If so, what? and How did you like it? My brother lent me ...On the Sunday of Life. It's the most Ben Reed non-Ben Reed music I've ever heard. I recommended it to Ben Reed and he listened to Tarquin's Seaweed Farm instead. (Which I haven't heard.) He didn't like it. Furthermore, he's scared of me showing him more Porcupine Tree because he hates Japan, Richard Barbieri's old band. I LOVE ...On the Sunday of Life. It's brilliant music, and I like how it's more varied than your average Porcupine Tree record. There are some albums I like more, and some I like less, but all of them are at least a 9/10 for me.

Actually, from my understanding, "On the Sunday of Life" was actually a compilation of the better songs off of "Tarquin's Seaweed Farm", and "The Nostalgia Factory" which were originally cassettes that Steven Wilson released by himself under the name "Porcupine Tree"...

Yes that's correct. But back then, Steven Wilson WAS Porcupine Tree. And he continued to be so even when he got his band, which was originally just a touring band. And of course, even now, Porcupine Tree and Porcupine Tree's touring band are two different things. Because the band is a four-piece, but live they play with John Wesley as well (whose only contribution on any of the albums is backing vocals on Fear of a Blank Planet) who, to my understanding, has been playing live with the band since Gavin Harrison joined. ...On the Sunday of Life isn't JUST a compilation. SOME of the songs are re-recorded. Like one or two, I think. And even if it's a compilation in the way it was put together, it's still the first released album by Porcupine Tree. It counts.

Pagon Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I just want more blackfield music. Those two cd's are brilliant. I'm sure that band is over and done with cause Steve is one busy player. I love the live DVD they did in NYC. I want more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sullysue Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Steven Wilson is featured in the January 2010 issue of Guitar Player Magazine.

He and PT are also heavily featured in the Dec. 2009 issue of Sound & Vision, which IMO is the best home theater enthusiast magazine. There are three articles: one about the surround releases of The Incident and the three classic King Crimson albums which Steven remixed, an interview with Steven about his approach to remixing those Crimson albums, and one written by Steven himself about which classic albums he'd love to see remixed in multichannel surround (including Moving Pictures).

Rush! Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 PT have been compared to Pink Floyd in the past, and a lot of people mention the similarities to this day. I have to agree, both bands have a kind of psychedelic feel to them, but I know Steven Wilson himself doesn't like the label. Not that he doesn't like Floyd, he just wants to do his own thing and not be slapped with a label by critics and listeners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's typical of any artist I suppose. By the way, the way this group harmonizes reminds me of a 70s band....kind of CSNY but I thought of Moody Blues or Yes as well. Can't quite put my finger on it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
