Maples Oaks and Porcupine Trees Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 QUOTE (Soni @ Oct 29 2009, 04:35 PM) any Voyage 34 fans here? I love it, even though it's not a real album it works as one. I like this: Addendum: the album would be an A+ without the narratives. I find them too distracting. I just want to listen to the great jam sessions and space rock moments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maples Oaks and Porcupine Trees Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 QUOTE (Pags @ Oct 31 2009, 06:17 AM) QUOTE (GrandDesigner @ Oct 31 2009, 10:05 AM) 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. Dark Matter from Signify is the very first song I heard from them, and the floaty psychodelic lush sound is what grabbed me. But then I heard the more recent stuff and I haven't been able to stop listening. I need to dive more into the earlier material now. Dark Matter was the second song I heard by PT. I listened to it several times a day for a month when I first heard it. Couldn't get enough of it. I still enjoy it! The quality of the mix and effects on that song are perfect!

Maples Oaks and Porcupine Trees Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 QUOTE (The Owl @ Nov 18 2009, 06:00 PM) I know Im sounding like a broken record here, but have any of you newbies tried any early PT yet? If so, what? and How did you like it? This is a poor recording (compared to their later stuff), but it has some great jam sessions! The added artwork by grafika adds to the mood of the song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEDlljtv7xU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maples Oaks and Porcupine Trees Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 One of the best things about PT is Wilson's harmonies and overdubs of his own voice on songs like Drown With Me and Octane Twisted. Fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait!!!!!!!!! Good skills. I'm well stoked for you!! It's going to be so great. I'll take off early from work and we'll head downtown as early as we can. Have some dinner somewhere cool, and then get to HOB early so we can trample people to get up front. We've got it all planned out. Me and my boy. If you get on line early enough you should have no problem getting near the front. For the NYC show there were a bunch of people ahead of us and we still got close to the front. Oh, there will be no "near" the front, my friend. We will be the front. I want to be close enough to see straight up Steven Wilson's nostrils. ETMI!

Maples Oaks and Porcupine Trees Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Nine Cats is so much fun! 9. Nine Cats [Lyrics: Alan Duffy / Music: Steven Wilson] The butterfly sailed on the breeze Past a field of barbed wire trees Where golden dragons chased around Pampered poppies on the ground Two silver trout sat way on high And watched a royal samurai Plant two black orchids in a box And strap it to a laughing fox A minstrel bought a crooked spoon He gave it to a blue baboon Who filled it full of virgin snow And watched it in the afterglow Fat toad stood in his ballet shoes Teaching sixteen kangaroos How to skip across a lake They found it hard to stay awake A pharaoh played a merry tune And watched nine cats dance on the moon I didn't know what all this meant I didn't know why I'd been sent. The Insignificance version of Nine Cats has the following additional verse at the end: I threw 5 clocks down on my bed The chimes danced out on golden threads And turned to footprints on my wall Sequined tears began to fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting. I like the Blackfield version better, but the acoustic one by SW is also nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the music over the lyrics/concept on this one . . . I concur, with the exception of Time Flies. I like both the lyrics and the music on that one. The depressing aspect of SW's lyrics normally don't get to me, but this album, especially the songs focused on failed relationships are rather dull.

If the music sounds good to me, I listen to it. If not, I don't. Simple as that. That's a very Steven Wilson-y way to listen I consider myself to be an eclectic connoisseur of excellent music.

Also, if y'all haven't heard Abigail's Ghost, I think most PT fans will enjoy them. I got Selling Insincerity the other day and am completely hooked! Listening to AG right now, i.e. "Close" from Selling Insincerity. Definitely a similarity to PT. Interesting how PT is compared to P. Floyd, etc. Now there will be other bands that people say they sound like PT. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery (or something like that)!
