The Harmony Codex' - the seventh album by Steven Wilson - takes you on a trip. A genre-spanning collection that opens up like a musical puzzle box, it presents a series of endlessly beautiful vistas that roll out and shift in front of you. Arguably the best album Wilson has made during a career that's spanned more than three decades both as a band leader and as a solo artist, it represents the apotheosis of a life spent fully absorbed in music. While 'The Harmony Codex' nods to records from Steven Wilson's recent past, at times echoing the paranoid rumble of 2008's 'Insurgentes', the crystalline electronics of 2021's 'The Future Bites' and the expansive storytelling of 2013's 'The Raven That Refused To Sing (and Other Stories)', here he has managed to create something entirely unique, a record that exists outside of the notion of genre.
