Caught Mr Wilson live last night at Cambridge. Amazing show with great musicianship and visuals - very emotive. Good work from the whole bad.
if you get the chance I would recommend going.

Thanks for the concert brief, I will have a look if I can see him in his German leg of the tour
Was at the Cambridge Corn Exchange last night too (good to see you there, Gary) and thoroughly enjoyed the whole show. Amazingly tight performance from the band.
Listening to The Raven... (on vinyl) as I type.

I was at the Cambridge Corn Exchange last night as well. Excellent sound & vision, with fabulous musicianship on display from Adam Holzman & Guthrie Govan. Really clean distortion free sound at floor level, half way back and behind the mixing desk for the encores.
Looking forward to the London gig on Tuesday at the Troxy, where I expect the band will be tighter still.
Sad to be missing out this time around, but none of the dates worked for me.
I am hoping he will do some more gigs in the UK later this year and I will be able to catch him then

I am looking forward to Wolverhampton next week. Also very good to see that he seems to be leading the way (again) with reasonably priced high res downloads with his latest album now available at 24/96 for £8 on burning shed. Hopefully others will take note.
I was at the Cardiff gig last night and absolutely loved it.

Hand. Cannot. Erase. is no.13 in the BBC album chart and no.1 in their rock chart. It has achieved this while being more or less ignored by the mainstream print and broadcast media. Front page in Prog magazine, but nowhere with Mojo, Q, Uncut and BBC Radio (Please correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't read them all). SW falls between acceptable classic rock (Floyd, Zep etc) and indie cred, so they don't know what to to with him. Meanwhile, their readers and listeners persist in buying is records.

That is significantly cheaper than another download site at over £13 and less than the CD. I noticed that the Porcupine Tree back catalogue is also being made available in 24/96 at reasonable prices On burning shed.
as you say let's hope others take note.

So I assume you downloaded the FLAC files. I too have downloaded these, having received a download code with the LP. However, these are now on my PC. Do you know what has to be done to extract the files to play through a Naim Audio streamer? (I assume they need to be restored to an uncompressed format before dragging to the server?)
Clive,
i imagine you need to extract extract them with something like Winzip or 7 zip and place them in a folder which catalogued by your UPNP server.
of course this assumes that you are using uPnP.
i hope this helps.
Thanks, David. In the end I just dragged and dropped it into the 'Downloads' folder on the NS01 and it works fine. It's at 16 bit resolution, but that's not bad given that it was free with the LP.
At at least I can just leave it on as background music through the NDS whilst trying to get into it, saving the vinyl for serious listening.
Saw him last year in Bristol, great new album.
He is playing the Royal Albert Hall, 28 & 29 September, tickets on sale 27 March, announced today.
