Good band, I have just 2 albums, In Absentia and Signify, I really like them, very interesting stuff. Are all the other albums as good? how many albums they done? are they all similar ambient rock kind of music?

I bought "Lightbulb Sun" about a month ago, all I've got. "Shesmovedon" is a very catchy tune, reminds me of sth my dad listened to when I was younger, ELO I think. All in all there's a bunch of songs I'm allready skipping.

Not very cerulean eh

Didn't say I thought otherwise, first impression just haven't been ecstatic exactly, except that "Shesmovedon", extremely catchy tune. "Russia on Ice" has sth too, but it's so long.

I've just looked on their official site and it's a bit confusing finding the albums from the EP's in case I'm stupid enought o not find that, could someone list just all their albums?

i suggest andy you buy their best of release, which is composed of two cds of their best tracks they did with delirium records.
by the way, in absentia is one of the best things ive heard. it's so good.

You mean Stars Die?
A double CD set exploring the first five studio albums and various singles together with previously unreleased tracks, new mixes and assorted rarities culled from Porcupine Tree's seven years with Delerium Records.
It's not a "best of".

Anyways, just buy Stupid Dream, Lightbulb Sun and Recordings and you're fine. They have way to many rare singles and cassettes to even bother getting it all. There's like only five copies of some of the stuff..
I´ve bougth them all, that's 11 albums i think. They are all good.
Oh and PT have to thank audiogalaxy for that.

Check out Karnataka - Delicate Flame Of Desire if you´re into prog rock.
Already have ordered all they´re discography (3 albums and 2 dvds). They have to thank soulseek for that.

Watch out for BLÖTT!
I got "Stupid dreams", "lightbulb sun" & "In abstentia"... these are classics albums of my discography... I'm gonna see PT live in Verviers (Belgium) in November... Can't wait!!!
PTree is phenomenal! They have a multitude of albums, but the sound & style of "Signify" & "In Absentia" are most easily found on "Lightbulb Sun" (an absolute classic!) and "Stupid Dream". SOme of their earlier albums (from the early 90s) are quite different - imagine ambient old Pink Floyd mixed with the cheesy early Depeche Mode records. But much better, of course.
PTree really hit their stride with "Signify", IMO.

Ah! The copy and paste vocal harmonies are something to palate also.. listen Heartattack in a lay by
For those who doesn't know this band you can stream a live performance on Nearfest 2001 (it correspond to Stupid Dream era, 2 albums ago)

you can also stream an acoustic set on Relapse UK recordstoren (yeah right, the house of noisecore acts) where you can listen Smart Kid that was recently sang by Mikael from Opeth in the PT+Opeth USA tour (this is not that one anyway)

I own In Absentia! I love it
I've heard a few MP3's - Lightbulb Sun, Baby Dream In Cellophane and Synesthesia.
I've heard Lightbulb Sun is hard to find
