Default Current take on King Crimson's "Lizard"

Check out this new 24+ minute track from Steven Wilson "Raider II." It is from his current solo album "Grace for Drowning." The whole album and especially this track remind of King Crimson's "Lizard," but better.

Steven Wilson is the front man for Porcupine Tree. He is also quickly becoming the go-to guy for producing and remastering progressive rock albums. He just remastered Tull's Aqualung, and the entire Crimson back catalog, including "Lizard," which I"m sure he took some inspiration from for this album and especially this track. I'm tempted to buy the remastered version of "Lizard" now. Does anyone have it?

Here is "Raider II". Really amazing song in my book...
