THE HARMONY CODEX

This is the album SW is most proud of because it is the culmination of many decades struggle to find the right balance between aspiration and realization. All the Porcupine Tree albums were a search for effective jadedness, which essentially means people who don't like pop music have an outlet. He exhausted that direction and spent the last 15 years trying to find a voice that reflected his true love of blended musical styles. He is a true fusion player as his devotion to ABBA and David Bowie, along with YES and Gentle Giant fuse into his vision which is this album. This is 4.5 stars for effort and 4 stars for result.
