Some very nice music suggested by a site visitor. The tune above suggests to me that the band has listened to its share of Pink Floyd, though they have a unique sound. The guitarist, Steven Wilson, is terrific.
Not a band with which I am familiar, so I don’t have much relevant to say. Here is the band’s Wikipedia entry. To the person who took the time to suggest the band and songs — you know who you are — thanks. This is what I want the site to be. Please send any and all suggestions.
Here are some books to check out.
Duke Ellington brought class, sophistication and style to jazz which, until that point, was proudly unpolished and raucous. His story is profound. The author, Terry Teachout, also wrote "Pops," the acclaimed bio of Louis Armstrong. Click here or on the image.

The Grateful Dead don't get enough credit for the profound nature of its lyrics. Many of the band's songs are driven by a deep and literate Americana ("I'm Uncle Sam/That's who I am/Been hidin' out/In a rock and roll band" and "Majordomo Billy Bojangles/Sit down and have a drink with me/What's this about Alabama/Keeps comin' back to me?").
David Dodd's exhaustive study tells the story, song by song. Click here or on the image.
