Glad I saw this and read the article.  Think I kinda knew a bit of it but explains the breakup much clearer.   BTW I think this is one of the first albums / songs I heard on RP many years ago.  Put me on a path of buying most of their CD's and seeing them live twice.     cool stuff

When I recently saw them on their Closure/Continuation tour, Steven Wilson alluded to the time when he was disappointed that they never had a hit single —- but that he wasn't anymore.
IIRC, he mentioned "Trains" and "Lazarus" (?) as coming closest.

The Sound of Muzak first caught my ear years ago. That was a pretty big hit as well, quite unusual.
