ON THE SUNDAY OF LIFE...

Here we have Porcupine Tree's debut album, (really just a Steve Wilsion solo album) and with me being a Porcupine Tree fan boy I am only going to give this two stars. And recommend it to Psychedelic/Space Rock fans or PT fans looking to know how the band came to be.

The album contains a lot of Psychedelic/Space noodling which some people may enjoy, but I find very hard to listen to. I saw anther reviewer write that this album needs a lot of patience, and I would have to agree, for the noodiling does not take you anywhere.

The actual (normal?) songs on the album are all top notch though. You have some hints at what PT has become with tracks like And the Swallows dance above the Sun, and It will rain for a Million Years, and Nine Cats. Then some odd, but enjoyable techno space rock songs like The Nostalgia Factory. And finally you have the PT classic Radioactive Toy that really shows us what PT has become almost to the fullest extent (and can be heard as at nearly every PT concert).

Overall not a bad album, eight tracks ten filers, but not highly recommended.
