'I would sometimes write something for Porcupine Tree and think to myself, “Oh, I wonder if Tim could come up for some lyrics for this.” I’d send him the backing track and then he would come along and we’d rework it as a No-Man song. The best example of this is with “Days in the Trees,“ which started out as a Porcupine Tree instrumental called “Mute.” I sent it to Tim and he wrote lyrics and a melody for it. I saw no reason to not release both versions. In a way I kind of like the conceptual continuity across my career. Another example of that would be the Bass Communion song “Drugged,” which became the basis for the first part of “Together We’re Stranger.” Those things are like little Easter eggs for people to discover.' - SW

WOW, sections of the first song sound VERY much like "Mute" from early Porcupine Tree!
Update, same theme in track 6.
Thanks for sharing.
