Same here. And pretty much all of it is completely off the mainstream radar, even when it comes to people like Steven Wilson who can fill The Royal Albert Hall.

The only artists producing quality music who the “mainstream” have actually heard of are those whose like David Bowie or Kate Bush whose careers began in a very different era. Admittedly both are once-in-a-generation one-off talents but could a present-day equivalent break through to the mainstream now? I doubt it.

Of course you are right, however, I can’t remember a time where there has been so much good quality music available and I am currently buying more albums than I have done since the late 70′s early 80′s.

To be fair, niche scenes like ours and the mass-market mainstream might as well be on completely different planets. It’s not just a matter of scale, the entire ethos is different.

Yes, good items ahead for fans of quality music. so much for media claims that the album is dead due to falling sales for some third rate albums from over hyped mainstream acts.

Not forgetting Cloud Atlas, Morpheus Rising and Winter in Eden, all due in the early part of the year.

Great news, so we should get a new album by the end of 2014, if all goes to plan and hopefully some gigs to support the release.

Looks like a good year ahead with new releases planned for Mostly Autumn, Panic Room and Heather as well as Anathema and Glenn Hughes new band
