it's great. really really great. but burning sky is the shit, and that's on Up The Downstair...so I'm not sure if one is better or not. I like all their stuff. listening to lightbulb sun now. the title track on that album rocks so much.

Yeah The Sky Moves Sideways is great. Would definitely be one of Porcupine Trees standouts in my opinion.

My favorite of all by this band. Followed closely by Signify and In Absentia. There are many "Floyd" references to SMS, which from what I"ve read irritated Steven Wilson. I believe Porcupine Tree on SMS took the "Floyd" phycidelic basis and took that to a whole new level. Just my theory.

Yes that whole album does sound VERY Floydian to me. Reminds me a lot of their earlier days (after Piper)
Very Pink Floydish, I even read somewhere that Wilson is not at all pleased with this album mainly because of the Floydian comparisons... He said something like it was a record he had to do but if he could go back and erase it he probably would... Saw PT 3 times in concert and they never played anything pre-Signify (well, almost nothing, heard Radioactive Toy and one song from Up the Downstair, that's it!)
Imho, it's a great album, trance-inducing, psychedelic, trippy... Great when smoking weed and/or having a looong session of sex...
Cheers !

I like phase one quite a lot. Phase 2 has some great moments but the rest of the album doesnt hold up quite as well for me.
"Closure" (by Opeth) sounds like it was heavily influenced by "Moonloop (coda)" off "The sky moves sideways".
Yeah, great album. The double disc digi is great, though I prefer the album verisons of Phase 1 and 2, over the alternate mix. Stars Die is great.
I just got the MoonLoop LP from Burningshed. Very nice. And they shipped it out of the bag (in a seperate sleeve) so the PVC bag didnt get damaged. Good job!
