You really should get Warszawa James,it's an excellent live album.

Well, before the DT concert in April, I got On the Sunday of Life at the Virgin Megastore (and my friend got Voyage 34, sadly, no Stupid Dream or Lightbulb Sun there though :(  ). Mostly Steve messing around in his studio, but it has some great songs like Radioactive Toy and Nine Cats (and Linton Samuel Dawson's hilarious)

You must be having bad luck finding them because I got Voyage 34, Up the Downstair, and Signify in a store, but it was a used record store that had a tendency for classic rock and prog specialties.
 
I haven't had any luck in any of the local music shops and retail music stores by me anyways. I can find all of Mr. Akerfeldt's albums no problem however. LOLWink ... I knew I should have picked up those albums (They had like everything) I saw at the Porcupine Tree concert but noooooo I just had to get the tour shirt.

I think it's very cool that Steven is here! You don't see many popular musicians on random internet forums very often, so a chance to ask them a queston or chat with them is incredible, similar to meeting them. While i'm still making up my mind over whether Mr.Wilson being here is legit, it seems to be quite authentic.

Because of this thread and the presence of Mr.Wilson, I listened to many of the samples of PT here, and the Deadwing samples of the PT site. I'm planning on getting Deadwing soon, well... it's on my list of bands to get albums from, which include Gentle Giant, VDGG, PT, Opeth, Agalloch, Beyond Twilight... it's a longer list than that...

Mr.Wilson- What's your opinion on bootlegs and music downloading/ p2p file-sharing? Also, I'm curious as to why you are so enthusiastic about vinyl and making your albums on Vinyl.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Mr. Wilson,
 
Now that you and Porcupine Tree have signed on with Road Runner, Can we possibly expect the reissuing of Porcupine Tree's back catalog albums in the US???
 
I've been dying to hear some of the older material and I can only find "In Absentia" (2002) and "Deadwing" (2005) on store shelves.
 
BTW, I saw you guys in NYC,NY last year and you put on a fantastic show. Robert Fripp was the opener for you on that tour. (It's a shame your video moniter only worked for half of your set that nightLOL)

Im gonna agree with the fact that Steve showed up and now hes winning.

Maybe Mr. AKerfeldt will show up? lol.

Im happy to have Steve! To those who do not like him, lets be nice, its not often we have an artist giving his time and "hanging" out with us more or nice. You don't have to like him, but attempt to show him some respect, whether you agree with his opinons or not.
back from the dead, i will begin posting reviews again and musing through the forums

Caught and passed...it was 28-16 for Mike about the time Steve started posting!  Tough choice but I had to vote for Mike though based on his vocal ability, the contrast between his death growls and excellent clean vocals is hard to top.  Saw PT at The Mod Club in Toronto last year, excellent show.

I'm going to the October 6th show, woo!
 
BTW does anyone know where I can get Lightbulb Sun? The only place I've found it available so far was amazon.com and it was like 40 bucks

Is Adrian playing drums? Guitar?  The guy is so talented he could probably do both at the same time.



Haha! That's so true!

PT is playing in Tokyo Hiromi Memorial Hall on 29th November - that's not official yet, so there's a bit of a headsup for you - see ya there!

I'm a big Magma fan - their 1975 live album is one of the greatest live albums ever in my opinion - Offering, Udu Wudu, Kohntark, Wurduh Itah, MDK, all very fine records.

I really enjoyed the discussion between AtLossForWords and Mr.Wilson <3 I have already stated that I 'm a huge Signify - Lightbulb Sun fan but, my vote goes to Mr. Mikael Åkerfeldt for his ability to change from brutal - death vocals to normal ones in a beautiful way. Both his two ways of singing are unique and his melodic tone breath melancholy painting the songs with very dark colours. His performance in Blackwater Park is just indescribably great.

God. Me too. Unfortunately not a popular opinion when you live in California and are under the age of 30.
