Porcupine Tree release that equals Lightbulb Sun?

After reading this thread I ordered Porcupine Tree, "Stupid Dream" which is highly regarded and praised at AMG as their Album Pick.

I located it as original double LP, with really high hopes, especially since I'm such an analog head.

After spinning a couple of sides my impression is it's too compressed from a recording standpoint and too depressing from a creative standpoint which does not leave much for me to like.

I'm giving it one more chance before posting for sale here at Audiogon. You might find Death Cab for Cutie "Something About Airplanes," up for grabs too. I acquired that LP about the same time and have found little to like about it either.

I will say the new White Stripes album is great and I can't stop spinning Goldfrapp "Felt Mountain" and "La Nouvelle Pauvreté" by Jan Jelinek, the latter of which is pretty far out as rock records go.

Thank you for those three suggestions, Albert.

Lightbulb Sun is going to be released in 5.1 dolby and the original Cd is being remastered. Maybe they will float your boat Albert.

Perhaps I should try that before giving up. I love finding new software, it's the most important part of this hobby.

I believe Lightbulb Sun is a worthwhile purchase and addition to your collection, Albert. Give it a shot.
