Porcupine Tree - Pure Narcotic vinyl 2020

[@kertsang2053]

As much as I like SW's solo work, nothing will top the way the Gavin Harrison-era PT played complex, yet tightly constructed songs with a one-of-a-kind sonic chemistry; Technical drums, silky smooth bass, biting guitars and atmospheric synth landscapes.

[@carrisar]

Thats the essence why pt were such that great band

[@mrcrowly11]

not to mention wilson's vocal layering

[@guillermo8975]

that's the reason they were great

[@kian2961]

Couldn‘t have said it better

[@irti_pk]

Imagine PT with Guthrie Govan as the lead guitarist and Gavin on drums. If only!

[@karolkochanowski3809]

The sound quality on the vinyl is just insane.

I didn’t know album existed❣️❣️😎 the acoustic set and the entire RCMH show was phenomenal 😎 Black dahlia ❣️

[@agemoth]

@@fibwick6275 I prefer the originals by far.

[@hanesoid]

what?

[@flintandsteel1743]

This version of "Black Dahlia" always hits me harder than the version on the album. Something about the vocals just works better without any affectations

[@skywalker605]

Fully agree 👍

[@IloveYngwie1111]

I love this band so much! I just discovered them this year 2020 and they are my new favorite band! I’ve listened to everything I can find! They are just what Steve Wilson says a genre all on their own. Porcupine Tree music!!! I just LOVE IT !!!!!!

[@agemoth]

I've known a good handful of their songs for years and always enjoyed them, but for some insane reason never delved into their album catalog until this year! Why the Hell did I wait so long?? They're PHENOMENAL!

[@Quintessentguy]

As a drummer for years (since 1968) who evolved lovingly through all the prog bands I noticed this new, amazing, drummer in King Crimson. Gavin Harrison. Best drummer currently playing. Introduced me to the best band currently (?!) playing. What talents, Gavin, Stephen, etc al.

[@ChrMmn]

So you've unleashed the f-ing fury of PT (to put it in Malmsteen's in-flight tantrum terms. There's no going back to/for Lars Lannerback). SW & PT are the perfect band to get obsessed with because there's so much great music.

[@adiskoan]

I know it was recorded eight years ago, but it's so refreshing to listen new studio recordings from PT after so long.

[@Gravityys]

Black Dahlia here sounds beautiful.

[@Willa885]

Stranger... Love it..

[@ChipMatthews]

Didn't know this existed until right now. What a treat to hear new versions of these songs after all these years!

absolutely loving this - great to find it when I'm praying for PT comeback - love from Pakistan

[@SuleimanElkhoury97]

Omg all my college years are coming back i wanna cry. Glad i was growing on such music

[@mk1st]

A massive album early on often spells the death of a band which is why I'm glad that PT never became mega-huge. . They just kept getting better and better, then broke up and Steven Wilson kept on going and is going to end up who knows where.....amazing. Perhaps a PT reunion is in the cards, which WOULD be huge.

[@jeffreygrove]

Steven claims he will never reform PT because there's no point in 'going backwards', _but_ he has gone back on other things he's said in the past, so who knows. That said, between the delay in releasing/promoting The Future Bites and our current pandemic mess, it seems unlikely it could happen within the next two years.

[@JuanPablo-rr5dy]

Also he started that weird film project. I like it, but I don't know much of it jsjsj

[@jeffreygrove]

@@JuanPablo-rr5dy LOL, he's been involved in "some sort of weird film project" seemingly forever - I guess you mean the supposed resurrection/reworking of the Deadwing material that was intended for some kind of film that was never completed (or even started?). As with many of the things he says he's doing, I'll believe it when we have a finished product!

[@JuanPablo-rr5dy]

@@jeffreygrove Jsjsjsjs, you're right. In this time I was talking about the one which already has a teaser with him doing a little participation like a beggar; I only watch it once, but I think that is not the Deadwing film xd

[@irti_pk]

@@jeffreygrove True, I think he said something similar about not being committed to a long term romantic relationship because it would interfere with his art. But he's happily married now, so hopefully he changes his mind about PT. Thing is, I just recently read an article where he said he isn't inspired by the guitar anymore, which sucks because guitar is a big part of PT.

[@pauldeacon406]

Wow! I really enjoyed the stripped back Porcupine Tree. The musicianship still shines through. I wish this had been released on CD...!

[@federov100]

A week ago, I had never heard of PT, but I found references to Gavin's elite status in drumming circles-and yes, I am blown away with Gavin's insane technique and capabilities, but also with the music and the whole band. Can't believe I've gone this far without knowing about them.

[@jeffreygrove]

Gavin pointed out that he never auditioned for King Crimson - he was simply asked to join, Fripp having seen him perform dozens of times on the 2007 KC-PT tour. He was easily my favorite of the 3 drummers up front when I saw Crimson back in 2018 (or 2017? can't even remember anymore), and he has the most amazingly distinctive sound and style. On top of being amazingly technically proficient and really good at playing "in the pocket" as drummers like to say, he also is so adaptable that he was able to play on SW's Insurgentes album without sounding like himself. Whenever the other PT manages to make it back here to the States I am going to go - not only have I been getting more into their music of late, but for sure Gavin is an attraction unto himself. Cheers!

[@22ucespatriotwarrior88]

I thought that in 2001... Was like where have I been.. they were already out in the 90s! But gaving Blackest Eyes grabbed me instantly as a used to be drummer! Good thing about music.. is good ages Great can't imagine hopefully I'll be listening in 10-20 years! Wilson is amazing .. he usually has a great band! I listened to Raven about 10-15 times and finally said this guy's drumming I know! Looked it up Marco Minneman lol hadn't a clue but new! ✌️✌️🇺🇸

[@22ucespatriotwarrior88]

Lyrics You have no interest in the past Where you came from Where you're going to There's a cliche in your eye File the edges down Soon be underground There's nothing here for you under the sun There's nothing new to do, it's all been done So put your faith in another place Never seem to get away from this It's all falling into an abyss So put your foot on the pedal boy All you know is secondhand The bullet passed through the cage inside you You stole the only thing you love So unfaithful, the drop is fatal *You were the one that made her cry You were the one that told her lies You were the one whose brain moved in circles Neither and adult or a child Now it only moves you forward And back to the blackness at the same time Burnt out tracks, the world went black Futile Lost my head, the world went red Futile It's not true, the world went blue Futile You were the one collecting space You were the one just saving face You were the one whose brain moved in circles Neither and adult or a child Now it only moves you forward And back to the blackness at the same time Burnt out tracks, the world went black Futile Lost my head, the world went red Futile It's not true, the world went blue Futile *You keep me waiting You keep me alone in a room full of friends You keep me hating You keep me listening to the Bends No amount of pointless days Can make this go away You have me on my knees You have me listless and deranged You have me in your pocket You have me distant and estranged No narcotics in my brain Can make this go away I'm sorry that, I'm sorry that I'm not like you I worry that I don't act the way you'd like me to You find me wanting You find me bloodless but inspired You find me out You find me hallucinating fire No narcotics in my brain Can make this go away Have we ever been here before? Running headlong at the floor Leave me dreaming on a railway track Wrap me up and send me back *The first thing that I saw as, The fisherman smiled at me Were empty people dressed in grey, Floating out to sea The rain lashed down in darkness A lizard blinked an eye And time stopped in the silence The small fish gave a cry The next thing that I saw as, Things were fading fast Were dreams of children's laughter, Smouldering to dust The rain lashed down in darkness A lizard blinked an eye And time stopped in the silence The small fish gave a cry The last thing that I saw as, my life passed by Were fields of empty people, laying down to die The rain lashed down in darkness A lizard blinked an eye And time stopped in the silence To watch the burning sky. *Ghosts in the park Appear just after dark Killers, children ... But no-one has a harp They look like tourists It makes me want to laugh Under floorboards It's hard to fly a kite Underwater My cigarette won't light Standing in the shade I'm getting frostbite Strange as I seem I'm getting stranger by the minute Look in my dreams They're getting stranger by the minute When I'm drowning You drag me up to you Rings in the water My only residue But you're just fiction And I'm a twisted boy

Why?

[@lerxzt6701]

Got this album today from Burning Shed. Its just wonderful. I really miss PT (have seen PT twice here in sweden, in Gothenburg and Stockholm), and after that seen Steven four times (Raven, Hand Cannot Erase (happy to seen Guthrie and Marco playing), 4 and a half and the last time To the Bone Tour). I have during the years also enjoyed the music from the other past members of PT (RB, Colin and also the great Gavin (King Crimson and Pineapple Thief). I can also recommend John Weasley who has made great music since PT dissolved. I want to thank the great British record store Burning Shed for all the great releases :) Looking forward to see Pineapple Thief in Stockholm when the Corona stuff pass.

[@Willa885]

I have seen October 14th 2010 Royal Alber Hall and I miss PT... soooo much

[@wirralnomad]

You do realise that the 4½ tour was the second leg of the Hand. Cannot. Erase. tour with 4½ as an extra add on feature? You really just saw the Hand. Cannot. Erase. tour twice around with two different line ups due to Guthrie and Marco leaving after the European First Leg of the tour due to commitments with The Aristocrats with Dave Kilminster and Jason Blundell taking over for the Americas leg of the tour onwards.

I hear you USMCSDI, i felt the same until i really started listening close to SW solo work, and Gav's TPT work. Steven is moving in a new way that really is stunning and new, and it may lack the progressiveness of PT, but it has stunning value for the Post-prog era. Same can be said with TPT, they are completely different than PT, but Gav adds the intricate drumming to TPT's amazing sound landscape. I encourage you to listen to The Pineapple Thief, as they are really growing in darkness, and skill.
