Album Notes & Community Reviews

Comprised of extensively reworked and reimagined material originating from their earliest demo tapes in the late 1980s, '((Speak))' presents a fascinating look at the formative stages of the Steven Wilson and Tim Bowness collaboration[cite: 1]. The heavily ambient, soothing production effectively transforms the early tracks into a cohesive, profoundly melancholic dream pop statement[cite: 1].
