Did Ken just put a Radiohead album over Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. I would say that was a bold, wonderful move by Ken if it were any other album.

You know what? Today, having just listened to Hail to the Thief (and comparing it to the disaster of Riot Act, these are like how to and how not to make a great topical album), it just nips YHF for the second spot. Tomorrow I might feel differently, but today this is it.

virtually ditto to Ken's list (deleting Arctic Monkeys) though I will add the latest by Belle and Sebastian which is viritually perfect...I will add Spoon--Gimme Some Fiction, the Strokes debut, latest by Modest Mouse,latest by Ray Davies and probably a few others I can't conjure up right now...... Still haven't heard the new B&S, damn it. I really need to check that one out. Dear Catastrophe Waitress almost made my list. |

Nice contrast between Maarts' and Kenny's lists, but both cool. I wish NdY posted here more often. I'd love to see what that chap came up with.

Hey maarts, which Porcupine Tree album do you think would be a fair introduction to their work? I'm thinking of giving them a shot...

Hey maarts, which Porcupine Tree album do you think would be a fair introduction to their work? I'm thinking of giving them a shot... I'd give the compilation Stars Die a try first as it's a compilation of many of the strongest tracks PT have made. There's a definite evolution in PT's work. When Steve Wilson started it was a one-man project and it sounded like a bit nutty take on prog but slowly got more serious, more spacey and more beautiful. Albums like Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun are real band-albums with keyboardist Richard Barbieri (ex-Japan), bassist Colin Edwin and drummer Chris Maitland (later replaced by Gavin Harrison) in good form, even though it's the voice and guitar of Steven Wilson that dictates. Currently those two albums are unavailable but will reappear in a few months remastered with bonus tracks, as have most of the early albums. Signify, the album before those two, reveals the most comparisons with Pink Floyd in the atmosphere and closing track Dark Matter is my all time favourite PT-track- brilliantly layered prog with a guitar solo that Gilmour would love to call his own. Stars Die is a double album and also features some rarities so it's not an album that you'd throw out once you start collecting all albums (and you will!). The last two CDs, In Absentia and Deadwing don't have any tracks represented on Stars Die and are different because they show a more rockier type of prog with heavier parts intertwining the more mellow passages. In Absentia is of those the better album and I certainly can recommend that one. Man, I could keep on going on about the Tree forever. Hope it helps! |
