Please buy any album of theirs. It's the only music that both amazes me on a technical level and makes me cry. The musicianship, production, even lyrics...all amazing.
Any Porcupine Tree fans here???

Voyage 34 always a winner... The earlier stuff (Up the Down Stair, On the Sunday of Life, Voyage 34, etc) is the better stuff. The later stuff is a bit wishy washy. Saw them live and they were good, but a bit proggy. Didn't help that there was only about a dozen people there. They probably played their crappy stuff just to spite us :D

I don't know why they aren't more well-known. It's so depressing.
Best album, imo, is "in Absentia".

Only heard one song on MTV 2 late at night, and thought it was cool. Remembered them for having an interesting name.

Yeah I remember them by name. Don't think I've heard them. Or maybe I have. Perhaps I have I can't remember. Suppose to be a bit like Ozrics. Or the poor man's Ozrics at least.

man of taste! they are the best band no-ones heard of . i got hooked mid-last year, i had lightbulb sun for a little while and i then chanced across most of their back catalogue in a music exchange shop and the rest is history - i own almost every cd now i think . the new stuff is great as is the older stuff , its great that they can evolve musically and still have such a high standard of music!

Interesting. Might need to check them out. Certainly a British band with British following. No one in the States seems to have ever heard of them. Lol.

i'm dling them right now........ i was expecting electronic
but this is quite good, i agree i don't know why they aren't as known as they shoudl be.
kind of reminds me of the new opeth has anyone heard it??? it's allllll toned down melodic stuff - no more screaming.

the reason it reminds you of opeth is cos brian wilson (aka the man behind porcupine tree) produced the last opeth album . i got it and it certainly is mellow - dunno if it will stand up to repeated listening ltho

I need to check them out again. They were recommended to me like 6 or 7 years ago or something. I recall them being like Ozrics. I must check them. Sounds promising.

yeah he produced new Opeth. I personally prefer their new sound, harder rock (when it's relentlessly hard, at least) just annoys me. weird, because i can bear hard electronic drill n bass.

they are marvellous - i have almost all their stuff on vinyl.. they must have a bit of a following because their records go for quite good money on ebay and stuff.
Sunday of life is marvellous, as are both the voyage 34 records

i just got hold of signify and suddenly realized i'd heard it before! probably about 6 years ago, something that i initially dismissed now sounds amazing.
