I was turned on to them a few years back at my dealers showroom. We were just listening to music and he said, "hey your a Pink Floyd fan, let me play this for you" , the put on The Sky Moves Sideways. I listened about 2 minutes and asked "is this Pink Floyd I just don't recall this track" he then handed me the album jacket and I was hooked. I think Steve Wilson is a geniuses an artist and engineer. I think they pick up where PF leaves off and add a new creative flavor Waters and Gilmour never tapped. No dis respect to PF intended, they are still my fav's. But PT is a worthwhile investment and Steve Wilson's solo work as well as Blackfield are just as good.
Suddenly, Porcupine Tree
I have always been a Beetles, Stones, Springsteen, Young etc fan. You could throw in Yes, ELO, Pretenders, Dead and many more. You get the idea. I bought a porcupine tree album a few yrs ago gave it a spin and that was that. Did not get it. Recently I gave it another spin. Now suddenly I own everything they have done and starting on solo stuff. My favorite but not limited to, "stupid dreams". I now can not get enough of this band. What happened. Did I just get older? Like a "lightbulb sun" going off in my head. If you do not know this band get to know them. Anything I am missing? Other favorite albums of Porcupine? Other bands similar experience with?
