I can definitely relate about Steven Wilson. I wouldn't call him my idol, that honor would go to Nobuo Uematsu, the composer for most Square/Square Enix games, but yeah - the guy's a genius and Porcupine Tree are one of my favorite bands ever.
I'm currently working on a CD of my own, too. I have three songs ready for it, all of which are on my blog, if you want to check them out. They're Solitary Mind, Hollow and The Eyes of Autumn. It's gonna be an ambient/symphonic disc.
Also, SC2 commentary as a way to advertise your music is a pretty good idea. I'm not nearly a good enough player for that, but I've been thinking of doing some film or video game reviews on the side as a way to advertise.
