you're probably better going with the later Porcupine Tree recordings like "Nil Recurring", "The Incident" and "Fear of a Blank Planet". As you work your way back through their catalogue you get nearer to a Pink Floyd type of sound.

He's also the driving force behind Blackfield, Insurgentes, is linked to Opeth, who he produces I think and his solo work.

With Steven Wilson you'll get quality all the way. He's a top geezer.

Thanks for the recommendations!, posted on March 4, 2015 at 14:09:37

And probably Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun. If you enjoy live recordings, they have a few that are absolutely stellar: the 2 XM Studios discs and the Fillmore West soundboard shows. The Waszawa (Warsaw) concert CD is also well worth having.

In Absentia, Stupid Dream, and Lightbulb Sun are all available as 2 ch. and 5.1 ch. DVD-A discs and they sound extremely good.

If you want any more recommendations, contact me offlist, I have a very large PTree collection...

Most are excellent. More laid back side. Steven has been doing the remasters/mixes for Yes, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, XTC, ELP... Guy's got an ear.

And I can tell you that Porcupine Tree's sound man for concert gigs is about the best in the business. The sound he was able to achieve at The State Theater in Falls Church, VA was astonishing, very tough venue indeed... -RW-
