The whole song is extraordinary : 10 of course.
But the very end of this song and lasts notes make all the hairs on my body stand on end and generate something like ecstasy![good vibes](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/good-vibes.gif)

I started following PT back in 2002 after reading about them in Mojo Magazine from the U.K. After hearing Blackest Eyes, I was intrigued. And became a follower of them as well as anything the brilliant genius Steven Wilson puts out as this band or his solo stuff. His drummer Gavin Harrison I believe is the best drummer alive right now. They as a whole are the Prog Gods that everyone should know about. Believe me, I am doing my best spreading the word.![whisper](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/icon_whisper.gif)

Having just followed the tip of a listener here few days ago for watching them on youtube with their Anesthetize I'm disappointed a little. It's equal with reading a very good book, and watching the movie: your phantasy imaged something other as you get to see.
Anyway, great band!
Anyway, great band!

No nonsense that it is about RP playing any specific music, but it is about the flow of the music which makes me want to cry sometimes

I would never got to know this band without RP and since I heard it here, I bought with a joy about every album of Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson and have visited his concert alredy 4 times.

If any band is worthy of the epithet "Godlike", it is Porcupine Tree. An absolutely superlative band, as faultless as it's possible to be.

This whole album is good. Blackest Eyes, Trains, The Sound of Muzak are some especial faves.
Hard to believe it's almost 20 years old.
Hard to believe it's almost 20 years old.
So PT is back in the studio as I type this, recording a new album! Never thought that it would actually happen based on SW's comments, but I am so glad that it is. Now we just have to cross our fingers that they do a tour to the Southeast US.
Excellent!!!
You PT fans ARE aware aren't you that Steven Wilson, contrary to his previous remarks, has once again reformed Porcupine Tree and they've produced a new album due for release June 2022 with a European tour as well.

Radio Paradise really rocks today, and the sequence is mindblowing: Listening Wind by Peter Gabriel, Londong Calling, Shine by Younger brother, The Wall crossfading with Angel from Massive Attack, and now this. Couldn't be better.

Thank you Bill!! Always a pleasure to hear.
I had never heard of this band until I listened to RP. In fact, I've discovered several groups here that don't make it to commercial radio. It all helps keep me sane in this age of pandemic.
I wholeheartedly endorse this product and/or service.

I don't think the OP meant the songs were in "shuffle" mode, but that they were on the OP's Apple iPod shuffle. Which I think can be set to play songs in order.

A couple of great Pink Floyd songs followed by one of my favorite by Massive Attack followed by one of my favorite PT.
Come on man, too much winning, and I need to make a phone call.

I first heard PT with Prodigal from this album. Love these guys, especially the earlier stuff. Ordered Wilson's new album.
So what do you think?
Took me a while to get into some songs and a couple of the lyrics strike me as lame (not fond of excessive use of clichés) but frankly, once again, Steven Wilson knocked it right out of the park as he has consistently done since the Raven album.

dripping with content, PT creates energy...
My son once asked me to pick a song...any song, to do a sound check on a new audiophile stereo system. I picked this one...We thoroughly enjoyed the 'test'.

I just swooned a lil bit from that Massive Attack "Angel" segue to this. Love it.

10 since the third listen. My favourite cut off the In Absentia album, perhaps the best album that PT put out.

Hmm, a vinyl record revolves at 33.3 rpm.
Just a coincidence, or . . . ?

Woke up and had my morning coffee to PT and now the Sun is setting and I'm, er, WE are enjoying PT again. Thanks Bill for rounding out the day.

The recent Milwaukee rioting incident where a black cop shot a black gun wielding man and the subsequent rioters called for "burning down the suburbs" (based only on mere rumors the cop was white and the suspect was unarmed and running away) is a wake up call for how crazy things could get once we sink to this level... https://bluelivesmatter.blue/bodycam-sylville-smith-milwaukee-shooting/ Martin Luther King would throw a fit if he saw this kind of stuff going on, and so should everyone who believes in his legacy and message.
Interesting comments Smile.
The truth is that lots of brown and black people in the rest of the world (not just the rich OECD countries) also like British-style progressive rock/art rock/space rock but frankly it is largely a pasty-faced cultural phenomena.
I personally do not have a lot of patience for political correctness. Racism and bigotry are not acceptable excuses for political violence.
The so-called oppressed also should take more responsibility for their own misery. Be they Black Americans, First Nations in Canada or Palestinians suffering under the yoke of US-backed Israeli ethnic cleansing.
On occasion I have joked that my wife and I are white trash and I am amazed at the negative reaction of so many white people. Must be a deep-seated sense of socio-economic class insecurity.

I find Porcupine Tree music exhilarating, life enhancing and superlative at all levels
Love every minute.

Two great drummers in a row (Peart then Harrison). Nice job Bill.

Now, we know why folks like living in Eastern Canada: more concerts.
No 2016 Steven Wilson concert in backwater Vancouver.![{#Frown} {#Frown}](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/icon_frown.gif)
Incidentally, bought 4 1/2 yet? The re-do of Don't Hate Me song with Nina Tayeb singing (originally on the PT Stupid Dream CD) is great.

I just love this band/artist. He's made an old genre seem fresh.
