Steven Wilson Wins Album Of The Year At Last Year's Awards

Steven Wilson won the prestigious Album Of The Year Award at last year's Progressive Music Awards for The Raven That Refused To Sing (And Other Stories).

The album, which was Wilson’s best-selling solo work to date, came out on top in a bumper year for progressive releases. Needless to say Mr. Wilson was most gracious with his acceptance speech which you can watch in this exclusive clip.

IQ’s first album in five years, The Road Of Bones, got the big thumbs up upon its release.

Fish’s A Feast Of Consequences was a tasty little treat as well!

Knifeworld’s first album for new label InsideOut, The Unravelling, looks set to move the band onwards.

Transatlantic’s fourth studio album Kaleidoscope was certainly a bright and colourful affair.

Syd Arthur continued their upward trend with the excellent Sound Mirror.
