Kscope

Established in the late 1990s, the label was initially used exclusively by Wilson and Porcupine Tree. When Snapper Music acquired the earlier Porcupine Tree recordings from Delerium Records in 2006, a re-release programme was rolled out. At the same time, talks began to expand the remit of the label, and Wilson suggested to "have [it] for releasing only new music. Just go after some of these [post progressive] bands and model yourselves on those old ’70s labels, like Harvest and Vertigo, [who] would allow artists to develop both musically and with a fan base over a period of albums”. A number of re-releases included the first solo album, Things Buried, by Richard Barbieri in 2007. In 2008 the band Anathema made their debut on the label with album Hindsight, while Lunatic Soul from Poland and the Italian band Nosound were added to the roster. The label packages their albums in elaborate digibooks, super jewel cases or digipacks with additional DVD material, In April 2014 the label released the Homo Erraticus album by Ian Anderson, which reached #14 in the UK album chart. Kscope have a monthly podcast hosted by Billy Reeves, which features new music and interviews from artists on the label. == Signed artists ==
