    This Great sounding cd cost me £4.35 - with p&p what an excellent start!
    There will be some "fans" who won`t like ‎ "The Future Bites" as he`s not a "rock guitar" album.
    Mr Wilson is a Progressive Rock Artist the clue is in the title so yeah he`s "progressed" to making an
    excellent cd(i.m.o)by using a lot of synths etc.,it STILL sounds really good via a half decent system.
    For me a new never heard before record has to grab me musically,be mastered well and audibly coherent.
    Once it`s tick these boxes then I start to pick-up/hear more of the lyrics as I play it more ie:"Man Of The People" and "Personal Shopper"(with voice over by Sir Elton!).
    I`ve not heard the vinyl version but I do own several S.W. records on vinyl and they all sound just fine so take from that what you will,I just saw this at a very good price "sealed" and jumped on it - I`m glad I did as you may well be to if you`re a fan of
    S.W.,Progressive rock,Electronic, Rock, Pop,Pop Rock or Synth-pop.
    Highly recommended five stars thank you for taking the time to read this cd review but do check-out the vinyl record reviews too.
