My take on Blackstar - before I heard of his death, recorded here for posterity. But. I am glad that he called out 4 1/2. I have just counted over 50 albums in my collection that are by - or heavily influenced by - Steven Wilson, so you could count me in as a fan and am eagerly waiting for 4 1’2 which is due next week.
