OFF: Porcupine Tree

[Tony]

The new CD, "Deadwing" has a number of excellent tracks.  "Arriving
Somewhere But Not Here" is a fine driving rock song (12 mins long) and
"Glass Arm Shattering" is a hybrid Radiohead/Pink Floyd song.  The best song
on the CD is probably the poppiest - "Lazarus".  Outstanding.  I've just
ordered five of their CDs - you can get "Stars Die" on 101cd.com for GBP
5.99 and "In Absentia" (2 disc) for £5.89 from Amazon.co.uk.  I have still
to order "Coma Divine" but will no doubt, very soon.

I think I like them. I have one album (I think it's their first) that's
mostly laid back instrumental prog stuff but the first day we were in
the studio to record our new album Paul Special played the first cut
from their new one and I was quite impressed. It sounded a bit like
what we're trying to do with our new stuff. I'm tempted to download it
from iTMS because I don't have the patience to get it from the store
and maybe I only want that one cut anyway.

I have bought many tunes from iTMS and the sound is really OK. Usually
I burn it to CD and listen on my boom box or diskman. I got Frances the
Mute and it has provided me with many hours of enjoyment.
