Former Japan/Rain Tree Crow and current Porcupine Tree keyboardist Richard Barbieri steps out with his second proper solo album Stranger Inside on K Scope Records.  Although this is primarily Barbieri’s show, he is joined by Japan cohort, percussionist Steve Jansen with additional programming and arrangements as well as mixing duties.  Porcupine Tree front man Steven Wilson mastered the recording, lending his unique sonic sensibilities to the project.  Barbieri also employs vocal samples courtesy of his wife Suzanne and no-man leader Tim Bowness.
