Porcupine Tree, one of my fave bands!
Thanks to Pat, a fellow New Model Army fan, who gave me a compilation cd with some of the most emotional and beautiful music I have heard in my live. Yes, Steven Wilson is a musical genius!
Absolutely love both their more recent, heavier stuff as well as their earlier, mellow tracks. Fave songs include Even less, Halo, Sound of Muzak, Blackest eyes, Linton Samuel Dawson, Signify, Radioactive Toy, Arriving somewhere...
Can also recommend the cd "Blackfield", a side project featuring Steven Wilson and Israeli musician Aviv Geffen.
Bought most official releases since and was lucky enough to catch them live several times this year. Here's the set list from my most recent PT gig in Pratteln (CH):
Open Car
Blackest eyes
Lazarus
Strip the soul
Don't hate me
Mother and Child
Mellotron scratch
So called friend
Arriving somewhere but not here
Dot three
Start of something beautiful
Halo
----------
Radioactive toy
Trains
