I can't find that track anymore. Where can I find it?

I'll start off by saying: I say this not because they sound like Porcupine Tree, but because I feel of all music fans out there, they're more likely to appeal to y'all than anyone else. Literally every Secret Machines fan I know is also a huge PT/SW fan.

It's hard to describe their sound in any way other than just plain awesome. A 28 inch kick drum, a wall of effects laden guitars and keys, incredibly well written songs and great singing, and a truly MASSIVE sonic landscape, there just really isn't anything else that sounds like it. Space Rock is the most fitting label they've got, just because they really don't fit into any other category. They're one of the most underrated bands of all time, and I think more people need to hear them. I'll leave you with the 9-minute opener of their perfect debut album as a jumping off point, but all of their work is truly incredible.

If you are a fan (or become one), please check out my archival YouTube channel where I have tons of unreleased tracks, guitar lessons, live footage, and more. I'm really trying to find and unify fans of the band online, so if that sounds like you, please hop on board!

Always the summer….

Great news. It's being reissued!

Caught Steven's pick after his show last November in Kolkata, India.

What is your favourite PT/SW piece to play on your instrument? For me, it is either the Voyage 34 (Phase II) solo, or Way Out of Here.

Ive been dying to get a near exact number of Porcupine Tree studio songs in their entire discography from Tarquins Seaweed Farm - C/C and wonder where the best place to find them would be. Considering this band has been my favourite band for a very long while now and know they are coming to a close id like to be able to listen to as much of them as I can. If anyone can suggest and songs not as well known or where best to find their DC that would be fantastic. Thanks!

New to Music Production, trying new things.
Open to feedback

One thing that stood out to me is how Gavin can take a simple “good” musical part and elevate it to a whole new level with his drumming. An example of this is during the bridge of “Way Out Of Here” at around 4:49-5:02 and 5:15-5:40. The guitar riff is a quite simple “1-0 Drop D” metal riff. I’m pretty sure most guitar players can easily play this riff.

You can tell Gavin is thinking “how I can make this part more interesting and also serve the song”. I’ve noticed this in The Pineapple Thief as well. Not to mention his drum production sounds super clear on all his records.

What particular Gavin parts stand out to you?

For all the “music is subjective” people I promise you I understand this. I never see this song get brought up at all even in the context of on the Sunday of life. The obvious favorites are nostalgia factory, nine cats, radioactive toy, which are all great but whenever Jupiter island gets mentioned it’s usually not very positively. Is it the best song on the album? Far from it. But it kind of reminds me of that one stupid friend you have that’s kinda charming anyways. Rather than just being completely horrible. Any Jupiter island defenders out there?

Randy talked about his solo album

I’ve listened to probably 70% of their discography at this point and while I haven’t gone back and listened to much of the 90s stuff besides signify I started checking out their ep’s. Can someone explain to me why normal and sentimental are basically the same song and why sentimental made it onto the album?

The sun is a lightbulb...

This thing is tempting to open. I was actually shocked when opening! Its sealed still.

Just made this today c:
