Porcupine Tree release that equals Lightbulb Sun?

Anything else like Voyage 34?

Hey Synthfreak - I would say that Voyage 34 is one of my favorite of their recordings. It is an interesting concept album and I like the pace and creativity of the first two parts (I and II) especially.

A few other of my favorites would include: Up The Downstair, Signify, Sky Moves Sideways, Deadwing, Stars Die, and Lightbulb Sun. But I seem to like 85-90% of their work. In fact, they have so much out there that I've only heard maybe 40-60% percent of their material - yay!

Anyone else really like PT's early release, Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape?

I just picked up an album by a Polish group that sounds very similar to PT. Any fans should probably check them out:
"Riverside - Rapid Eye Movement".

Then there's also PT's backup band at last year's concerts: "3".

Enjoy,
Bob

Riverside is right up there with the best I think.

I've heard only Deadwing and FOABP. Nice recordings and I I like them both, but my understanding is these are a far cry from the more psychodelic/space rock oriented earlier material.

Caught them live last year on their FOABP tour. Great band and great show!

FOABP is some really good prog, more proggy than DW, but the subject material is extremely bleak and depressing....think Pink Floyd's "The Wall" updated with year 2008 sensibilities, which limits its appeal. I heard the title track from this album played on a Death MEtal station in New Jersey recently, to give you an idea of some of the water it treads perhaps in common to some extent with Deadwing.
