Heya Petra, long time no talk. Hope that the concert is great!

I just brought the Anesthetize DVD, which I'm loving...
Have a great day

Thanks

So I am back... PT had great playlist

Occam's Razor
The Blind House
Great Expectations
Kneel And Disconnect
Drawing The Line
Lazarus
Hatesong
Russia On Ice - first part
Anestetize - middle part
Time Flies
Way Out Of Here
Blackest Eyes
Trains

I am sooo happy especially about Russia on ice - it was just wow! Hatesong and Way out of here were perfect as well.
Well and I really don't get why so many reviews call Porcupine Tree cold live band... Don't agree.

Likewise, my friend said they played with no soul when we saw them. That's very much not true.

Great set btw

Just released a few songs from an "unplugged" radio session for free download... although, there is some electric guitar from at least wes in there... soundcloud.com/steven-wilson

Okay, I'm waaay late to Porcupine Tree. I just started listening to them in the last 3 weeks. I downloaded every album and listened to them in chronological order (and then turned around and bought my favorites). I think they have some great music. The problem I have is that some of their albums are at least half prog-rock-space-jams. I don't mind some interludes or the occasional, well thought out instrumental; but when six out of ten songs is a prog-jam (Up The Downstair) it gets a bit self-indulgent. Having said that, when they are good, they are really f'ing good. So far, my favorite three are:

The Sky Moves Sideways

Signify

Fear of a Blank Planet

I just downloaded their first album. I like the first half more than the second half. But I have only listened to it once. As far as Absentia is concerned, I have yet to see it in the same light as most PT fans - in other words, I don't think it's their best. But then again, things tend to grow on me. I'm sure I'll appreciate it more with some more listens.

Now Wilson said that new album of Porcupine won't be influenced by metal so it will be more like albums before In Absentia, more space/prog rock.
