PT fans - is the rest of the album more in this Pink Floyd like style or more like their other stuff? This was my first PT album back in '93/94. Saw a half page ad in a music magazine and one of the quotes was "if Pink Floyd had just released their first album then this is what it would sound like" So in my opinion more spacy and soundscapey (?) but if you like 'em now go and discover their early stuff. |

I'm further confused to see Alan Duffy (King Africa?) credited with the lyrics for this song. I had a fine series of pictures in my mind of a man at the tail end of a stimulant binge writing sentences on 3 x 5 cards, and then finding a sort of non-linear order in his own chaos. But now I am just impressed with the diversity of Steven Wilson's "connections." Actually, I'm pretty sure you're right, westslope.  |

Some of the greatest progressive rock of the last quarter centurty. I like all of PT's "phases", but as a big Pink Floyd fan, I might like this phase most. But it's all good, and by no means do I consider PT a modern Pink Floyd. Porcupine Tree stands on their own, and in my personal opinion, they're actually better than Pink Floyd (and that's coming from a big Pink Floyd fan).

Not really, though there's definitely a sad and surreal vibe going on. One of my PT top 5 for sure!
I sat in the room with a view
The girl in the photograph knew
Can't you see?
Why is she laughing at me? I stumbled through the dark unaware
The face in the hall isn't there
Tomorrow has gone
Where do the voices come from? Watching the leaves as they blew
Lost in the room with a view
Climb the walls
You did not know me at all I fell through a hole in the floor
The audience cried out for more
Fadeaway It's just another day Hit heaven far too high... |

I love this - I'm in a spacy mood tonight. Snow is coming down like it really hates us and wants to extract revenge. I don't know what we did to piss off snow, but apparently, we're targeted. I will NOT be going anywhere tomorrow, so RP, brandy, and Rosemary and Olive Oil Triscuits will be my menu.  |

yep, which is why i can't call myself a true prog-rock fan, nor would i categorize PT as pure prog-rock |
