion and Tears for Fears mixes are brilliant.

Steven Wilson is true brilliance and a musical genius!

Peter Hammill comes to when when you look at the prolific output of albums.

Steven's statement about "... coming back to a project a month later and hearing things you would've never heard before is so TRUE!" I'm always working on songs like they're on an assembly line at different stages of completion. Keeps you fresh!

I am one of the 13% who watch this channel that is subscribed. Love your content, Rick.

I agree about Ummagumma. Just this morning 'Grantchester Meadows' came up on my shuffle as I was doing housework. I love the humor of the bee hunt at the end. I wonder if the generally negative opinions about that album aren't influenced more by being told it's bad than by actually listening to it.

All hail ABBA! Nice to see support for the juggernaut of pop!

I liked 'Zeit' so much that I named one of my bands after it.

I'm even more convinced that there are only two types of people: Those who love ABBA, and those who won't admit it

Love Zeit! So much!

Very interesting what Steven Wilson has to say. I appreciate that you kept yourself back, Rick.

My teenage bestie shared my tastes in 1970s oddball exotic Euro music, AND he had an imported vinyl copy of "Zeit". I think we always listened to it together, because the music was way too spooky to listen to alone! It was the sense of cold, utter isolation that could freak a young guy out, down in the basement listening room. Imagine having to flip the vinyl 3 times, and *still* have nothing happen - some kind of lonely purgatory state. And yet, it was so supremely pleasurable! I'm going to be a pensioner next year, and I still put on my "Zeit" CD at least once a year. I have had to learn to listen to it alone however, but now with a little laser thing projecting dim stars onto my ceiling. My old brain always feels much refreshed afterward.

If you never heard Porcupine Tree you’d think Steven Wilson would look exactly like Steven Wilson does.
