From the snarling opener "To the Bone" to the melancholic balladry of "Pariah" (featuring Ninet Tayeb), the dynamic range is breathtaking. Tracks like "Permanating" burst with ABBA-meets-Peter Gabriel energy, while "Detonation" builds a 9-minute epic that only Wilson could craft. In FLAC format, the low-end on "People Who Eat Darkness" punches with visceral clarity, and the acoustic textures on "Blank Tapes" feel like they’re in the room with you.
Featuring contributions from Andy Partridge (XTC) and Paul Stacey, the album is a masterclass in collaborative arrangement. Essential Tracks for FLAC Enthusiasts steven wilson to the bone 2017 flac hot
