I wouldn't really call them folk or blues though, more trippy ambient prog metal indie... in fact a bit of everything except folk & blues! |

21 Mar 05 - 07:05 AM (#1439549) Subject: RE: Porcupine Tree (band) From: Grab Your mates are wrong - Woodsie's description pretty accurate. I guess the best example is a modern version of Pink Floyd. I've not seen them live, but they're playing at the Junction in Cambridge soon, so I'm thinking about going and seeing what they're like on stage. So much programming in the songs, it's difficult to imagine it being done live, but it'd be fun finding out. :-) Graham. |

22 Mar 05 - 06:25 AM (#1440365) Subject: RE: Porcupine Tree (band) From: Dipsodeb I'd definitely agree with woodsie's description. One minute your listening to a very mellow psych track and just chilling out and then just when your brain reaches a level of relaxtion your blasted into a minefield of heavy rock licks that might only last a few seconds and then go on to something else. Whatever it is, it isn't boring and I think we will be hearing more from them in the future. Apparently they have just brought out a new album. I am also going to see them at the astoria I'm really looking forward to seeing how they produce the same level of sound on stage. ~Debs~ |
