Porcupine Tree release that equals Lightbulb Sun?


I'm a Porcupine Tree fan. Love Lightbulb Sun and In Absentia. Own several earlier releases. Own Deadwing...blah. That's when I stopped buying PT recordings.

Do any recent Porcupine Tree releases measure up to Lightbulb Sun?

Fear of a blank planet WILL be released on vinyl despite the fact that PTREE is signed to a major label. Should be out by the end of summer. It's great to see so many Audiogoners are into Ptree. Deadwing is a fabulous album. What you have to keep in mind is that every album PTREE puts out is on a league of their own. Ptree is known for reinventing themselves every time they put a new album out. So if you are looking for Lightbulb sun part two, you won't find anything like it. The closest to it would be Stupid Dream. When In Absentia came out it sounded like a new band. And that is part of Steve's idea of what the band should be. Constant reinvention is part of the equation. Keep that in mind when listening to Deadwing and Fear of a blank planet.
Another fun project I enjoy a lot is No-man. Try Together we're strangers and also Returning Jesus. It's hard to believe it came from the same musical madman that is behind PTREE. These releases are essential!
Deadwing is a fabulous album.
I agree - I have it on vinyl - great sonics.

Another cd I didn't mention among my favorites in my previous post is "Recordings". It's a limited release so is hard to find and expensive (a couple are available on Amazon.com for ~$100 ea! I didn't pay that much since I bought it when it first came out at normal prices).

Another fun project I enjoy a lot is No-man.
I have No-man "Flowermouth" and like it, but not as much as the 2 Blackfield CDs which are fantastic. No-man cannot be mistaken for PT though, which is not the case with Blackfield since Steve Wilson is the vocalist on both.
All of Porcupine Tree are being remastered and released with a bonus CD. Don't waste your money paying inflated prices. I saw most of their offerings yesterday going for 14.99 and the rest will follow.

most of their catalog is being reissued and often includes bonus material. However, the original Delerium releases, in many cases have better sonics than the new stuff. if you want to save money, go for the new stuff, if you want to collect, prepare your wallet.
