Any heard of Porcupine Tree?

They're like a cross between Floyd, King Crimson and old Genesis. Been fairly big in Europe. Just starting to catch on in the states. On tour here right now. Mind blowing shows. They have release a dozen os so records, mostly under indie lables, but a lot is being re-mastered and I saw 4 or 5 at Boarders. Give Stupid Dream or The Sky Moves Sideways a try. It's progressive in'05.

"In Absentia" was on my Hot Rotation for nearly a year. "Lightbulb Sun" is terrific too, but both have been recently supplanted by the re-mastered and wonderful "Signify".

"Deadwing" could be "In Absentia II", in my opinion. It's good, but nothing new.

I saw them in LA a couple weeks ago with Robert Fripp opening. I thought their live mix did a disservice to the stunning sound of their recordings.
