Arriving Somewhere But Not Here - Porcupine Tree (Full Cover)

All tracks recorded, mixed, mastered and produced at Innuendo Studios.
This has to be the most ambitious project for me yet. "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here" is a track, the sonic scape of which defines the sound of Porcupine Tree for me. And yet again, I'm very proud of how this has turned out for being recorded and mixed entirely in a makeshift, untreated room.
Note:
All the parts were performed live.

Since PT Doesn't Seem To Be Ready For a Reunion Just Yet! We Have "Anish Puthuraya" Performing PT!

[@AnishPuthuraya]

Haha, well, I'm ready to play PT anytime of the day! 😄

[@axollner6722]

well.. they might have heard your wish :D

[@Spalanzani99]

Now they're coming on tour! They have to be aware of Anish! jajaja!!!

[@AnishPuthuraya]

@@axollner6722 I'm stoked! Gonna attend their in Boston this fall :)

[@AnishPuthuraya]

@@Spalanzani99 Haha I know! So excited to see them :)

[@abey271990]

Oh what have you done Anish?! One simply doesn't just take a PT song and recreate it with such great detail. I'm an atheist but God bless you brother!!! I am making it a personal challenge to get this video atleast 10K more views. And a humble request to all PT fans...please get this video the attention it deserves...Anish has done his job...it's time we do OURS!

[@AnishPuthuraya]

Oh my god, that’s so nice of you brother! Really thankful! ❤️😀

[@paulrob2006]

How the heck do you figure this stuff out? You are just amazing. And playing the drums and bass on the synth, holy smokes.

[@AnishPuthuraya]

Hehe, thanks a lot for the support yet again Paul! I'm very familiar with the song, having listened to it maybe a couple hundred times. I guess it's due to that that I'm familiar with all the nuances. Regardless, thank you so much for the kind words!

[@goyal61]

Bro! this is so good! It is almost like I am listening to the original song!

[@AnishPuthuraya]

Thank you so much bhai! ❤️

[@kirkericson2722]

Greetings from the USA. This was absolutely note perfect! I could've sworn I was listening to the studio recording from Deadwing at times. Just amazing....

[@AnishPuthuraya]

Kirk Ericson Greetings! Thank you so much Kirk! Really glad you enjoyed the listen. Appreciate it 😄

[@ritambanerjee7334]

Gonna learn the solo from this video. This is probably the closest someone has ever been to arriving somewhere but not here 👌

[@AnishPuthuraya]

Thanks a lot man! Appreciate your support 😀

[@enigmaticnebula1570]

Amazing cover, especially with the vocals. I find that Steven Wilson's vocal style is so unique so I was surprised to hear how close you got to it. It's unfortunate that there's no bass or drums (for me at least since I'm a drummer and bassist) but I don't think it's fair to expect all that from one person doing a solo cover.

[@AnishPuthuraya]

Thank you so much! 😄

[@electricmadhu]

Amazing job bruv. A hardcore Wilson fan myself, its super hard to recreate this. Especially love the balance of the mix, the drums and the bass tone. And ofcourse the Akerfeldt solo. Kudos!

[@AnishPuthuraya]

Thanks a lot Madhusudan! Really appreciate the compliments ❤️😀

[@romilvats]

Anish, my man. I am at a loss of words. This is so perfect. I never thought it was possible to recreate this track, let alone by just one guy. My God! I'm just... Take a bow, sir. Take a bow.

[@AnishPuthuraya]

Thank you so much sir!

[@larleynicolearosteguiaguil5078]

Esto es legendario, es increible como lograste hacer que cada instrumento vaya al mismo tiempo en tempo y es super buena, disfrute escuchandola como a al original

[@AnishPuthuraya]

Muchas gracias por las palabras amables. Realmente aprecio su apoyo. Saludos desde la india!

[@anantjoshi3404]

This one, and trains, both are simply amazing! I love the painstaking depth to which the music has been covered! Both of them feel eerily close to the originals, and that speaks volumes about the effort put in! Brilliant work!! Would really like to see a cover of start of something beautiful from you!

[@AnishPuthuraya]

Definitely keeping that song in my list. Thank you so much for the support man! Really appreciate it ☺️

Man, this is epic. Almost brought me to tears to think about the toil behind this. You are truly a master at the craft. Really inspired. It's an irony that stuff like this does not get viral and popular, but i guess thats also what makes it special.Hats off to you. Looking forward to more.

[@AnishPuthuraya]

Thanks a lot once again Daipayan. I'm so happy to know there are people like you still supporting Prog music in India. Really appreciate it. Cheers man!

[@gururajchadaga]

Oh wow this is wonderful! How many hours did this take?(excluding the practice ofcourse)

[@AnishPuthuraya]

Thank you Gururaj! It's been a while, but I think it took over 2 weeks from start to finish, including all the practice. So keeping the practice aside, maybe 1.5 weeks?

[@fusion5711]

Please man... Please please... Tell me how to play the synth in this song

[@AnishPuthuraya]

Thanks for listening! If you are talking about how to play it, the video might be a good guide for that. But if you are talking about the sounds, then if I remember correctly, I used an (Arturia Analog Lag 4) plugin preset and then ran it through (Output Movement) to make that happen! Good luck!

Wake up call to stop complaining about gear and learn some skills 😅 you perfected this on a very humble setup.

[@AnishPuthuraya]

Thank you so much man! Yes, you can achieve a lot with minimal setup.

[@Melissa31179]

Call me a madman but I dare say that arriving somewhere but not here is PT's best song ever

Dude why does your vocal timbre exactly match Steven Wilson's own? God damn this is a near exact match to the original song (in fact I might not even have noticed its a cover if I played in the middle without knowing what version I was playing). Do you have a version of the song without the synths, and does it sound nearly as good? Because I want to make a similar sound with my band but we don't have a synth player

[@AnishPuthuraya]

Hey! Thanks for the kind words! Really appreciate it. Unfortunately I don’t have any other versions with me. They got lost over time. Sorry!
