I want to get The Incident next, and I think I also want Signify since Dark Matter is such an amazing song to me. That is the very first PT song I ever heard, and it holds 'that' torch.

Natch Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I only recently started listening to PT. I had heard of them a few times in the past, but I can't remember if I ever gave them a listen. Well, a few weeks ago, after reading through this thread, I bought the Deadwing album. I was totally blown away! These guys are very good. In addition to Deadwing, I have FOBP, In Absentia, The Incident, and Stupid Dream. I'll be adding to that list soon. Thanks to all of you who made recommendations and gave their opinions. If it wasn't for this thread, I might not have ever given PT a listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandDesigner Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 It's amazing how unique a vibe they had pre-In Absentia. IA is probably my favorite album of theirs but they lost that great psychedelic vibe they had on the earlier albums completely by then. The Incident feels a bit more in that direction than FOABP or DW which is probably why I love it so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Matter from Signify is the very first song I heard from them, and the floaty psychodelic lush sound is what grabbed me.

I'm rather envious of the way Steven allows his music to expand in unfold in such a natural way. I've used him as an inspiration a lot in helping me develop songs more fully instead of being so compact and time/space-conscious with them. Early PT is amazing stuff. Cure For Optimism, The Sky Moves Sideways, Stars Die, Always Never, Burning Sky, Buying New Soul, Sleep Of No Dreaming, Dark Matter, and Voyage 34 are my favorite early PT songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Owl Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 For those looking to adventure going into the realms of early PT... I would reccomend, as I have before, the "Stars Die: The Delerium Years 1991-1997" compilation" or the Live album "Coma Devine" both great early PT tasters.

I can almost guarantee, the more you hear to more you'll like them. And, imo you picked a really good place to start. In an interview with Colin Edwin, their bass player, he said he would recommend The Incident to anyone new to Porcupine Tree since it represents everything the band has done to date. Anyway, enjoy the journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush! Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 I agree with GrandDesigner in that they've lost a lot of the overall psychedelic vibes they had going in the 90s... But they have began to retain some of it with FoaBP... I am also a big fan of the "psychedelic years". Just adore The Sky Moves Sideways & Signify...
