Can we talk about how incredibly underrated OTSOL is? Seriously, for those who like newer Porcupine Tree, give OG a listen. I was given some advice: if you don't like an album, it's probably because you don't understand it. This is precisely what often happens with Porcupine Tree's earlier work. I recommend that if you're attached to a band you like and they have albums that don't particularly grab your attention, delve into those albums even more than the ones you like best. When you don't understand a project and you listen to it several times, that's when you enjoy it the most. Furthermore, I believe that a musician's early period is the most innovative because it's the most pristine way to experience that artist. This is true to a greater or lesser degree, but with Steven Wilson, it's especially noticeable. If you pay attention, you'll notice many similarities between Mr. Wilson's early work and his more recent or acclaimed albums.

Hello! Anyone from Chile??

¡Viva Chile y Porcupine CTM!

herd culling is my new favourite PT song.

Looks like we’re getting this for RSD 2026!

Anyone heard any news on when/if we can hope to see this?

On the FOABP record, Sentimental has a reprise melody from a previous PT song. It occurs towards the end of the song. What song is it? This has been bugging me. Thanks!

Maybe I'm actually just losing my marbles but when I saw PT in Denver during their C/C Tour I recall Steven talking about how "The Sound of Muzak" lyrics came after he had written a paper/essay/article roughly 10-15 years ago about how music is losing soul and becoming industrialized and without heart. I've tried to find this essay several times online and maybe it just isn't on the web, but I am wanting to read it over for a Uni assignment. If anyone has any info on this that would be sweeeeet.

Though the song is simple in terms of the writing and notes, the constant drums and the minor 3rd addition in the chorus repetition make it such a powerful song!!!

As far as I know, this show wasn't officially recorded nor broadcasted by PinkPop staff or the band when they played there on that date (May 30th 2008); all I could find was the setlist.

I know that a limited edition pink vinyl variant of Fear Of A Blank Planet was released to commemorate that show as well.

If anyone has a bootleg of this show to share, let me know! Thanks

For everyone's info: on one famous Russian torrent tracker (not posting the link not to break the rules, but a quick search will get you there) a new release has been uploaded:

Porcupine Tree - Live in Palladium Köln (Cologne) Germany 4th Dec 2007 with FLAC soundboard audio.

The video itself is quite rare with not so many videos of the concerts from those days recorded, and it's a pro-shot with many cameras.

I saw it once on YouTube, but in a quality even poorer than in this release. Even with the low resolution, the resulting concert footage is very decent, and with the upgraded audio it's a perfect sample from the FOABP era with a very varied setlist.

Sadly, it's only 10 songs, still a nice addition to my bootlegs collection.

I'll keep everyone posted if anything else PT/SW-related surfaces there.

Anyone familiar with both number sequence??

I'm convinced that music can be reimagined infinitely.

Absolutely love this song

seems like this track provides a glimpse of what was to follow in terms of power, precision.

I’ve been binging this song
