Well, I commented to Ogg that they sounded a touch like they were inspired by Pink Floyd.


I definitely liked the song I got to play....The Sleep of no Dreaming.

Up the Downstair came and I listened to it. Yikes! It is gooooooooood! And happily it came with Staircase Infinities. Always Never is cool and I love Up the Downstair. I shall listen to it again and the second cd. I now have 4 cds already. :-D Thanks to my other half, The Devil's Advocate, for getting me into them.
I love my Welshman.

I'll send more asap mate as I've found my mp3 versions the now. The most recent albums 'Deadwing' and 'In Absentia' are a good starting point...then work backwards like me.

Well its been six weeks solid PT and I still havent heard enough or listened to/scrutinised all the albums. There is such a wealth of material available one could easily gorge for years. Current 'find' is 'Recordings' from '01.

Porcupine Tree Recordings
(Boxset/Compilation, 2001)

Track listing
1. Buying New Soul (10:24)
2. Access Denied (3:35)
3. Cure For Optimism (6:11)
4. Untitled (8:53)
5. Disappear (3:37)
6. Ambulance Chasing (6:32)
7. In Formaldehyde (5:19)
8. Even Less (13:55)
9. Oceans Have No Memory (3:06)

A collection of b sides etc and a full fourteen minute version of 'Even Less' which is basically a more modern 'Floyd, perfection. The opening track 'Buying New Soul' is sublime and it's supposedly an out-take!

Porcupine Tree: Buying New Soul


Dried up, a guitar upon my knee
I should have sold out when the devil came for me
Dig a hole and throw it out to sea
Break the code, how happy I could be
I still wave at the dots on the shore
And I still beat my head against the door
I still rage and wage my little war
I'm a shade and easy to ignore
White wall, I had to paint a door
I always find that I've been through it before
Close it up and throw away the key
Break the code, how happy I could be
I woke up and I had a big idea
To buy a new soul at the start of every year
I paid up and it cost me pretty dear
Here's a hymn to those that disappear .

This is a link to the Devil's Advocate's website in his music section. He has a list of Porcupine Tree music he has collected. Just in case there are a few albums you didn't know were around. :-)

Yay! I do believe I now have the majority of PT's recorded works, more in a minute. After browsing DA's cool site I figured I still have the 'Four Chords' limited edition single to find but I have the song anyway.

I finally found the dts version of 'Deadwing' with the three bonus tracks (Ive heard theres a fourth hidden dts version of 'shemovedon'?) with 'revenant' 'half light' and the long awaited 'mother and child divided'. I've been after 'mother and child' for a while having been into the live version from the 'live at rockpalast' concert dvd.

Here's what I have so far: (no paticular order, reading from folder)

BBC Sessions
Coma Divine
In Absentia*
Lightbulb Sun
Metanoia
On the sunday of life
Recordings
Signify*
Stars Die-Delerium Years
Futile ep
Moonloop unedited ep
Staircase Infinities
Stupid Dream
Sky moves sideways
Up the Downstair
Voyage 34 complete trip
Warszawa
Deadwing*
XM transmisson 1:1
XM Transmission II
'Rockpalast' live dvd audio rip (by me)

Two PT boots
10/6/06 Holland
21/4/06 Germany

Dvd/Dvd-A
'Live at Rockpalast'05 concert dvd (tv transmission)
In Absentia dts
Deadwing dts

Blackfield
Bass Communion II
IEM

Opeth 'Damnation' (Steve Wilson produces and guests)

There is a Steve Wilson covers album available somewhere (a track aired on his 'my space' page)
that I'd love to find and a few others no doubt. All of these I have in mp3 with quite a few in the flac 1:1 lossless copy format. I own the few with the denoted *. I intend to buy them all. Still cant find a t-shirt anywhere though.
I think thats about it.

Did you get this version of Stupid Dream? It's supposed to have a lot more goodies and I know Dan gets these notices earlier than I do. It won't be released in the states until August. It was supposed to be this month but they changed the plan! ARRRGH! :x

Porcupine Tree are a fantastic band.

I fell in love with their last two albums "Deadwing" and "In Absentia".

The stand out tracks for me are :

Blackest Eyes
The Sound Of Muzak
Shallow
Lazarus
Arriving Somewhere But Not Here


I can't wait for the new DVD "Arriving Somewhere...." to be released.

Have you seen the video concert from the Rockpalast yet? It's brilliant.
