I really like them. The songs Remember Us and We Subside from Variations On A Dream are amazing.

well, its early days as I've only listened to PE1 once ... I find DG's raspy vocals quite annoying, although his voice soars like a bird in places, too ... I like the melodic bits, overall its quite an emotionally demanding listen. I guess I need to give it more time. I also have Remedy Lane & 12.5 Live to listen to yet

By the way, is there any way of getting hold of the double cd of Variations? - I hear the 2nd disc is amazing... I have llooked everywhere ... not a sign of eve a 2nd hand copy
[/QUOTE] The 2-Disc version of 'Variations' (limited to 1000 copies) is getting quite hard to find now, although I know somebody who got a copy for less than £10 on eBAY. That is probably the best place to find one nowadays. The '8Days' bonus CD is indeed very good too. |

My copy arrived yesterday and so far have listened 3 times now and I think its certainly on a level with the quality of Variations. Fave track so far is Clapham! By the way, is there any way of getting hold of the double cd of Variations? - I hear the 2nd disc is amazing... I have llooked everywhere ... not a sign of eve a 2nd hand copy

Pineapple Thief is a lesser known Porcupine Tree in my ears. Hell, even
the name is similiar! I do like their work though, in the same way I
like Porcupine Tree's work. Good stuff, I need to buy an album.

I loved 'Variations On A Dream' (Double CD), and '132': but i thought '12 Stories Down' was a little disappointing. I hope '10 Stories Down' is an improvement.

10 Stories Down is a really good album. It's several steps up
from Variations in production and song writing. Also, the new
version of the album is a lot better than the beta version.
There's more variation and the songs have all been changed a little or
(in the case of Light UP Your Eyes) been completely reworked.
Also, there were only about 100 copies of 12 Stories Down that had sound problems. Mine is just fine. Edited by Spanky |

Its actually 10 Stories Down, although they did release an earlier version of it called 12 SD. This was released in limited quantities due to a problem with the mix - apparently it sounded so awful - "sonically flat" according to the PTh website - they re-recorded the album and jiggled a few songs around, and hey presto ... 10 Stories Down was born! |

Pineapple Thief are one of my latest addictions and I'm a huge Porcupine Tree fan. Go to Pineapple Thief's website: www.pineapplethief.com and download the free MP3s (samples and full-length songs) and listen to some great innovative tunes. The song "We Subside" is simply a modern-time "Strawberry Fields Forever." This is some very dynamic music that I think most modern-day Progressive Rock fans will like.

I'd be interested in hearing some reviews of 12 Stories Down. I have Variations On A Dream and I absolutely love it.

Bruce Soord (guitars/vox) is really the mastermind behind Pth & is a very cool dude ... he also personally sorts out the mail order stuff and sends nice friendly emails ... I really like that!
Sorry TP ... *ringing bell* UNCLEAN! UNCLEAN! |

I saw Pineapple Theif last November. They were really quite good! Although the next act was IQ, so they were no match i'm afraid!
