Porcupine Tree started as a British progressive rock band in the late ‘80s, only to actually turn into the real thing. Steven Wilson is the man behind the music. A bombastic band, building soundscapes somewhere between Tool, Dream Theater, Pink Floyd and King Crimson, with a pinch of spaced Brit rock not unlike The Verve. Porcupine Tree, a lush neo-prog experience heavy on ambience and spacious electronics, bring a new level of music geekdom. The band delivers contemporary art rock compositions coming pretty close to absolute perfection – there’s atmosphere, energy and groove in abundance. Deadwing, the current album is an instant classic – an incredibly efficient masterpiece in its genre.
