THE FUTURE BITES – OUT NOW

RobNews

Today, is release day for THE FUTURE BITES, a day it seemed would never arrive! Strangely although the album was written and recorded before the pandemic, recent world events have made it somehow even more relevant to our times. So on this momentous day (for me at least) I want to send my thanks in advance to all of you … Read More

The Last Great American Dynasty (Taylor Swift cover)

RobNews

My final TFB session track of 2020 is something a bit different. To mark the end of the year I wanted to do a cover of someone else’s song from 2020 rather than one of mine, and I’ve chosen one from Taylor Swift’s fantastic Folklore album. This is a story-telling song with brilliant lyrics, and rather a lot of them. … Read More

Voyage 34 – The Future Bites Sessions

RobNews

The latest Future Bites session is one of my very earliest solo recordings. Voyage 34 was released under the name Porcupine Tree way back in 1992, and at the time was one of the longest singles ever released at 30 minutes! This session version is much abbreviated, but look out for a more extended updating of Brian’s 34th LSD trip … Read More
