Originally released on the 3rd Stone label in February 2001, ‘Returning Jesus’ is a collection of ambitious songs which combine Singer-Songwriter, Art Rock, ECM Jazz, and Ambient infl uences with the band’s unique widescreen production and seductively melancholy compositi ons.
‘Returning Jesus’ received highly positi ve reviews in Mojo, Uncut, Billboard, Classic Rock and other publications at the time of its release and has conti nued to be seen by both critics and fans as one of the best albums produced by the duo of Tim Bowness and Steven Wilson (both currently enjoying successful solo careers, with Wilson recently reaching the Top 5 album charts in several countries).
Guest musicians include Steve Jansen (Japan/Rain Tree Crow) on drums, Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree) on bass and double bass, Theo Travis (Soft Machine) on saxophone and flute, and Ian Dixon on trumpet. The late trumpeter Ian Carr (Nucleus), David Kosten (Faultline, Bat For Lashes) and Ben Christophers contribute to the evocative opening piece ‘Only Rain’.
