I think I'll listen to Raven later today. Such a great album.
Blackfield IV is very mellow and synth/string driven. It has a couple good songs but a little too mellow for my tastes. Steven Wilson does not have that big a role on it. Though he playing some European dates with Blackfield next month.

Gfd blows the raven out of the water in my opinion. Raven sounds very good, if you like the 70s prog sound. it's not bad by any means but gfd sounds much fresher and breathier.
I love this album. SW uses all the tricks he's accumulated over the years, and put's them together to create something really nice. It's all I have listened to this past week. We are inseparable.
I'd go with grace, i sort of missed out on the first one but i got into the 2nd one and wow, revelation. and then i saw him live on the raven tour and wow again, what a great musician/artist he is.
