I have always preferred the earlier, space rock material of Porcupine Tree (pre-Stupid Dream). In fact, I first heard of Porcupine Tree in 1996, they were described as a "mellow Ozric Tentacles". That's not exactly correct, but I was glad to discover PT. So in 1997 I bought the American release on C&S, and not one bit disappointed. The title track has a bit of that Pink Floyd-like feel, especially that slide guitar. They go into a techno-influenced part that might remind one of Ozric Tentacles. There are many spacy ambient parts. "Dislocated Day" is a more rock-oriented piece, with sinister overtones. "Stars Die" is a rather mellow piece that leads up to the great instrumental "Moonloop" (it's too bad the version on C&S was only 8 minutes, I've heard the full version, which is twice as long). "The Moon Touches Your Shoulders" is a great spacy acoustic piece, which leads up to the concluding title track. I noticed that this is structured similar to Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here (specifically "Shine On You Crazy Diamond") in that the album has a lengthy piece that starts and then later concludes the album. with several shorter pieces in between. In fact, even Steven Wilson wanted this album to consist of one 50 minute piece, but that didn't happen, as you'll notice if you've heard the extended version heard on the more recent Snapper reissue (included as a bonus cut). This was the album where Steven Wilson decided PT become a full-on band, as Richard Barbieri (ex-Japan), Chris Maitland, and Colin Edwin became full-time band members and appeared on some of the cuts here (they did make brief guests on Up the Downstair too). No longer was Porcupine Tree some joke band, this was a band to be reckoned with. I know many people feel that Porcupine Tree only really found themselves starting with Stupid Dream, but since I prefer their earlier stuff. If you like their more psychedelic, spacy stuff, this is a great place to start.
