Just when I had thought there was nothing left for newer bands to offer in terms of talent and originality, Porcupine Tree came along. Hope they reunite at some point and bring these songs back to life.
Kel, Rich, Larry, thank you for helping me rediscover Porcupine Tree. I was a huge fan of theirs in the past, but they dropped off my radar for a while. I’d forgotten just how good they really were.
John Wesley “The fifth PT” is the other guy playing on stage, he has appeared in all PT records and live performances since Stupid Dream. He’s was born and raised in Brandon, FL. P.S. He also has a very good voice which complimentary to that of Steven Wilson’s.
First song I heard from Porcupine Tree and learned on guitar maybe around 2005 - instant fan. In Absentia is from 2002 and the lyrics are very much still relevant, perhaps even more so.
Idk, I think Deadwing is their best work. But honestly, I can understand In Absentia, Deadwing, or Fear of a Blank planet being someone's vote for best. I will say, In Absentia definitely has my favorite production and mix of the three. It's incredible.
You got it right Rich, Beautiful. Kel, FYI: the word cerebellum means little brain. The cerebellum is the area of the hindbrain that controls movement coordination, balance, equilibrium and muscle tone. The temporal is part of the brain that deals with sound, hearing and other senses, helps with language and reading. LOL it is the nurse in me. :-)
You guys, are the best! Like me and many others that really understand the essence to life, and the state-of-art from Porcupine Tree / Steve Wilson songs! I'm happy I'm not alone, in this world of messy and discarded music and songwriters, we who realize the truth behind the poets.
My AC has been out since Monday .... Boiling here guys . New unit tomorrow hopefully. SC heats no joke without ac lol Three PT reviews in a day ! Bravo 🤜🤛
Mrs Wife and I saw Steven Wilson on the Hand Cannot Erase tour in Manchester (UK) a couple of years ago; The Sound of Musak was included in the encore ... but as a crowd sing-along. Brilliant!
From memory, their earlier albums were a bit more laid back, with great vocal harmonising - and instrumentals also, e.g. The Sky Moves Sideways. I'll have to get the albums out for another listen, it's been too long! My brother, 10 years younger, introduced me to them. We saw them during 'The Incident' tour over here (in England). Peace. :)
This isn't the album version, this has been altered in some way. Listening to them side by side and there's echo being used, as well as some subtle keyboard work.
Many PT songs have great vocal harmonies because I heard or read somewhere that Steven Wilson was inspired by the Beatles and also the Beach Boys LP "Pet Sounds". John Wesley had been with the last few PT studio albums and was especially good on the Chicago live album and "Anesthetize"....
I saw you listening Fear Inoculum.. Tool. Now...Porcupine Tree. My two favorites bands. Wow.. Love you guys you're amazing...and your friends too. Saludos desde CHILE.. Viva el rock. Like and suscribe now!!
If yall went down to Key West you probably drove right by my place in Key Largo XD On a musical note, I just recently discovered the band that Gavin Harrison is in now The Pineapple Thief. I really like their song White Mist. You can definitely tell its Gavin behind that drum kit!
Kel and Rich, please listen to 'So called friend', 'Futile', 'Halo', 'Normal', 'The Incident', 'Time Flies' and 'What Happened Now'. Please please. Whichever Larry picks first. Larry, its all in your hands now. From one PT/SW fan to another.
If you guys like Porcupine Tree, why not try Gavin's new band The Pineapple Thief. Song IN EXILE. Pineapple thief are and old band but Gavin's been drumming on the last two. Strongly recommend them.
I think it's a rip onto elevator music. Muzak has been around for years. They take a popular song and water it down and synthesize it so that all the heart and soul is taken out. Hence, the biggest "wonder of the world" becomes the "biggest blunder in the world."
Steven Wilson. You won't go wrong, though Routine and The Raven That Refused To Sing will tear you up. Especially Routine. Then you can do Permanating for something more lighthearted.
You guys need to revisit Wishbone Ash as well. This is a killer live version of Blowin' Free ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I2HQIrteSDU.html
Only Steve Wilson can write a prog song about elevator music. In Absentia is my favorite PT album. No more Carvel in CA. Have to settle for Baskin Robbins. Used to go to Boca for training and always had fun on the weekends. You should try making phone contact with a requester during a reaction video.
New subscriber here..I love watching your reaction vids..Awesome stuff guys!! I know you get a lot of song requests but if you do get time check out Steven Wilson's tune, pariah. Enjoy.
ufff...i see and feel you guys are getting bored of the Songs from (most of the time) the same bands. finally you meet Soen, pain of salvation etc..... But! Wrong Songs!! And there are a lot of Bands or Musicians who will let your Mouth open and leave you with Tears in the Eyes. If you want listen Music for your Soul, let me knows. I give you a example...i start with a old one... Wishbone Ash "Handy". Enjoy it. PS i listen Music very intensiv for the last 45 Years and trust me...i know what you like.
My favorite porcupine tree song asked for this a few months back along with dream theater the mirror glad he has similar tastes haha Great reaction as always guys!!
