Any heard of Porcupine Tree?


They're like a cross between Floyd, King Crimson and old Genesis. Been fairly big in Europe. Just starting to catch on in the states. On tour here right now. Mind blowing shows. They have release a dozen os so records, mostly under indie lables, but a lot is being re-mastered and I saw 4 or 5 at Boarders. Give Stupid Dream or The Sky Moves Sideways a try. It's progressive in'05.

That's what I love about you Ralph, an excellent designer and state of the art guy that LOVES music.

Not many around like you, thanks for the many music software comments over the last few days.
Musical artists and performances are probably more preferential than gear is.

Having said that, i purchased Lightbulb Sun by Porcupine Tree based on many of the raves i read about the band / disc on the net. After listening to it at least a dozen time, it never really did anything for me. It's kind of vague and bland, not even suitable for enjoyable background music in my opinion. Obviously, i'm in the minority here, but i'm kinda used to that : ) Sean

funny, I have 'In Absentia' on my list of stuff to buy after hearing it on my local college radio station.

thanks guys I will go ahead with that!
In Absentia just doesn't do anything for me, and because of it I haven't been motivated to buy Deadwing. Before In Absentia I was buying everything they produced. My favorites are 1) Sky Moved Sideways, followed by a tie at 2) Signify and Stupid Dream. Recordings is also excellent.
