Steven Wilson - Requiem For A Village

Requiem for a Village is the ninth studio album by the English progressive rock musician Steven Wilson. The concept album is set in an isolated, fictional village somewhere in the British Isles, whose inhabitants maintain their own customs and traditions. It takes inspiration from the 1975 British folk horror film of the same name, as well as British folk music, literature and television programmes from the late 1960s and early 1970s. The album features spoken-word passages written by Andy Partridge and narrated by actor David Tennant. Musically, Wilson combines progressive rock with folk and experimental elements, adopting an analogue-oriented recording approach that deliberately embraces imperfections and spontaneous performances. Contributors include multi-instrumentalist Randy McStine, drummer Russell Holzman and vocalist Katherine Priddy
