THE SKY MOVES SIDEWAYS

The sky moves sideways is basically passable space rock, and not too much like Porcupine tree's current output. Most of the songs here are very nice in parts, but overlong. The opening minutes of the title track are excellent, for instance, but the final section stretches on for too long. The 2 disc rerelease seems to be more effective than the original, one disc package, with moonloop being moved to the end, which makes for a good climax. Overall, though, there are too few ideas here to justify the length of most of the songs.
