Porcupine Tree - Voyage 34 - Part 1

[@SETHWANTSAHUG]

My brother dropped acid in the middle of BFE Oregon... At night in the forest... He got lost in the forest and said the only way he got through the night is that he laid down on the forest floor, popped in his iPod and put this on... He fell asleep like a baby and woke up six hours later four miles from camp... Porcupine Tree saved my brothers life...

This is one fantastic Voyage that deserves far more recognition and attention than just 12K+ views (listens). Very emotional, I feel it.

[@Holohoutes]

One of the many reasons one should be admiring PF is for inspiring such magnificent bands as Porcupine Tree! BTW they were absolutely fantastic last night in Athens!

[@swinki33]

Genialne Drzewiaste Jeżozwierze.... mega-turbo-zaje....sta płyta... (dzięki, Cichy...) This is the kind of music that is evergreen, brilliant and so much amazing, like no other. Greetings from Poland for PT and PT's fans. Masterpiece!!!

[@Rumpeansikt]

I first heard this a couple of days ago, and I have to say this is the best song I have ever heard. And I have heard quite a lot.

[@errvinny]

"He sobs, as his joy turns to fear...¨ and the journey begins...just perfect!

[@KeII0GGz]

I got into a car accident while listening to this song and I think it saved my life because I was so relaxed when it happened I didn't tense up or anything, I just let the car do it's thing and I came out unscathed.....

[@Olsteradamus]

man I love that solo.

[@HRHTheSpaz]

I listened to this before going out to a Cemetary in the middle of the country.. I was SOBER and still got the Shit scared outta me

[@josemalveiro9581]

WOW !! just beautiful !!!

[@RonINtheBASSMENT]

Great Interpretation and mix is divine! Crank it up and listen..... allot of layering!

[@Innercitybuddha]

Had it up there... Got removed... Good luck, great track !!

[@G8tr1522]

4:34 "Brian has been amusing his friends by, chewing on some plastic flashbulbs" Lol

[@USMCSDI]

Love this song. As a matter of fact.... Porcupine Tree can do NO WRONG!

[@cassiejarvo]

awesome... great band!!!

[@RickPaniagua]

Thank you so much for posting this! I'll make sure to post a link annotation from my video of Phase III to your video! :D

[@spawnofhell2579]

MMMMM.....Flashbulbs!

[@lacrahuntington]

This song has all the riff from Pink Floyd's "Happiest days of our lives" and even the laugh, not that it's something wrong with that, on the contrary, Porcupine Tree must admire and respect Pink Floyd very much. Like the rest of us and the music world.

[@lambolp560422195]

1:57 - Another brick in the wall!

[@Aerillis]

I love how 1. I adore this song because it is amazing..well the whole album is.. and 2. My real name is Bryan xD I got a bit freaked when I heard this the first time and though it was about me

[@Nipkelodeon]

@SebVettel18 I Swear I've compared both at same time, and they're different. I love Another brick on t wall.. I love Voyage 34! But influences are permited ;o)

[@anyal1987]

@errvinny Entirely too perfect. I know exactly what that feels like, lol.

[@SolidBrianH]

@lexrussian2 Why would they regret it? This is AMAZING!

[@Blink182plus44equ226]

@slideon Was light sarcasm conveyed through feigning being inquisitive.

[@rafaelvrf]

IMPRESSIVE

[@FredericDrion-pu2zi]

steven wilson est le digne héritier de pink floyd et du rock progressif seventies dans son ensemble.

[@000MidnightSun]

acid is the perfect drug. and i wish nin would play "the perfect drug" in concert so i could fucking hear it live!

[@TheMarbleIndex3000]

cool story bro

[@Mentoospl]

2:00 sounds like Pink Floyd - The Happiest Days of Our Lives

[@SolidBrianH]

I love how my name is in this song :]

[@thecrimsonfloyd]

When does it sound like Plague of the Lighthouse Keepers? I don't really hear a similarity.

[@slideon]

@Capuano231 i agree, Pink Floyd is my favourite band. Porcupine Tree is good (not as good as Pink Floyd). However, this "phase" of voyage 34 has a repetitive riff stolen (almost exactly the same) as Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in The Wall (Part 1)". Listen to it and you'll hear the similarity.

[@whyareyougay4090]

Cypress Hill - Illusion

[@SebVettel18]

1:58 sounds just like Another Brick in the Wall Part 1

[@Korzenteapot]

hmm... sounds like Porcupine Tree.

[@crudip]

The Pink Floyd-ish guitar bit was probably subconsciously picked up by Steven Wilson, still it's pretty amazing where he took it.

[@doctormozo]

Shame this stops right in the middle of the guitar solo, thats the best bit!

[@WaterMellon]

@aryman79 the Album man was refered as a tribute to Pink floyd and LSD..it is not stolen..Learn first then speak..

[@garrysweet873]

Yeah, but is this trip really necessary?

[@ludogie]

It doesn't matter if it sounds like Pink Floyd. It's done good instead of all other rip-offs.

[@MrDragonsmoker]

Brainticket!

[@herowithpsp]

When we grew and went to school, there were certain teachers who would hurt the children in any way they could... Oops, wrong song.

[@S1W2E3D]

where the hell is phase 2!?

[@GregoMorgan]

We don't need no education that's not based on that kind of music.

[@jmrocker]

The way I've always interpreted it is that Pink Floyd is often associated with drug use, and I'm guessing a relatively large number of PF fans have gotten high while listening to them. So it only makes sense to use a riff reminiscent of one PF's most popular songs in a song dealing with drugs. I don't see why anyone cares, classical composers openly borrowed from each other's compositions all the time.

[@Mastermax345]

Fucking sweeeet

[@KapustaCuber]

Haha, another another brick in the wall.

[@crystina99]

@KapustaCuber LOL

[@aryman79]

the song contains stolen female vocals from ,,As the bell rings'' of Dead Can Dance. Plus the guitar sounds like stolen from David gilmour. bad.

[@slideon]

@Blink182plus44equ226 i see

[@Diego9290]

Wtf is Pink Floyd? Porcupine Tree is all that u need, dude.

[@luthierjustin1]

@shabutie and you are, get an ear

[@Rhye26]

Natural Drug

[@zeroburnradio]

tribute to pink floyd or just coincidence? hahahaha yeah porcupine tree!

[@fooldeth]

I don't see how Steven Wilson, as educated and aware of prog music as he is, could write this song without knowing how much of a Pink Floyd ripoff it is.

[@PennyDreadful1]

Im pretty sure he was.

[@ATABOFACID]

You can't have the 'complete trip' without the sound of Floyd now can you?

[@nepoxx5069]

Ripoff? You mean homage?
