Porcupine Tree fans.

[ratm_for_reading]

I never really listened to the album Fear of a Blank planet even though someone uploaded it here before, so last night i listened and im like OMG :eek: SO SO good.

Anything else similar you can recommend or an order of albums to get ?

cheers

[Demanufacture]

In Absentia is the next one to go for definitely!
I'll upload it now cos I'm nice. :)

[ratm_for_reading]

cheers man, I think ashes has got to be one of my new favourite songs, track to off fear of a blank planet. For a british singer his voice is perfect

[Demanufacture]

Just wait until you hear Collapse The Earth Into Light off in absentia, perfect album closing track not to mention Trains, Blackest Eyes, Heartattack in a layby oh fuck it, the whole album is PERFECT :D

[Demanufacture]

17 minutes apparently, I'll post a link when its done.

[ratm_for_reading]

cool :) thank you

[Talo^N]

in abenstias pretty top notch
stupid dream is totally underated imo, absoultely amazingly album. infact their all amazing in different ways. STILL HAVE TO SEE THEM LIVE! damn it

[ratm_for_reading]

Yeah I can imagine seeing them live would be fantatic, this music is wonderful it makes me feel kind of how I feel when I listen to that electronic band Underworlds music, but in a different musical form. I just love how everything is delivered

[Talo^N]

theyre the kinda band you just can put on, lean back in your chair, close your eyes and float away. check out some of the blackfield stuff if you havent already, bit different but also very good

Cracking album, I'll put up another one if you want? Pick whatever sounds best off the list.
Deadwing - More metal/rock influenced than the earlier stuff but with some typical PT on it. Has Halo and Lazarus on it which are the top 2 songs people know by PT.
Lightbulb Sun - Kind of a slower more relaxed album, some very claustrophobic lyrics as the name suggests it's about social reclusiveness but also swipes at cults (Last Chance To Evacuate Planet Earth Before It Is Recycled) and Oasis (4 Chords That Made A Million)
Stupid Dream - Probably the most accessible PT album and apparently Steven Wilsons favourite of the early ones. Kinda Indie in place but some brilliant tracks on there.
Or I'll just crack you up a .rar with a few tracks off each album.

[ratm_for_reading]

I love whoever does the string arrangements its fantabulous :)

Stupid Dream is an awesome album, it is my lifes ambition to see them do Tinto Brass live. Saw Stupid Kid when I saw them in November and they did Sky Moves Sideways Phase One which was so fucking orgasmic its untrue.

It's all Steven Wilson up until Stupid Dream I think it was he used a drum machine and did all the other parts himself.

[ratm_for_reading]

wow, one bloke. He must of studied music theory. I mean some of the scales being used and how he composes the songs are really intelligent.

[Demanufacture]

He is absolutely amazing, esecially when you hear how different each album is. Voyage 34 for example is a concept album, one piece of music in 4 phases representing an LSD trip.

[ratm_for_reading]

sounds very Rush/Pink Floyd-esque when you describe it like that.

I cnt put my figner onit but their is something very different to alot of prog bands with porcupine tree :confused: and i like it

[Demanufacture]

Voyage 34 is VERY Pink Floyd, scarily so infact.

[Talo^N]

just been going thru my discrography and i would be torn as hell to pick a worst album out of them all...sure theres a few songs that dont tickel my fancy, but as a whole every albums fundementally different but doesnt loose any of the aamzingness.

[Talo^N]

whats your favourite songs?
mines gotta be Trains followed by Piano lessons.

Two fine choices mine is outrightly Anesthetize, then probably Sysnesthesia.

Arguably Metatonia is my least favourite album, altho mesmer III is funny just for the "that's really evil"

[Demanufacture]

Dan, have you heard the We Lost The Skyline EP yet?
It's good but not what I was hoping for, it's an acoustic set but some of the songs chosen weren't really thought through properly I don't think :(

[Talo^N]

nope i havent, i kinda forgot porcupine tree existed after the null recuring ep, picked up fear of blank planet briefly, but didnt even realise there was a new ep out.

edit: just looked it up on wiki, got some good tracks on it, but some of them acoustic sounds a tad odd...

[Demanufacture]

No kidding, Normal goes straight into the "Wish I was only a little, sentimental" bit.
Fail :(
Waiting works tho :D

[Demanufacture]

Cheers Dan, Love Death and Mussolini I believe ended up on either the first album or the delerium years.

[Talo^N]

r great :) im sorted for awhile. my lonely 40 tracks on HD just went to 180 odd. Ive got 6-7 albums at home just forgot to rip em before coing to uni

[nikrees]

I have not much more to add than I <3 porcupine tree and that Trains gets my vote for top song. I use it a lot of work to EQ the room :)

[Talo^N]

i do love how every 3-4 months theres a porcupine tree appreciation thread here, the one band ive seen consistently appreciated over the past ...shit 4 years... of posting on here. it makes me happy :).
And on that note ive just redisocvered hwo good 4 chords that made a million is as a song.

[Demanufacture]

Yeah, I love Lightbulb Sun, absolutely cracking album How Is Your Life Today is brilliant, I love the melody's in the la da da daaa bit.

[Talo^N]

well just finished listening to the new ep twice thru, first time i waas just going ARGH wtf, but its grown on me, if you just take it as basically new songs and forget how the next bit should be coming in its rele good. I love the trains acoustic now ,Is it me or has his voice gained.....something ......smoother? maybe its just the recording.

[Demanufacture]

Yeah after a second listen it grew on me too, could have been better tho imo :(
I'll agree tho, Stevens voice does sound better live.

[chemical_illusions]

ive never listened to this band but they have an awesome name. what music is it.

[Demanufacture]

Depends what album you go for, Trains is a fan favourite and pretty accessible.

[cyberdrummer]

I've seen them live 4 times now, and they get better each time.

Lightbulb Sun is my favourite album of theirs.

[DirtyFrank]

This thread explains everything good to ever come out of my home town :p

[Epic_Win]

Amazing band.

[Talo^N]

bringing the thread back
