I'm 16 and first heard about them when I was 14, although didn't actually get into them until I was 15.

I'm 27, and I got into them about three years ago when FOABP came out, when I was 24.
There's quite a range of ages represented here. PT really do seem to cross the generation gap.

I'm 18-- nearly 19-- and have been listening since I was 17... ever since I heard Fear of a Blank Planet, In Absentia and The Sky Moves Sideways... all legendary albums in my opinion... I actually really like The Incident. I haven't looked back since ( I now have their whole studio/most ep discography
 ).

My dad (who got me into prog to start with) actually got me into PT by telling me to see if they were any good. After that I got Stupid Dream, which I thought was only alright at first, then FoaBP and In Absentia, which I still didn't really like, but then I got TSMS which completely hooked me.
From there I've worked through the rest of their stuffed and loved it all  Edited by progkidjoel - May 24 2010 at 16:29 |

Why this band have never made it big mainstream is beyond me.They appeal to all ages/sexes.My biggest problem with PT is I keep buying more and more! |

It did make it mainstream. It reached its potential; at the Univers Zero concert last year I was in an audience of 60-70 people, at the Porcupine Tree we were 3000 people
 Considering their new shift for a more accessible music with The Incident, I think there is new potential now for growth. But their potential will never be for the "big mainstream" as you put it. IMO of course. |

Yeah, I've got the whole studio catalog, a live DVD, EPs, T-shirts, no bumper stickers at the moment. Why PT hasn't made it big mainstream? I think it's against the rules for prog bands to make it big mainstream these days. Edited by Slartibartfast - May 25 2010 at 07:05 |

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

In all honesty, "The Incident" debuted at 24 on the Billboard chart. Yeah, I realize that it was mostly fanboys buying the CD the day it came out, but still, that's a pretty good showing, especially for a prog band. I expect the next one to be bigger, possibly even the heralded 'breakthrough' album. Once that happens...well, I can only imagine "Anesthetize" being played in an arena through a billion dollar sound system while a multi million dollar stage / light show goes on a-la a Genesis or Rush show...I for one can't wait.

Today I had one of those wonderful moments when something clicks and you love a song all of a sudden, with the masterpiece that is Anesthetize. I can't stop listening to it. Wonderful song, especially the middle section.

My standard edition arrived today!
So for those wondering, it took only 4 days from the time of my shipment email to get from the UK to USA. I think that's pretty good. Looks tasty, but I won't watch it till Saturday night when I can "get in the proper mood" for such a cool dvd.  |

^Hmmm, that's a little odd. Are you sure you put in the right email address and everything?
If you got a payment confirmation email when you ordered, you should give Burning Shed an email to ask if yours has been shipped yet... |

Also, an email from John Wesley:
Hi Everyone, It has been a while since I have sent out an update and I wanted to touch base and let you all in on the latest news. The last year has been filled with so much -- between touring with Porcupine Tree, writing for my new album, and moving my recording studio -- I've had my hands quite full. First off...I am going back on tour with Porcupine Tree for the summer festivals all over Europe. Check the link here for dates: http://www.porcupinetree.com/tour.cfm While out on tour, I've been posting regular updates on Twitter and Facebook. You can sign up to follow me on Twitter or Facebook for my (almost) daily tour updates here: http://twitter.com/johnwesleymusic http://www.facebook.com/johnwesleymusic Next on the agenda is the continued progress of my next set of recordings. My plan is to release an initial 10 song set that consists of full band arrangements entitled, "disconnect". Work is taking place on this in between my heavy Porcupine Tree touring schedule and I hope to be finished by the end of the summer. So far, final drum and bass tracks are complete and I'm spending all of my time until the next Porcupine Tree touring leg tracking guitars. As in my past releases, Mark Prator is on drums and Andy Irvine and Dave Wehner on bass. Also, I have been working with Dean Tidey, who has been on hundreds of records and spent the last ten years touring with the UK band "Feeder." Dean is producing my new songs and playing guitar as well. I'm very excited about this collaboration and I think the results will be worth the wait. I have big plans for releases this year! This first set of 10 songs will be followed up by an EP (electric/acoustic) and another EP (all acoustic) by the end of the year. Additionally, I am in the process of mixing and mastering tracks from my performance at the 2009 Marillion Canadian Convention for a new download only release, which will soon be available in my download store. More information will be available about that soon! I have been in a really productive writing phase and now just need to find the time to get it all recorded. The Porcupine Tree touring has been so successful, that finding time to finish the solo work has been a challenge. Also, in the past few months, Mark Prator and I moved our studio business, RedRoom Recorders to a new location... come and take look... www.redroomrecorders.com. Last year while supporting Marillion at the Canadian Convention in Montreal, I had the chance to play with the band Sun Domingo. They recently released a recording of their shows in Montreal called "LIVE in Montreal / Marillion Weekend 2009" through Racket Records. I really think you will love this band if you didn't get a chance to hear them, and they are giving away a few tracks for FREE download here: http://bit.ly/sundomingo Also, I played on one of the tracks from on their upcoming studio release "PIECE EP," and the track is "MadMaze" which is set to release on June 22nd from Rock Ridge Music. You can find more info at www.sundomingo.com ... hope you enjoy! I hope to see you all out on tour somewhere soon...stay well... John Wesley And, if you guys don't know already, his entire solo discography is available for free, legal download on his homepage: http://www.john-wesley.com/Downloads.html
