Staircase Infinities is in my opinion the best pre-Stupid Dream era Porcupine Tree release!

I've find it hard listening to long compositions like The Sky Moves Sideways nor have I ever managed to get through the entire Coma Divine in one take. This mini-album is more consistent, taking the element that I love the most and not making them feel too repetitive. That being said, I realize that this particular genre is not really for me, although I do enjoy occasional slip back into this territory on Porcupine Trees later releases!

The performances here are smooth and have something to offer for both a passive and active listening experience. The Joke's On You features a memorable melodic vocal performance which together with all the underlying music arrangement makes the song a real treat which will unite both the fans of the old and new Porcupine Tree in one big cheer.

***** songs: The Joke's On You (4:06)

**** songs: Cloud Zero (4:39) Navigator (4:47) Rainy Taxi (6:44) Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape (9:28)

Total Rating: 4,14
