"Wow.
Another amazing Steven Wilson project...space/kraut/jazz rock to the nth. Amazing stuff...not for the timid however. From Porcupine Tree to No Man...through the ambient sounds of Bass Communion and to the boundry-pushing here Wilson has proven himself to be nothing short of genius."
Incredible Expanding Mindf**k-'Arcadia Son'(Headphone Dust)

"Not quite as mind-blowing as their previous release,the self-titled disc(see my review),but still well worth your time.'Arcadian Son' is another chance to allow Porcupine Tree's main man Steve Wilson to create some MORE good experimental progressive sounds as a side project.Only this time,he's got a three piece backing him up,Geoff Leigh-flute&sax,Mark Simnet-drums and Colin Edwin-bass.As for the tunes,some are better than others,but I liked the noisy opener "Wreck",the somewhat quirky "We Are Not Alone",the title cut "Arcadian Son"(nice synth playing and wah-wah guitar)and the twenty-minute epic "Shadow Of A Twisted Hand".Shouldn't be hard to find,I've seen this title in retail stores.Good to take out for a spin every now and again."
