DELERIUM EP

I'm a big Porcupine Tree fan. I think anything they put out is worthy of our attention. I do prefer the later releases, from Signify forward. I think the Delerium EP is simply unnecessary. For my money, the better tracks are "Signify" and the full-length version of "Radioactive Toy". "Signify" has the most drive of the four tracks. As I said I'm partial to the latter, less-ambient albums by PT. The longer version of "Radioactive Toy" is also good stuff.

However, all of this material is available on other PT albums. There's a good chance that fans of the band already have these songs. According to the Prog Archives administrators, this EP is no longer available. Maybe PT's record company feels the same as I do. I will confess I cheated by listening to this EP online. The band later released a more comprehensive Delerium collection. Each PT release is at least worthy of attention, so I'm giving this EP three stars for being nonessential.
