PORCUPINE TREE

Porcupine Tree

Closure / Continuation

    Porcupine Tree are Steven Wilson, Richard Barbieri and Gavin Harrison. They are a hugely influential, relentlessly creative British rock band.

    First dreamt up by Wilson in 1987 as an outlet for experimental recordings he was making outside of his synth-pop duo No-Man, Porcupine Tree expanded to become a proper band in the early ’90s in order to further explore his ideas both on record and on stage.

    Over the years Porcupine Tree have constantly evolved as their expansive music has shifted from pastoral psychedelic rock and ambient electronic soundscapes to experimental pop and eventually - with “21st century masterpiece” In Absentia (Classic Rock) - a propulsive metal sound all of their own. Their latter records effortlessly combined each of those genres and allowed Porcupine Tree to occupy a musical universe unique to them.

    In Absentia

      After some 13 albums Porcupine Tree are firmly established as one of the most prolific bands of the prog / rock genre. "In Absentia" however is very different from their earlier work with Steve Wilson conjuring up his darkest vision yet. It's harder and louder too with some of Wilson's most direct and aggressive lead guitar work.

      Metanoia

        Steve Wilson recorded these long guitar improvisations during the sessions for "Signify" in 1995-96. Originally released as a double 10" album, this is its first CD release. It contains many fine spacey guitar and keyboard workouts and shows how talented and versatile a player Wilson can be.
