| i excluded porcupine tree becuase most people will straight away move to that project, im not saying thats a bad decision, porcupine tree's my favourite, but i just wanted to see which of his lesser known projects were most popular |

I'll go with Blackfield, as well. Excellent mood music and a great change of pace. ------------- "Literature is well enough, as a time-passer, and for the improvement and general elevation and purification of mankind, but it has no practical value" - Mark Twain |

| I've only heard No-Man, Bass Communion, and Blackfield. I really like Blackfield, and I want to get more from No-Man. I still have to listen to Bass Communion I more, but I don't think it's my type of music. Right now, I'd say I like No-Man the most. |

Hmm, No-man, Blackfield... No-man, Blackfiled... I went with no-man, after thinking a bit, but still though that can easily change. Both are fantastic, as is everything Steven Wilson does. |

| No-Man is great, SW with Fish is also note worthy but Blackfield is "melancholy melody" central! Such beautiful pop-prog is deserving of massive applause. I have used Blackfield as a stepping stone to proggier horizons when trying (mostly successfully) to educate (as opposed to convert) the uninitiated! |

1. Blackfield 2. Bass Communion 3. Continuum Have several No-Man albums but I do not like them as much as the above. The second in the Continuum series is absolutely fantastic. Also like Ghosts on Magnetic Tape and Loss from Bass Communion. Like both Blackfield albums but like the first a little better than the second. If you don't own the 4 cover version albums that are available - you need to. 2 more to come. |

None of them, Porcupine Tree is the only thing I can somehow accept from mister Steven Wilson...

| The guy knows how to set a EQ and turn the right nobs and play the same popular notes in different sequence , but lets face it hes no Frank Zappa is he , just calling a spade a spade |

Ive never heard of him claiming to be Zappa!
I have just started listening to his IEM stuff and am impressed. ------------- "There is a lot in this world to be tense and intense about" MJK |

Nop! Now I give them second voice ! i think people doesn't like continuum because it is a bit Experimental!  or because it is not in archhives -------------

Not really a side-project or collaboration, more of a guest appearance - but I'm quite partial to "Indigo Falls", an album by Suzanne and Richard Barbieri. ------------- What? |

well robert fripp appears on every porcupine tree record now, aswell all the no-man stuff
doing sounscapes and guitar usually
he probably is on the othe rprojects aswell, no doubt, but i havent checked for sure
how long is it going to be until theres a fripp-wilson collaboration?
thatll be the best partership ever! they coudld proabaly fight crime aswell, and get a van and drive around solving mysteries
