"10th ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF STEVEN WILSON’S LEGENDARY FOURTH SOLO ALBUM DOUBLE LP ON NEON PINK & PURPLE SPLATTER VINYL - HALF-SPEED REMASTER (2025, ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS), GATEFOLD SLEEVE
“Hand.Cannot.Erase. is an album rooted in sonic & spiritual modernity… an inventive blend of bleak & brooding industrial soundscapes” ***** The Guardian
Steven Wilson - six-time Grammy nominee, multi-instrumentalist, producer & founding member of the influential progressive rock band Porcupine Tree - released his critically acclaimed fourth solo album ‘Hand.Cannot.Erase.’ in 2015. Recorded at London’s AIR Studios, the album saw Wilson reuniting with a stellar lineup of musicians: Guthrie Govan (guitar), Adam Holzman (keyboards), Theo Travis (flute/sax), Nick Beggs (bass/stick) & Marco Minnemann (drums).
‘Hand.Cannot.Erase.’ received widespread critical acclaim on its release, with Classic Rock describing it as “a tour de force of experimental music making” & The Guardian awarding the album five-stars in their review. Commercially, the album performed strongly, reaching #13 on the UK Albums Chart & landing in the top 15 across Europe - including #2 in the Netherlands, #3 in Germany, #4 in Finland, #10 in Poland, #11 in Norway, & #12 in Austria.
Since the release of ‘Hand.Cannot.Erase.’, Wilson has continued to push creative boundaries. His subsequent solo albums, ‘To The Bone’ (2017) & ‘The Future Bites’ (2021), both charted in the top five internationally & further solidified his reputation as one of modern progressive music’s most innovative artists. His most recent studio album, ‘The Overview’ (2025), marks yet another ambitious leap forward - a sweeping, conceptual work that contemplates humanity’s place in the universe. Hailed by critics as one of his most expansive & thought-provoking efforts to date, ‘The Overview’ was supported by an extensive, sold-out European tour.
This special 10th anniversary edition of ‘Hand.Cannot.Erase.’ is presented as a double LP, pressed on neon pink & purple splatter vinyl. Housed in a gatefold sleeve, the album features brand-new half-speed remastered audio, completed in 2025 at Abbey Road Studios."
