I get the impression this is a good place to start with PT if, like myself, you're unacqainted with them.

Yea, In Abstentia is good but I like Lightbulb Sun just a little better.

Glad to see something recent that I like posted though!

I haven't picked that one up yet. Have you listened to Pineapple Thief, same vein as Porcupine Tree.

I like "In Absentia" a lot. but, it's possible the "Lightbulb Sun" to be better. I can't decide myself.

 I love this album. It is probably one of the more accessible(?)  albums from the ones I've heard. ( the other ones being "Lightbulb Sun" and "Sky Moves Sideways)  Hell, a couple of the tunes could conceivably be played on the radio!!!&nb

 Porcupine Tree is one of my favourite bands, everything from Signify to IA is high quality music.

Yes, but no !

I put all the PT CD at the same level...

Maybe "Up the downstairs" is a little higher for the Marvellous "Small Fish-Burning Sky"

hi,

I've sort of predicted that this album had to come in 2001, after blackwater park. And I'm really pleased about it that this album came, it is a really good album. Got some good memories about this album (1st time sex (i'm dutch.. don't know

Yeah, I think Pineapple thief is a little more poppish but still really good.  'In Absentia' is one of my favorite al

Damm. this one is really bad, just as others Porcupinetree CDs. Nothing is prog or spacey here...just an horrible collection of variety pop songs.
