Less rock-oriented than the previous album "In Absentia", "Deadwing" is partially based on a "surreal ghost story" screenplay written by Steven and sometime PORCUPINE TREE / NO-MAN art collaborator Mike Bennion. PORCUPINE TREE's eighth studio album, "Deadwing", was released in March 2005 by Lava Records / Warner Music. Formed in 1987 in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire - Suspended activity since 2010 The 60-minute, nine-track album contains material varying from short airplay-friendly songs such as 'Shallow' to lengthier pieces lik.
But if you are a fan of progressive, thoughtful, briliantly executed and flawlessly produced music, you will do no better than PT. Their latest two albums ("Stupid Dream" and "Lightbulb Sun") move the band further away from their influences and into their own catagory, by which other bands eventually will be compared. "Signify" saw Porcupine Tree truly gell as a studio band producing a blend of psychedelia, heavy rock, melancholic pop, kraut rock, and wild experimentation that brought the best out of each band member. They are unquestionably one of the UK's most inspired and inventive rock groups. PT is one of the most innovative bands in prog today combining intense musicianship, unconventional composition and superb studio production. The band started as a solo project of singer-songwriter-guitarist STEVEN WILSON who, back in the early nineties, released a series of increasingly spaced-out ambient excursions. The hypnotic rhythms, spacy synthesizers, glissando guitar and crazy voices which made the style successful are all contained here. The great post-GONG revival which gave birth to OZRIC TENTACLES now brings us PORCUPINE TREE. It says "Porcupine Tree have managed to defy genres and blend together numerous ambient, rock and avant-garde styles to create a musical landscape that is both refreshing and compulsively seductive".
I like the description on the back of the album "Signify" (one of my all time favorites). PORCUPINE TREE are incredibly hard to describe because their music doesn't fit into any one genre.
