PORCUPINE TREE’S STEVEN WILSON & AVIV GEFFEN RE-ISSUE THEIR SECOND ALBUM ‘BLACKFIELD II’ REMASTERED BY STEVEN WILSON IN 2013
Blackfield is the collaboration between Israeli songwriter & musician Aviv Geffen & British musician & producer, author & Porcupine Tree mastermind, Steven Wilson. Their second offering ‘II’, originally released in 2007, is a fan favourite alongside their debut serving as a high benchmark for all progressive music released since & includes the popular songs "My Gift Of Silence", "Miss U" & "Once".
An experimental record of 10 superbly crafted songs of beauty, power & melancholia, ‘Blackfield II’ is an exceptional production, full of glorious hooks, lush harmony vocals & contemporary guitars. ‘Blackfield II’ comes following a multitude of reissues on the newly founded Transmission as well as the release of Steven Wilson’s seventh full length solo effort, ‘The Harmony Codex’. After performing at festivals & arenas worldwide throughout 2022 with Porcupine Tree following the release of their chart-topping comeback album ‘Closure // Continuation’, which landed at #2 in the Official UK Charts, the band also performed at festivals across Europe in Spring of 2023. The band also released the deluxe 7-disc Earbook set ‘An Accident Of Stars 2004 – 2017’ earlier this year chronicling their history.
The pair makes for a formidable musical force; Geffen has worked with legendary producers Tony Visconti & Trevor Horn, has played live with U2 & Placebo & is currently a judge on the Israeli TV show ‘The Voice’. Wilson, after a long tenure as the leader of the hugely influential band Porcupine Tree, has since embarked on a highly successful solo career, achieving 3 UK top 40 albums (the most recent also making the top 3 in Germany & The Netherlands) & multiple Grammy nominations.
This edition of Blackfield's sophomore album will be released on mid-price CD presented in a digipack packaging complete with an 8-page booklet.
