"Eventually, I'll be in California
physically....."
That alone makes me give this song a 10.
Nice.
Cranked!
Props to Bill and Rebecca for making decisions which allow stellar delivery of high-quality tunes!
I wish he would change his mind about Japan.
Me too. If I like Richard Barbieri's solo, more ambient-sounding material, will I like Japan?
So, what does OSI stand for, anyone know? Obsessive Sex Interest?
per wiki:
OSI is an American progressive experimental supergroup formed by Fates Warning guitarist Jim Matheos in 2003. The name refers to the short-lived US government agency Office of Strategic Influence which was established shortly after 9/11 to manufacture and promote pro-US propaganda in domestic and foreign media.

Actually I have no idea. Sit up and listen. 8

The song is gr(8)
I agree. It just sounds like he couldn't be bothered to come up with a real rhyme.
Hey Relayer, Thanks for the effort. And thanks to the music deities that Bill seems capable of changing his mind....

Hey Relayer, Thanks for the effort. And thanks to the music deities that Bill seems capable of changing his mind. And thanks for the suggestion, 'cause PT fan I am.
In passing, I hear some sonic space similarity to Led Zeppelin's No quarter but otherwise the songs are so different, I don't get the comparison.
This song is growing.
Good call.
Inane yet puerile
Cool...yet sinister. This song gives me the willies, always a good sign. 7 from the Nottingham jury.
...yes, OSI is primarly a collaboration between jim matheos and kevin moore, the latter of whom is chroma key...
...incidentally, this is probably the weakest track on the album, which is outstanding on the whole, the last two tracks of which especially flow with awesome tension...
Yeah. Understated but meaningful. Beautiful electro music.
I love it, really dark, haunting, excellent lyrics.
Are you sure blotto? Seems like folks are hearing No Quarter all over the place these days.
Some of this reminds me a little of Richard Barbieri's solo material or Massive Attack.
I've been going through the sampler on Amazon and you really do hear the keyboards from No Quarter in the 20 or so seconds of this song.
Not sure I hear the connection to Porcupine Tree but I'll definitely pay attention. Upload some more.
Steven Wilson was on the group's debut CD. Gavin Harrison (PT) guests on this one.

Hipster elevator music.
I want to work in that building...

You must have "planted the seed", because I uploaded it recently and they added it to the library right away (with no LRC review - never seen that happen before!)
O.S.I. is amazing - I think much of it is a bit heavy for RP, but as you said, anyone who is a PT fan (or Dream Theater or Fates Warning, former members of which make up O.S.I.) should definitely check them out.
Thanks anyway for the upload...great song, I bought it straight after my first listen
Thought i was hearing a new Alan Parsons Project song...
I thought it was Underworld.
There is the same effect on the keyboards, but that's about it. Nothing else remotely resembles No Quarter.
Still... as the rest of you heard, the first thing I heard was No Quarter as well.
I think... more than a commentary on anything else... it says something about the uniqueness of John Paul Jones keyboard part.
The wind blows hard and don't you know, the winds of Thor are blowing cold...
Yeah, I can hear it. Nice mellow song.
exactly!
That was the name I was searching for... no quarter... those guys don't fly even with a balloon.

i can't not.
Ditto
That's what OSI sounds like, sort of a melodic energetic drone.
It's good to hear them again!
