    Blackest Eyes is the song that introduced me to Porcupine Tree.
    Was at an Incubus concert, on their 'Morningview' tour, and that song came on during the pre-show house music.
    Luckily, the dj named the band and the song. I spent the entire concert repeating it to myself so I wouldn't forget and could look them up when I got home.
    That moment is actually more memorable to me than the Incubus show itself... and it was a good show.

      My one issue with SW is the way he has treated departing musicians.....Marco and Guthrie were completely disrespected when even going in SW knew they would be touring on some point with their own band. He left them out of all rewards and even notification of when hey hit gold etc. Not very professional and certainly a little high on himself, but he is, without doubt one of the most prolific artists in the world.

    10:14 Colin didn't actually decide not to be a part of CC... It's been stated in interviews with both Steven and Colin that they just didn't stay in touch through the years, which for Steven meant that Colin wasn't interested in doing more Porcupine music anymore. Colin's perspective though was that he just never got informed that the band was getting back together, and since the bass on the whole album was already done, he was kicked out.

      Colin still has a business stake in the band through previous recordings however, my feeling is that his non inclusion in the reunion may have been financially motivated. After all, profit between three is more substantial than profit shared between four. The two guys brought in for the tour ie Nate and Randy I suspect would have been salaried.

    In Absentia actually began to be recorded with Chris Maitland as the drummer but he was kicked out because he wasn't taking the metal parts seriously. The change in musical direction was completely led by Steven, in part due to his friendship with Opeth's Michael Akerfeldt. Also, Steven used to listen to some metal as a teenager so it was, in part, a reawakening of appreciation. Gavin was brought in as Chris' replacement but was previously a jazz drummer and played on many pop albums. He said he had to adjust to the heavier metal style of playing which he was not used to. So the change in drummer did not lead to a change in sound - the change in sound led to a change in drummer. 😁

I've been lucky enough to see PT live four times and Steven Wilson live two times , and every show made me cry. He has been my personal savior when it comes to also driving me to explore other great Prog bands since.

    Porcupine Tree shifted in a heavier direction when Steven Wilson started working with and producing albuns for Opeth.
    The drummer change , while imo SIGNIFICANT, didn't influence the 'heaviness' of the sound, especially since that is neither his forté, nor background.

    • @GianlucaPavanMusician
      @GianlucaPavanMusician  4 місяці тому

      You're right maybe i express myself badly...but they kept that direction in the other album because gavin got into messhugga and other heavier bands if you think about it.

    I feel your pain, Gianluca. I also discovered a band as they were in the process of coming to their end. I was going through a Surf Guitar phase when I discovered Laika and The Cosmonauts. Luckily, I was able to see them on their final tour as an opening act for Los Straitjackets, which was a cruel joke because they're SO much better! I was so impressed with them live that I grabbed a guitarist friend and dragged him to the next night's performance on the next stop of their tour. I got to talk with them and I told them how sad I was that they're breaking up as I'd just recently discovered their music. Great bunch of guys, very gracious. At least we'll always have their recordings..

    So I'm italian but I'll still write in english as a form of respect to all other viewers that wouldn't bother using the embedded translator: in Fear of a Blank Planet Steven kinda demonized videogaming as a way for young dudes to blankly stare at a screen and isolate themselves. I'm a big fan of music AND videogames, I really love Steven but couldn't help but cringe every time the "Xbox is a god to me" part came up during the song and video. Fate is ironic though, as later in his career he happened to lend his music to a fantastic game (MADE IN ITALY by a couple of old friends of mine that I used to briefly work and play music with, many years before), and he finally had to acknowledge the art that frequently hides in so called videogames, after all.
    The game in question is Last Day of June and it's a little indie gem that made me all emotional from beginning to end. Thank you for reading this comment.

    What a great video. I accidentally discovered PT in August of 2022 and the song was Anesthetized. I was blown away. I must have watched the live video a dozens times. I then began my journey and realized they were getting ready to tour the USA. I bought every thing I could find. Long story short. I went to 4 shows. Illinois, Wisconsin, Texas and Colorado. All in 6 days. I’d never done that in my 60 yrs. The closest was back to back Pink Floyd shows. It was exhausting but so worth it. Up until I discovered PT my favorite band was Pink Floyd and then Rush. Of course now, it’s Porcupine Tree. I know now, after a year of listening, no one will replace them at the top.

    And i really love the live version of 'Normal'.
    Especially on surround because of higher dynamic range too.
    But a great review bro, i liked your take.

      @@GianlucaPavanMusician Only bineurally and spatial audio on streaming services but Dolby Atmos implementation on mobile devices are bad. Doesn't sound as good as official demos Dolby has put in it's website. And also, heavily compresses the dynamic range during playback which kills one of the reasons to listen. Surround (5.1) ones from blu-ray or DVD. He has some Dolby Atmos releases (lossless) on blue-ray too but i do not have the playback system to decode it properly so instead i rip the disc to my PC and have only access to the 7.1 bed of the atmos mix via DAW; not the dynamic objects which move around you in 3D space. Happy to see loudness wars are pulling back a bit thanks to Atmos but definitely terrible user experience, at least on streaming services.

    The amount of work that went into this must have been insane. Well done! Too bad Deadwing kind of got the short end of the stick here, though: Arriving Somewhere is one of my favorite PT tracks in their entire oeuvre. I also thought C/C was disappointing, or at least not strong on aspects of their music which initially pulled me in.
    That said, I’ve found folks listen to PT for different reasons. To me it’s mostly the melancholy expressed by the beautiful melodies; To others it’s the thunderous rock sequences (which I don’t mind if accompanied by the former!). Songs like Rats Return and Herd Culling don’t really resonate with me. But to each their own.

    No kidding... Steven Wilson doesn't want this band to "break" so to speak. I saw them in 2022 in Dallas, incredible. Saw them 10 years earlier during the FOBP tour in Dallas. Bottom line, if he wanted to make PT a HUGE band, he would have released the best two songs on the C/C album as singles. In Dallas, 2022 did they play those songs in that concert, NO... The songs I'm referring to are: Never Have and Love in the past tense.... Those two songs weren't actually on the basic album, only available for the diehard fans if they purchased the extended edition which includes 3 additional songs. All three are great songs, should have been on the album. Bottom line the 7 songs released were a great album after a decade of not hearing them, but the additional 3 songs would have made this album incredible. Which in retrospect, Steven didn't want PT to become, or in other words "have happen". He doesn't think that progressive rock is a profitable business for him to pursue with PT, so he'll just do the bare minimum unless it surprises him and makes him change his mind. The only reason he made C/C is because of the pandemic and he had nothing else to do. He was bored and started writing C/C with GH and GH said it sounds like a PT album... Hense the PT "resurface" in 2022. Hopefully they will release another album and market right to keep the only prog rock band alive moving forward. BTW, you forgot to mention one of greatest Prog Rock bands of all-time in your summary of PR, Rush...

    I'm not sure how you can talk about the greatest progressive bands ever and not mentioned Yes. I also like to put in a good word for an incredibly influential artist, although he is not exclusively in the progressive genre, Todd Rundgren. Yes produced what is either the number one or number two progressive album in the history of the genre. Rundgren was pushing boundaries no one knew or even there and then most cases doing it single-handedly.

      @@GianlucaPavanMusician no Yes, no Porcupine Tree. It also seems if you're going to talk about historical applies to those other bands as well. I just don't think Yes is excludable from that list - I'd also go so far as to say I don't know what Pink Floyd is but I don't think they're considered progressive. Although I do believe they are Steve Wilson's favorite band
      I'm also not really a fan of the term Prog or progressive, back in the day we called it classical rock. Then people started talking about classic rock and suddenly you needed a new name. I fall into the Jon Anderson camp and think a better name would be adventurous music. I think that covers it a lot more completely, under the rules for Prog pretty much everybody in the mid seventies had at least one Prog song, however if you look at it they were simply being adventurous with their music. Lately the term Prog seems to have been co-opted by certain metal bands who think just because they play quickly and have some time changes they're doing something interesting.
