It was worked on at Abbey Road Studios and will be on sale from today (30th May) Our host Billy Reeves went to visit Bruce in his studio to hear about how he feels about the record a decade later and who he sites as supporting him along the way, plus there is a podcast exclusive acoustic performance from Bruce.

In dieser sehr persönlichen und gleichzeitig charmant-chaotischen Folge von „Devs on Tape“ plaudern wir ganz entspannt aus dem Wohnzimmer über aktuelle Entwicklungen im Podcast, Technik-Fails, anstehende Konferenzen und große Veränderungen im Leben – inklusive Baby-News! Zwischen APEX Connect, KScope, Podcasterfahrungen und Produkttipps wird über Video-Experimente, Reiseplanungen und die Herausforderung gesprochen, Podcast-Content trotz Mutterschutz und Kameraüberhitzung zu liefern.

To coincide with the release of the Envy Of None album “Stygian Wavs”, our host Billy Reeves hears from Singer and lyricist Maiah Wynne about her thought processes and influences when writing and recording new work, and some sage advice for fellow women in the music industry. We also caught up with guitarist Alex Lifeson, this is where you will find out where the album title and indeed the band name came from and how his style has evolved.   Overall we learn how the band came to be and how it is growing from strength to strength as they learn how each other work.   The new album is out now   Track list: Stygian Waves The Story Under The Stars That Was Then   You can keep up with Kscope on our socials:   https://www.instagram.com/kscopemusic/   www.facebook.com/Kscopemusic  https://open.spotify.com/user/kscopemusic https://www.youtube.com/@kscopemusic    https://kscopemusic.com/

26 Years in the MakingTim and his company, Applied OLAP, has been in the Performance Management space for 26 years.  That's longer that many of the people in this space have worked, longer even than some of the people in this space have been on God's green earth.  That longevity isn't accidental, but rather the result of a vision, a not unmeasurable amount of determination, a focus on continual product improvement, and oh yes – a pretty damn cool product – Dodeca. I think so highly of the product, I wrote a chapter about it in my second book, Developing Essbase Applications:  Advanced Techniques for Finance and IT Professionals.  I will also note that this book is out of print and Amazon are pricing it at $170.  Perhaps the Dodeca chapter is partially responsible?Tim has been the visionary, developer (in the beginning, although he now claims he “does no work” which I am pretty skeptical of), and constant cheerleader for Dodeca and Applied OLAP's other products.Tim is always at ODTUG's Kscope and holds ongoing events where new and existing customers – if you haven't been to one of them or indeed Kscope, you owe it to yourself to do so.In the meantime, have a listen to Tim in this episode and the one to come.Join us, won't you?

In this episode we were lucky enough to catch up with two Kscope artists who both have new music to share with us.  Firstly, we hear from Iamthemorning's virtuoso pianist Gleb Kolyadin who is celebrating the release of his solo album Mobula which takes listeners on a journey through cosmic landscapes, where imagination transforms the ordinary.  Then our host Billy Reeves chats with Colin Edwin (ex Porcupine Tree) about the upcoming album from his band O.R.k, who have been teasing this release with singles for the last 6 months so it really is a long awaited release!  The new album Firehose of Falsehoods marks another chapter in the band's ever-evolving exploration of progressive, alternative, and art rock and captures O.R.k.'s signature mix of spontaneity, intricacy, and supreme musicianship.

As this is the first podcast of the year, we are celebrating all things new!   We will hear from Jonathan Hultén about his new album which is out this week and hear about his experience of touring with The Cult recently. There is a new album from Envy Of None on the way, so we hear the latest single from them. You will also hear the new track from O.R.k which has arrived in the lead up to their new album in March, plus Gleb Kolyadin has a new album coming out, he is the piano genius from iamthemorning and this is the first music he has recorded in the UK. Finally, if that's not enough we also have a new live recording from TesseracT, recorded at their performance last year at Radar festival.   Track list: Envy of None – Stygian Waves Jonathan Hultén – Afterlife Jonathan Hultén - Riverflame Gleb Kolyadin – Dawnlight O.R.k – The Other Side TesseracT – Tender (Live at Radar 2024)   You can keep up with Kscope on our socials: https://kscopemusic.com/ https://www.instagram.com/kscopemusic/   www.facebook.com/Kscopemusic  https://open.spotify.com/user/kscopemusic https://www.youtube.com/@kscopemusic       

Join us in a celebration of the Kscope Hits and highlights of 2024, as host Billy Reeves revisits his chats with the likes of: Amos Williams (TesseracT) Mike Vennart (Oceansize/Biffy Clyro) Vincent Cavanagh (The Radicant, Anathema) Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree/O.R.k.) Tim Bowness (No-Man/Henry Fool) Nick Beggs (Kajagoogoo/Mute Gods/Steven Wilson/Trifecta) Bruce Soord (The Pineapple Thief) Plus! New music for 2025 from Gleb Kolyadin and Jonathan Hultén   Thanks for another year of supporting our Podcast and we will see you on the other side, Happy New Year!

This month we catch up with Mike Vennart of Oceansize, a timely chat ahead of our reissue of the momentous and cinematic “Frames”, but not just a standard reissue, we have of course given it the Kscope treatment, it is presented on gatefold 3LP and includes extra tracks and rarities plus unseen photos. Nowadays Mike enjoys success with his latest project Empire State Bastard as well as touring with Biffy Clyro, But host Billy Reeves asks him to go back in time and reflect about his time with the hugely influential Oceansize and even wonders what it would take to get them back on the road. PLUS the latest single from O.R.k and a reminder that The Pineapple Thief are hard touring in the USA so we thought their topically named single Election Day deserved a spin!

An episode packed with treats (no tricks) to celebrate Halloween. We have a couple of spooky teasers for you as Envy Of None release a new single which sets the tone for things to come from them and you'll hear the most recent release from Jonathan Hultén, who is currently on tour in the UK in support of The Cult while he builds momentum to his forthcoming album in January. We hear from Bruce Soord about the thoughts behind the upcoming The Pineapple Thief EP before they head off on tour in the USA. And as if that wasn't enough, we also mark the 10th Anniversary of “Distant Satellites” by Anathema, which is being released on sparkle Vinyl plus the beautiful remaster of a collaboration between Mariusz Duda and Steven Wilson on the 10th anniversary of “The Old Peace” penned by late Alec Wildey which is getting it's digital debut through Kscope.  

In this bumper episode we hear from Colin Edwin of O.R.k about their latest run of releases and since we also spoke to Richard Barbieri we took the opportunity to talk to them both about their time in Porcupine Tree and what it was like during the making of Fear Of A Blank Planet, a timely chat ahead of the release of and a 116 page hardback book 5 disc edition packed with rarities. Plus, Andy, Phil and Clark from the newest band to the label, Ihlo, talk to Billy Reeves about their excitement of having their debut album “Union” get the Kscope treatment with a beautiful CD and double LP out this week which is remastered by Acle Kahney of TesseracT. Ihlo are on tour this Autumn and getting along to see that will be a decision you will not regret!    

As we reach the end of summer in the UK, TesseracT are coming to the end of the latest leg of their mega tour which was in support of their album War of Being (which incidentally is a year old this week) so we thought we would have an overdue catch up with bassist Amos Williams about life on tour away from loved ones, making up for lost time and future plans.  This week also sees the release of "Powder Dry" the long awaited new album from Tim Bowness so we thought his song "Summer Turned" would be well placed in this episode falling on the cusp of Autumn.  You will also hear from The Radicant, Storm Corrosion and our most recent additions to Kscope IHLO   

Kscope are releasing the debut EP by The Radicant who you may know as Vincent Cavanagh, the former frontman of Anathema. The Radicant is a solo project of sorts which includes collaborators from many disciplines, informed in part by Vincent's composition work for recent multi-media installations by fine artists; so this is pop music presented as aural sculpture. The EP is out now, so it was time for Billy Reeves to catch up with the man himself, in a Grade II listed north London church, recommissioned as London's newest art gallery. Where else?!

Join us for episode 171 of the Kscope where our host Billy Reeves catches up with Tim Bowness ahead of his upcoming album “Powder Dry” which is out on 16th August. We will hear about his influences, collaborations and future plans and why he decided that Kscope was the label for him. There is also an opportunity to hear the first single from the highly anticipated EP from Ex Anathema front man Vincent Cavanagh's  new incarnation “The Radicant”   Kscope Website Tim Bowness Spotify Preorder the CD & Vinyl

Ex Africa Semper Aliquid Novi Roger Cressy is a fascinating guest, unlike any other we've had.  His jobs have spanned from retail management (yup, a department store, a really nice one – I've been there – and not the one in the States or the UK) to our Beloved Performance Management.Roger's is also a geographical journey, from Malawi/Nyasaland (he just missed the Central African Federation) to Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, to South Africa, to the United Kingdom, back to South Africa, and thence to the United States – I may have missed a few countries in that list and perhaps got the order wrong.Part of his peripatetic perambulation is an artefact of decolonization, the rest is a restless quest for opportunity.  Oddly, in person is a very calm man.I first met Roger through, unsurprisingly, ODTUG's Kscope.  Equally unsurprisingly given my stupendous memory, I don't remember the year or the city.  Such is the hurly-burly nature of a good conference.If you've not met him, Roger is tall (maybe it's that I'm shrinking, ah the joys of middle age) and has a beard of biblical proportions;  once met, he is indelibly remembered.Diversity in Every RespectRoger has a full life, more than most of us, safely ensconced in the West, and the places, roles, and people he's met have given him a unique and philosophical outlook on the business and technical world we all share.Have a listen to this fascinating episode.Be seeing you.

It's a Book, It's a Podcast Episode, It's KismetA bunch of geeks (native born, immigrants; Americans all) interviewing an Australian and a New Zealander/Australian/American (it's complicated) set Yr. Obt. Svt. to immediately think of the title of this podcast (eh, I need to get more than one hobby), who then looked up the phrase and found that…it's a travelogue of a New Zealander's view of the USA, circa 1888.  Seriously, what are the chances that the Mind of Cameron (often non compos mentis, invariably kind of wacky) and reality and a not half bad title smack up against each other?  This podcast episode was destiny realized. What then is the value of a Culture Clash episode where people-who-are-practically-Americans (ahem) are interviewed by-people-who-are-practically-Aussies-and-Kiwis?  I have noted that those who are closest and yet different are often the best observers, for they are alike enough to understand nuance but separate enough to not be blinded by a common mindset.Richard (the man of a million or so legitimate passports) and Pete (just the one country, but Godzone)  have lived/worked in the States.  Just what are their perceptions?  What are two very different (from the US-of-A) EPM markets like?I should note that Pete got me (I did do some of the work) the 2017 Best Kscope Essbase co-speaker award that I have always, always, always wanted.  My oh my, did I want that, did I ever think I deserved it – yes, cruel ego as it was always unfulfilled – and I never did get it till Pete and I did a presentation on Hybrid Essbase.  I will note that Pete has won multiple best speaker awards at Kscope, so I have a sneaking suspicion our joint award is 20% Cameron, 80% Pete but no matter, a win is a win.  I should also note that Kscope 2017 was my last Oracle conference as a speaker, so it made the reward all the sweeter.Richard graciously was my host at Flinders Uni way back in (I think) 2012 as part of an ODTUG conference tour of the Antipodes and facilitated (orchestrated?) an ODI/Essbase presentation at NZOUG.  My primary memory of that trip (I was in a constant state of jet lag) was dinner with Richard and a bunch of attendees and being stared at as a Real Life American geek, not commonly seen in the wild, sitting there eating his plate of spag bol, feeling more self-conscious than usual were that possible.  Oh well, I like to provide entertainment to all, no matter the cost.  Having the two of them on the show was and is a special treat.Not For The Faint of HeartFor those of delicate disposition, easily offended by adult words, mortally insulted by honest, open, and frank conversation, I fear you must put on your big boy/girl pants and buckle up.  We Americans, cultural descendants of the Puritans, beseeched our guests to tone down the language lest you, Gentle Listener, get a case of the vapors.  They mostly complied, but You Have Been Warned.  That takes care of the North Americans; the rest of the world won't care. Sensitivities aside, as always our guests are witty, insightful, and extremely interesting.Join us, won't you?

Ep 162: Bumper edition. Joint headliner - TesseracT & Bruce Soord JAMES MONTEITH and AMOS WILLIAMS of TESSERACT, talk about the future of live music, merch cuts and the brand new ways they found of working together in an old-fashioned studio on new LP WAR OF BEING. BRUCE SOORD talks how to choose which composition goes to his solo material or THE PINEAPPLE THIEF, his experience of recording strings at RAK Studio, turning 50 and how he uses his Spidey Sense on new album LUMINESCENCE. We also hear from ED WYNNE of OZRIC TENTACLES on entering the realm of music and hear the title track, LOTUS UNFOLDING, off the LP of the same name …and we'll hear the new single from MARIUSZ DUDA too!   Tracklist; - TESSERACT Legion & War of Being (from War of Being) OUT NOW - BRUCE SOORD Instant Flash of Light,  Olomouc & Lie Flat (from Luminescence) OUT NOW - OZRIC TENTACLES Lotus Unfolding (from Lotus Unfolding) 20th October 2023 - MARIUSZ DUDA Embracing the Unknown (from AFR AI D) 17th November 2023 For more on the Kscope podcast visit www.kscopemusic.com/podcasts FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA FACEBOOK www.facebook.com/Kscopemusic​​ INSTAGRAM www.instagram.com/kscopemusic TWITTER www.twitter.com/kscopemusic​​ WEBSITE www.kscopemusic.com

Our guests, conferences, and we're much the same but really quite differentThe second in EPM Conversations' Culture Clash series features two guests from Latin America:  David Blanco and Belen Ortiz.  I know both from conferences only.  Actually, all of my cohosts and all of our guests are, one way or another, part of EPM Conversations (and my life as well) because of conferences.  OneStream's Splash is coming up in just over a week, 17 to 20 April, ODTUG's Kscope is happening in Aurora, CO, 25 through 29 June.  If you work in either (or both) of these technology stacks, I encourage you to attend the conferences.  The sessions are key to our professional development; the networking is as well, cf. this podcast's existence.Is perception reality?  Let's hope not.  But maybe it is.This series has been from the perspective of North Americans (well, USAians) who try to understand our comrades in arms across the world.  What we (and by we I mean your hosts and of course you, our audience) learn is always interesting.  Sometimes the lessons are surprising. It turns out that The Simpsons are wildly popular in Latin America.  From Mexico (geographically North American but culturally part of Latin America) to Argentina (Latin America yes, but oriented towards Europe), The Simpsons are a prime American cultural export.Color me a bright pink for I am blushing.  A lot.  How mortifying:  what is possibly the most moronic television family in the US (stiff competition there) is how much of the world sees us.  At least it's with amusement.  And at least they don't equate us with Family Guy.My personal embarrassment aside (Yr. Obt. Svt. is the only host native-born, so my humiliation is greater than Celvin's and Tim's), it was hugely entertaining to hear how the show is a window into my homeland.  I note that despite watching The Simpsons both Belen (California) and David (uh oh, he lives in Canada, so perhaps …) speak warmly of the United States.Back to our guestsDavid  has been in the field roughly as long as I have.  It's always a pleasant trip to the past when I hear that someone worked for Comshare, the granddaddy of all Performance Management firms.  I can't remember if he started with Essbase or went back even further to System W (2,048 members per cube in total on a gigantic IBM 3084-Q64 System 360 MVS/TSO mainframe). Belen started out in computer security and serendipitously ended up in the Performance Management space.  Anti-virus expert to Essbase to all-rounder in EPM is quite the trip.  It was also interesting to hear about the Argentine approach to software licensing and IT good practices.  ¯_(ツ)_/¯Their show is witty, warm, and interesting by turns.  We your hosts, and you Dear Listener, are lucky to have them as comrades in arms in our Performance Management world.Join us, won't you?

THE TIME IS NOW for… The all new BIG SOUND Empyre and Klone have been scheming and plotting during lockdown (and the worst of the pandemic) and are now fit and ready to go! We hear from Henrik from the former on how they approach gigs both small and large as one has to at this point, i.e. festival crowds and support slots in big rooms, and. conversely. entertaining the packed sweaty club gigs. We sent Kscope's roving reporter Tris to catch up with Klone backstage (at the De La Warr Pavilion, one of the most quintessentially English venues), for some important advice on the advantages of the singer doubling up as the merch guy. PLUS music from the progenitors of THE BIG SOUND ™ - Anathema AND ALSO Steven Wilson & Aviv Geffen, collectively Blackfield from the astounding new 7-disc one-off book set… which is BIG.   Tracklist: Empyre - Waking Light, Parasites & Relentless (from Relentless) Blackfield - Pain (from An Accident of Stars: 2004 - 2017) Klone - Bystander (from Meanwhile) Anathema - Untouchable Part 1 (from Weather Systems)

Episode #154 - Into the Woods with Jonathan Hultén The pandemic accelerated the internet as a portal for musicians, but you need visuals too. No one does that better than guitarist, performer, songwriter, and animator JONATHAN HULTÉN. During lockdown as many retreated inward, he got outside and performed to the trees. The music from those sessions is out now as an audio + visual album, on vinyl, CD & DVD. Jonathan talks to Billy Reeves about Swedish roaming law, ‘The Forest Sessions' and what he plans next… Plus new singles from EMPYRE and KLONE, news of some excellent releases next door and, in keeping with the forest theme, some classic PORCUPINE TREE… Playlist: Jonathan Hultén - Wasteland, The Mountain and The Call to Adventure (Roadburn Version) (from The Forest Sessions) Klone - Bystander (new single+video) (from Meanwhile - 10.2.23) Empyre - Hit & Run (new single+video) (from Relentless - 31.3.23) Porcupine Tree - Lazarus (from Deadwing reissue on sister label Transmission - 3.3.23)   For more on the Kscope podcast visit http://www.kscopemusic.com/podcasts

What is a “half-speed master”? Can artificial intelligence write a hit? How have Gazpacho stayed together for 25 years? Are Norwegian winters that bad? Why are we obsessed with authenticity in art? Is the first time Roland Barthes has been mentioned on the Kscope podcast? All these questions answered by Thomas Anderson of Gazpacho, as the band are well into their vinyl audiophile re-issue campaign. Tunes from same, and a new Anathema half-speed master, a new-to-vinyl O.R.k, and a new signing…

A long overdue long-form catch-up with Jon Gomm and some sustenance for your stylus - a Kscope vinyl re-stock.

Many years ago (just over 10!), Yr. Obt. Svt. wrote a blog post on why he Hated and Loved Calculation Manager.  I even did it twice.  I am – oft times, still, it continues unabated – a complete smartass who pays little heed to what he says and writes and this was most definitely one of those times.  These posts were a continuation of not altogether terrifically awesome judgement as they were an expansion of a similarly-snarky two parter on Hyperion Business Rules.  2009?  2012?  My, but the time does fly. So that's four snide technical blog posts on two closely related Oracle products.  As is typical and as has been noted, I performed zero thought on any potential consequences that might arise from click-bait (was that even a term in 2009?) titles:  Oracle could have gotten annoyed and come down on my head with a bag of hammers or they could have ignored it and hoped that no one read my posts or they could have read it, realized that (somehow) there was a little value in it and reached out to me so that in future my posts on this subject weren't complete and unmitigated garbage/were improved in their content, focus, and quality.  The latter is exactly what happened and it did so in the person of Sree Menon, the EPM Calculation Manager Development Manager, aka Calc Man.No one at Oracle had ever spoken to me outside of Kscope; certainly no one on the development side of the house (I believe that at the time Sree was both Product and Development Manager of Calculation Manager although my memory is fuzzy on this) had ever interacted with me in any form.  Sree was helpful, open, and friendly.  He wanted Oracle's tools to be better used, he wanted me to better understand it, and he surely wanted me to write better blog posts.  All three occurred, and they occurred because of Sree's thoughtful approach, despite my artless approach to all things Calculation Manager.  Yes, I am a huge fan.And I think you will be as well as you listen to Sree's episode.  His professional journey has taken a few twists and turns that you may be familiar with (Have you ever wondered who wrote Essbase Application Manager?  Wonder no more.) and you'll get a true developer's perspective on what it takes to make the tools we use. Join us, won't you?

This week is our 7th installment of, “Degrees Of Separation…” where we discuss the more obscure side projects and solo releases from some not-so-obscure artists. This week we were touched by the spirit of radio! That's right: RUSH! We had to dig deep to get songs from these 3 Canadian phenoms outside of the mighty RUSH. Known for their hectic schedule and amazing work ethic of record-tour-record-tour throughout their 40+ year career, we were able to cobble together some unique songs outside their main gigs. Hope ya dig!New to InObscuria? It's all about excavating obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal from one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. While we may be talking about bands that you know intimately in this episode, perhaps you are not aware of the depth of side projects they have had over their long careers. Our hope is that we turn you on to something new!Songs this week include:Victor – “Start Today” from Victor (1996)I Mother Earth – “Good For Sule” from Blue Green Orange (1999)Jeff Berlin & Vox Humana – “Champion (Of The World)” from Champion (1985)Platinum Blonde – “Crying Over You” from Alien Shores (1985)The Big Dirty Band – “I Fought The Law” from Trailer Park Boys: The Movie Soundtrack (2006)Vertical Horizon – “Instamatic” from Echoes From The Underground (2013)Envy Of None – “Spy House” from Envy Of None (2022)Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://twitter.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!: https://www.redbubble.com/people/InObscuria?asc=uIf you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/

In Kscope 146 Mariusz Duda (Riverside, Lunatic Soul) and Bruce Soord (The Pineapple Thief) find themselves in contemplative, nostalgic mood due to the pandemic, looking back at their younger selves. Mariusz through his Lockdown Trilogy project, recorded in isolation, inspired by the Euro-electronica of his youth (Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis and Tangerine Dream) and Bruce/The Pineapple Thief's re-wired/re-worked LP Give It Back, featuring re-recorded, re-wired material with Gavin Harrison (featuring lyrical updates; bringing the stories told therein up-to-date too). We'll hear from both Mariusz and Bruce herein. PLUS brand new music from the forthcoming Ed Wynne (Ozric Tentacles) album, a gorgeous track from the Jon Gomm album The Faintest Idea and, talking of abstract electronica, the guvnors, Tangerine Dream – a teaser from the spectacular book-set of La Divina Commedia.

Natalie Delemar and I – as with so many others in the performance management space – first met Elizabeth Ferrell at a conference, in this case ODTUG's Kscope. Elizabeth's path to her current job, focus, and professional interests evinces the typical path from school, to finance, not-at-all-usual hobby, and now to our beloved performance management community.But to characterize Elizabeth as typical is to do her an injustice or perhaps just inaccuracy on Yr. Obt.  Svt.'s part.  As evidence of that (beyond of course this EPM Conversation episode) is to have a read of Elizabeth's thoughtful article on the state of your – ours – work satisfaction and what we do with that. Her episode is just as thoughtful.Join us, won't you?
