Musician and producer Steven Wilson's 'Nostalgia For Childhood' playlist

Musician and producer Steven Wilson curates a "Nostalgia For Childhood" playlist, featuring tracks by Tears For Fears, Virginia Astley, XTC and more.

Born in London and raised in Hemel Hempstead in the UK, Steven Wilson developed an interest in music as a child and was heavily influenced by Pink Floyd. His dad built him a multi-track tape machine when he was 12, which allowed him to start experimenting with sound. He formed two bands in 1986, No Man and Porcupine Tree, both of which came to define much of his career. His music covers everything from rock, to ambient, to electro pop, and he’s worked with Elton John, Guns N' Roses, XTC, Pendulum, Yes, Marillion, and Black Sabbath. He’s just released his 7th solo album The Harmony Codex.

His playlist "Nostalgia for Childhood" features tracks by Tears For Fears, Virginia Astley, XTC and more.
