Porcupine Tree

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone else heard of these guys? They're a great progressive rock band from the UK, similar to Dream Theater, Pink Floyd, or King Crimson. Their lyrics are somewhat Aspie-like and their instrumental stuff is very melodic, so check 'em out.

Here's another vid by them which is apparently making fun of modern music. It's great.

yeah. I've been listening to them for many years. My favourite album by them is coma divine(live) so much better than anything they've ever done imo.

lol similar to dream theater wthell.

Yes I'm a big fan of them too, really interesting electronic psychedelia. Especially their earlier albums.

I know them pretty well as my brother used to manage them, and ran a record label which their first 4 albums were released on.

I love Porcupine Tree.

I have a few songs by them in my playlist:

Not so much in sound and style but in concepts (extended songs, vocal melodies, utilization of piano and synth, etc.) They're both progressive rock bands, just different in execution.
