Open Mind: The Best Of Blackfield is a definitive 2018 compilation spanning the first five studio albums of the acclaimed collaboration between Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) and Israeli rock star Aviv Geffen. Published via the Kscope label, this collection highlights the "art of the classic pop song," moving away from complex progressive structures toward concise melodies and lush, "golden" production.
The album serves as a perfect entry point for newcomers and a must-have for collectors, showcasing the duo’s ability to blend moody atmospheric rock with sophisticated pop sensibilities. Listeners can expect a mix of piano-led refrains, soaring vocal harmonies, and orchestral arrangements that define the Blackfield sound.
Key features of this release include:
- Broad Career Overview: Features highlights from the 2004 debut through to 2017’s Blackfield V.
- Standout Tracks: Includes the atmospheric title track "Open Mind," the heavy stomp of "Kashmir"-esque riffs, and fan favorites like "1,000 People," "Oxygen," and "October."
- Expert Production: Masterfully mixed and produced by Steven Wilson, blending post-pop, classical, and subtle progressive rock influences.
- Melodic Excellence: Focuses on strong verse-chorus traditions with a "Wall of Sound" keyboard approach from Geffen and David Gilmour-inspired guitar work from Wilson.
Whether you are a die-hard Steven Wilson completist or a fan of melancholic, high-production rock, Open Mind captures the very best of this unique musical partnership.
