It's mind blowing for me to realise that it is almost exactly 20 years since Porcupine Tree made their first ever live appearance, at a small club called the Nag's Head in High Wycombe, UK on the 4th December 1993. To commemorate the anniversary here is a recording from the archives of the first song played at that first ever show, the Van Der Graaf Generator / Dead Can Dance sampling, David Gilmour meets The Orb fusion of Voyage 34 (years before he did actually collaborate with The Orb!), the birth of PT as a band and a performing entity.  It was recorded straight from the mixing desk so the balance is a bit strange, but actually considering how nervous we must have all been, it's not bad at all.

Porcupine Tree - Baby Dream In Cellophane

Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun

Written in 2001 for a planned metal style collaboration with Mikael Åkerfeldt, this song has been revisited several times since, but I could never really make it fit the style of whatever I was doing at the time.  In the meantime the album with Mike finally happened, but in a completely different style to the album we planned 10 years ago (it's coming out in April).  So finally here is the orphan song Cut Ribbon - this is the latest version from the 2010/2011 Grace For Drowning sessions.  Gavin Harrison on drums (recorded in 2008), all other instruments SW.  

Cut Ribbon

A two bass versionof Henry Purcell's "Music for a While" 

I play both parts, one on double bass, the other on my Wal fretless.

Porcupine Tree - Moonloop [unedited improvisation]

In 2010 Anathema released We’re Here Because We’re Here, the band’s first new album for almost seven years. The album was awarded Classic Rock’s Prog Album of the Year as well as a host of other accolades and the producer, Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree), has described it as “definitely among the best albums I’ve ever had the pleasure to work on.”
The band now return with Weather Systems, their brand new studio album. The album will be available as a limited edition 2 disc set which will come packaged in a deluxe digibook and feature a 5.1 surround sound mix of the album.

Anathema have been at the forefront of the UK rock/metal movement for many years. They began their journey as pioneers of melodic heavy music, influencing a myriad of bands to follow them, before outgrowing all genres and limitations as they fearlessly explored new territory and new ways to express feeling through sound.

Formed in Liverpool in 1990, the band’s sound, and musical vision has continually evolved over the ensuing years while always remaining true to their original goal of creating forward thinking, meaningful, passionate and honest music. The line-up is really a collective of two families who were quite simply born to do it. Anathema consists of brothers Vincent, Daniel and Jamie Cavanagh, alongside childhood friends John Douglas and his sister Lee, who is an incredible singer in her own right.

There is a deeper bond in the group that transcends usual band politics, ego, and self-interest. They have a shared vision: to make the most incredible music they possibly can, and it seems, despite the lavish praise heaped on the band for their past work, that they are now taking their work to a whole new level.

Freedom in Your Head

Porcupine Tree - Hatesong

I found this on an old computer - it's a demo for either the In Absentia or Deadwing albums, something that never got used - I can't be totally sure because while it shares lyrical themes with the songs on In Absentia, one of the melodies seems to relate to another piece from Deadwing era.  I don't remember too much about it, other than I guess it wasn't good enough to get any further than this.  Rescued from the abyss, so I only have a compressed audio file of this one, sorry about that.

Godfearing (demo 2001-03?)

  Godspeed You Black Emperor - East Hastings  

Recorded this live on video for self-promo in early 2011. My favorite song by the band Porcupine Tree, "Trains."

Recorded using:
FL Studio 9.8 beta
Shure Beta 57A dynamic mic
Washburn D10SCE dreadnought
Zoom G9.2tt (as preamp)
E-MU 0404 PCI interface
NI Guitar Rig 3
iZotope Ozone 4
Celemony Melodyne 3.2
Martin 80/20 Bronze strings, extra light (top e .11)
monitored using Behringer HPS3000 headphones

Porcupine Tree - Trains (2011)

These 5 songs were originally included as part of a special 3 disc hardback book edition of Insurgentes released on my own label Headphone Dust a few months prior to KScope issuing the standard version. I had around 25 songs in total from the recording sessions, several of which were dropped because they didn't measure up (some of the other leftover pieces are now released on the Insurgentes film DVD), but I felt these 5 songs were as good as the album material, so it wasn't for lack of quality that I left them off, more to do with context and not wanting the album to be too long as a listening experience.  Instead they were included on a separate CD only available with the special edition (and later on vinyl releases).  The whole idea of the special edition was to experiment with doing something really special with the packaging that took advantage of the multi-media aspect of the project (film, photos, music), and to sell only online.  They were very expensive to make and could only be printed as a one-off edition, so I had to guess at how many to make - even then I became so convinced that I wasn't going to be able to sell them that I priced is such that I basically lost money with every copy sold.  Later on I found myself wondering if the small minority that still complained that they had been "ripped off" in only getting a CD, a CD EP, a DVD, and a ten by ten 128 page clothbound full colour book for their £34 were the same people that later sold their copy on eBay for 10 times what they paid for it.  Anyway, I digress....  Here for those that missed out on the special edition, are the bonus Insurgentes songs in full resolution WAVs, enjoy! Best, S

SENTIMENTAL

No quiero ser viejo jamás,
Y no quiero gente que dependa de mí.
No es divertido que te digan
Que ya no puedes culpar a tus padres.
Estoy encontrando que es difícil
Colgar de una estrella.
No quiero ser...
No quiero ser viejo jamás.

Malhumorados y aburridos se quedan los niños,
Y de esta manera desean que pase cada día.
Colocados en el centro comercial juegan los niños,
Y de esta manera desean que pase cada día.

Realmente no sé
Si me importa lo que es normal,
Y la verdad es que no estoy seguro
De que las pastillas que estoy tomando ayuden.
Estoy malgastando mi vida
Con este dolor interior.
La verdad es que no sé...
Y no estoy realmente seguro...

Malhumorados y aburridos se quedan los niños,
Y de esta manera desean que pasen los días.
Colocados en el centro comercial juegan los niños,
Y de esta manera desean que pasen los días.

Porcupine Tree - Sentimental

Here we all are
Born into a struggle
To come so far
But end up returning to dust

Oxfam panache tips his hat
(laces undone)
He has no truck with idle chat
(work to be done)
The songs he learned from scratched LP's
Stops in mid-flow to sip his tea

He strums the chords with less than grace
(songs we all know)
Each passing year etched on his face
(sun, rain or snow)
The words he sings are not his own
They speak of things he'll never know
