4 ½

Designed conceptually as a transitional 'mini-album' bridging the creative gap between two major solo full-lengths, this release consists primarily of reworked outtakes from recent recording sessions. It notably features a completely re-recorded, updated version of 'Don't Hate Me' from his legendary previous band, Porcupine Tree. The collection gracefully highlights his ongoing mastery of sweeping, cinematic progressive rock and melancholic pop sensibilities.
