We talked to Steven Wilson a couple of weeks ago about his forthcoming — and groundbreaking — new Blu-ray release, Grace for Drowning. Fittingly, we offer you, the Sound + Vision and Steven Wilson faithful, an EXCLUSIVE look at the aptly titled “Track One,” the third song on Disc 2. “Track One” begins, shall I say, somewhat innocently with understated acoustics and vocals, followed by harmonies reminiscent of Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd by way of the Beach Boys, that then lead into a furious middle section before returning us all back to earth.
As for the video itself, let’s just say it builds up to an apropos eye- and ear-catching sequence that’ll make the hair on your head, neck, and rest of your body stand on end.
Enjoy!
Mike Mettler has been Editor-In-Chief of Sound + Vision since January 2006, and has been on staff since (gulp) 1989. An unrepentant audiophile, he spends many a sleepless night trying to reconcile his undying love for vinyl records with his iPod and iPad obsessions. Someday, he hopes to own a turquoise 1967 Mustang fastback.

I love the irony of hearing "Moving in Stereo" on the ad that plays before the video itself commences... and while "Track One" is indeed quite powerful in stereo, it's BEYOND encompassing in 5.1 ...

Thanks for this brilliant song. The images remember me those created by Bunuel in his early film "The Golden Age", particularly the scenes filmed in the gardens.
Wow... Can't wait for the 5.1.... I certainly didn't get the visual thing but I don't need to to enjoy the tuneage....
I pre-ordered the special edition, that comes with many extras including the Blu Ray version. I really can't wait!
And.. Steve Wilson is an incredible genius and he truly owns the present and future of music!
