Porcupine Tree curiosities

There is a longer version of Even Less ... on the album Recordings, I think.

Yep, great sample, eh?

I don't have Stupid Dream or Warsawa yet, but they're on the list. Intriguing that the lyrics are different.

Have you ever wondered what those numbers were at the end of Even Less?

Do a google search for "number stations"

Did you know that the guy talking at the end of "Last Time to Evacuate Planet Earth Before It Is Recycled" is the leader from that religious group that commited suicide when that comet was near Earth?   First, I don't bring you a answer but a question, I know well Stupid Dream but what is Warzsawa (I know that's a city in Poland), a live album? And if is it, is it good? Second, the religious group you're talking about is it "Le temple solaire" or in english "The solar temple"?

Yes, Warzsawa is also the name of a live CD recorded in Warzsawa, Poland.

Here it is.

I like PT live albums and I find this to be the best (biased opinion, I have only heard two live albums from them, Warzsawa and Coma Divine).

I don't know the name of the group, but I found a page where it is said that they called themselves "Heaven's Gate" and that the mass suicide was in 1997.

Its WARSZAWA, NOt WARZAWA!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was in the Heaven's Gate cult and I was the only one to survive the suicide attempt. Shot myself 3 times before I noticed this was stupid, and it hurt alot too.

IITS MR GOVERNER, NOT ARNOLD!!!!!!!!!!

You mean Mr. GOVERNATOR?

I've never listened to that live version but I know that "Even Less" was originally intended to be a(n) (anti-)religious song and had different lyrics with obvious allusions to Mr. Christ. Finally, Wilson took the edge off it by changing the lyrics for the release of "Stupid Dream". Maybe the version on "Warszawa" is the revived original version?

Nope - it was the 34th trip that was the "bad one", not 34 minutes.

Urban legend probably?

Not Urban Legend at all. The end of Even Less sounds like a CIA short-wave radio "number post" from around 1990. CIA "Cynthia" perchance???
