Limited Edition of One is unlike any other music book you will ever have read.
Part the long-awaited memoir of Steven Wilson: whose celebrated band Porcupine Tree began as teenage fiction before unintentionally evolving into a reality that encompassed Grammy-nominated records and sold-out shows around the world, before he set out for an even more successful solo career.
Part the story of a twenty-first century artist who achieved chart-topping mainstream success without ever becoming part of the mainstream. From Abba to Stockhausen, via a collection of conversations and thought pieces on the art of listening, the rules of collaboration, lists of lists, personal stories, professional adventurism (including food, film, TV, modern art), old school rock stardom, how to negotiate an obsessive fanbase and survive on social media, to dream-fever storytelling.
The King of Progressive Rock, a curator of talent and the reason behind Porcupine Tree's rise and fall, the enormous scope and depth of Steven Wilson's career has spanned over 30 years. This is his untold story.
Part memoir, part meditation, part roadmap, part confection box of loose threads, lyrics, stories, pictures and ideas, A Limited Edition of One is a book presented as a journey, one that takes an unconventional route through the life and work of Steven Wilson, following the years up to the final Porcupine Tree show and revealing the aftermath of his decision to disband the group just when they were poised for superstardom.
This is Steven Wilson, as he has never been understood or glimpsed or presupposed before.
