Hello friend...join us at Fans of Porcupine Tree on FB....I started it in 2009 to find other P.T fans and have become part of a great community and made many new friends !
That bass. These drums. The tasteful guitar and keyboard playing, the whole atmosphere of this song. Perfect. Who else is listening to this in March 2022?
It added another amazing dimension to moat of their songs. It's a crying shame that he and Colin are no longer in the best Rock band of the late 90s to 2010s
Just wanted to take a moment, 9 years later, to thank PPT for getting me through some of the darkest times I've gone through. This song in particular. You guys are the reason I'm still here today. Thank you!
Steven Wilson is a self-taught musician... Virtuoso of rock if ever there was one. His guitar work and guitar solos are like the best rock/blues singer emoting. Amazing. (He's no Eddy Vanhalen - and thank God for that.)
Anyone else find "In Absentia" a pretty disturbing yet beautiful album? Once you realise the lyrical inspiration is the dark and twisted world of serial killers, you find the music almost counterpoint to much of the darkness.
Porcupine has the BEST live concerts I've ever seen in my life. They sound even better in live than in record. How they sound, the effects, the lights, the videos, everything is just perfect. I totally agree with you. Their sound and live concert is THE BEST.
I truly love this band. As I have said before, to listen to them is pure bliss. Porcupine Tree are about as close to heaven as we can come on this earth-their music is intelligent, catchy, and impossible to categorize. They are wildly talented musicians, but never fall into the self indulgent overplaying of other groups that might be called progressive. They can bounce between so many moods and never miss a beat. Everybody watching this video needs to turn their friends onto PT. God Bless PT!
I don't know whose side I'm on I don't think that I belong 'round here If I left the stage would that be wrong? I tried to find myself a better way I got religion but I went astray They took my money and I lost my faith Rain keeps crawling down the glass The good times never seem to last Close your eyes and let the thought pass I tried the capsule and I tried the smoke I tried to aid escape like normal folk But I never seemed to get the joke These are my old clothes This is a new low This is my blood flow This is my headstone I spend my days with all my friends They're the ones on who my life depends I'm gonna miss them when the series ends Rain keeps crawling down the glass (Pull yourself together) The good times never seem to last
PPT is the band, i found myself looking for without even knowing about the process of it. It's like the overall spirit sums up my life.. i can't describe the intensity of its meaning to me. i found a life lasting love for sure. Also - as a drummer - Gavin, PPT and the Solo work of steven showed (and lifted) me not just (to) a new level but (to) a new dimension of experiencing and understanding music. thank you so, so much!
@XDrummerSteve agreed! words cannot describe Gavin's talents, its rare that a drummer can dress up slow/quiet songs with intricate fills and patterns and not overdo it. he nails it every time!
That ending is my favorite part of the song, it always gets me. When the song ends, i always turn back a little only to listen that fill again and again. Gavin is one of the best, his sensibility on the drums is incredible, like in the great ones!!!
I have listened to a LOT of music. All of these musicians are professionals. I can only imagine that they all have some sort of input in the final mix to some degree. They are masters of sound. Period.
this song put me on such a natural high, i feel so euphoric everytime i hear this song, let alone the screening by Lasse Hoile. Such a superb song and video.
That is a superb song , great band..and what a fantastic audio mix...when you see them live there engineers always get it right..Front of house sound is so important to PT..
Every single part of this song is groovy as fuck and not to forget Wesley's vocals here, absolute bliss. Damn Tilburg, lucky bunch! Thank you for the DVD.!
Yes but the process of creativity in PT was different working more like a band with chemistry , in his solos albums is different , great musicians supporting to him...
Like many I'm a late-comer when it comes to PT and appreciating this amazing band. I'm seeing SW in about 2 weeks in SLC which I'm very excited about... But also like many, I prefer PT over Steven's solo work. The chemistry with Gavin, Barbieri, and even Wesley (who only toured with PT) is rock magic. SW is the heart of PT but the soul of the band is the chemistry of the band members. In an interview, SW gave credit to the contributions of all the members as "a band." So while SW's solo work is amazing, it's missing something special that the other band members brought to Wilson's own talent. --- If ever there could be a PT reunion I think I'd take a year off and follow them... Damn I wish I'd have known about these guys circa 2010 - 2012.
Even better now with King Crimson and two other drummers. Who but King Crimson could put three drummers front and centre on stage and have it sound so brilliant
