Porqupine Tree


I discovered this band by accident a couple of years ago while streaming Radio Paradise. I immediately bought the latest lp out at that time which was "Signify". I became a fan and also noticed how good this recording sounded and that the vinyl was of high quality.

Two years later, I've bitten the bullet. ( I say this because PT lps are not inexpensive) I ordered the vast majority of PT and one Steven Wilson on vinyl.

This is sort of a pre-auditioning report. It seems that PT has lps out on a couple of different labels. I have three in home now and the lps on "tonefloat" are the flat vinyl profile. Reminiscent of the later Classic label & UHQU MOFI lps. The other label, kscope, seems to be pretty close to flat. The point is, the vinyl sourced for this band is of high quality. (You vinyl people out there know what I mean) You can just "tell" when you have quality vinyl in your hands.

I was surprised that, upon my search, there was no other thread for this fine band out there. I'm looking forward to many hours of splendid listening.

Slaw, One of my favorite bands. On the dark side but such adventurous good music. Steve Wilson is so talented. The drummer Gavin Harrison kicks butt. One of the most musical drummers I have heard. I have their stuff on CD but you have inspired me to try their vinyl. Regards Jet
Slaw, I discovered them a few years ago. The bands video's on youtube are one of the reasons I added a 46 inch monitor to my stereo only system.
I like "In Absentia" (Tonefloat) so much I bought 2 copies. If I wear out the first I'm ready with the second!
There are a number of threads if you search "Porcupine Tree", but not much under "Porqupine Tree"
