Sheryl Crow's Redemption Day does this subject better justice.

This is just a little too spooky. The way that guy speaks of "human behavior" smacks of the ultimate in self hatred that he had his followers commit. It does not need to be reproduced unless it is an obvious warning to others.

This track could be confusing to listeners, particularly the young or disturbed.

I love the encyclopedic side of your fab comments!  I was really about to psd this off but for the mentions of culty nutjobs

On road trips, I play 3 or 4 PT CDs one right after the other.  In order.  That is what an MP3 CD allows you to do.

Yep. I lived nearby too. Just a few miles up the road. Bizarro doesn't even begin to describe it. But what an awesome band.

Love the bass playing in this. Sit behind the tune but really steps out at the right time

Thanks for introducing me to PT.  Ive spent a months salary buying all the albums and I must say, Its nice to hear a band carrying on in the style of those 70s pioneers such as Yes, Rush, Floyd, LedZep etc etc.   I know its a time gone by but i think they have just a little of that spirit and mixed it witth some spirit from today.         its certainly not Cowellesq now, is it?

Is this really about the Heaven's Gate people? That happened just down the road from me. I worked at a bakery, they used to come in. Then all of a sudden they just stopped. WTF? Jerks.

All PT gets a 10 from me! So there!

Wait a second.....this is PT, too?   8  I agree we should just have the PSD button just play these guys.  Where else do you hear this ?

I was thinking the same thing about the recent spate of Republic party presidential candidates. Trust me, I would like to see better Republican candidates.  

The sound bytes are just too sophomoric for me.
Ruinous. 

Wonderful.

Eh, Bill plays what he wants. Get used to it!

I think he should play a little less Porcupine Tree and supplement that with Opeth and Katatonia, two other bands that Steven Wilson has a hand in the production side of things.

But again, that's my silly little opinion.

Our house it has a crowd...

Preposterous!  Is there such a thing as "too much" PT?!  I don't believe so.

Au Contraire....More PT on RP Please.

Wonder how much you could get from a recycled Earth after you scraped off all the garbage...

I saw Porcupine Tree do this live at NEARfest several years ago.  Bizarre, fantastic (as in "of fantasy") and likable.  The whole Heaven's Gate riff... Weird.  

NEARfest introduced me to several other fantastic groups. 

Very nice piece of songwriting. Another splendid Porcupine Tree piece. Thanks for playing this, Bill!

there is far too much Porcupine Tree on RP

made me look...

(sigh) It's an integral part of the song. It's what the song's about, the Heaven's Gate cult, and that's the leader of the cult speaking before they all horrifically committed mass suicide. Read comments a bit further down for enlightenment and links.

Is that Al Gore?
