Fav Porcupine Tree tunes?

[SoundMaster]

I've recently picked up the "Stars Die" compilation & have been blown away.....again, by Porcupine Tree. For a long time, I'd avoided their early stuff as I understood most of it to be soundscapes/atmospherics, but, I must say, practically EVERYTHING on "Stars Die" is amazing!


Fav (current) PT tunes:

1) "Feel So Low" (above ALL else)
2) "Trains"
3) "In Formaldehyde"
4) "Even Less" (13 minute version)
5) "Darkmatter"
6) "Nine Cats"
7) "Sky Moves Sideways - Phase I"
8) "Lightbulb Sun"
9) "Stop Swimming"
10) "Fadeaway"

Gravity Eyelids, Blackest Eyes, Collapse the Light Into Earth, Radioactive Toy, Nine Cats, Voyage 34 phases I and II, Sever, Dark Matter, Signify, Synesthesia, Even Less, Piano Lessons, This is No Rehearsal... the list goes on and on and on.

Where in bloody hell I can get that album from?

I would kill for an original copy, but I would be happy to get a cd-quality copy as well. I guess there are only a handful people who own that one and the nearest one lives 1000 kilometers away, great.
