Some people say the magic starts at 12:00. I think it starts at 6:00. I think this may be the most extraordinarily beautiful piece of music ever created. I like lots of progressive rock, but this "song" is in a class of its own. It is a singular event. Nothing else can touch it. It is like the birth of the universe.
It's like you climbed out of my head. Obviosly listen to the who album (voyage 34). Parts 1+2 are linked musically. Phase iii is a remix not actually made by procupine -tree. Phase 4 is awful. skip it.
That part after 12 minutes has only 3 chords em cadd9 and d but man does it sound so good what a way to use a simple music but turn it to a fucking amazing sound. Man Steven is a genuis
very few.... very feew in the world.... yes very particular individual, a small amount of people in this would world fall in love with this kinda music. this is not only just music, its a story.. it turns into something else when i find myself in Phase iii...........................................
I've listened to hundrends of thousands pieces... from 12:16 this piece is The Best Ever.People would sure quieten...and listen the gem. And that trip was really necessary ...
Whole song is fantastic, from beginning to end. I especially love the intro for it's quirkiness and weird lines, and then the guitar and the nostalgic keyboards that happen afterwards.
Imagine doing LSD, listening to this, then hearing that very last line, "Is this trip really necessary?" Ha! It could send you on a downwards spiral...
Been there done that my friend. Porcupine tree has given meaning to the chaos in my life. Steven Wilson when he passes will be given a spot in heaven cuz he helped so many people and prevented suicide. God bless Steven.
the entire album is better than anything floyd has ever done. the album is genus and one of the few i keep n repeat when I'm...exploring the cosmos...yea...the cosmos.
