Members LithiumZero Posted March 15, 2006 Members Share Posted March 15, 2006 Killer band. I love "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here" on Deadwing. In Abesentia just kills start to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members touchstone001 Posted March 15, 2006 Members Share Posted March 15, 2006 Crazy coincidence. I just got into this band within the last 3 days via Amazon recommendations from Kula Shaker (another top group) so far, Headsong, Shesmovedon and Last Chance to evacuate Earth... are ones that are firmly in the head.

Members 17 Tubes Posted March 15, 2006 Members Share Posted March 15, 2006 I came across them through Lime Wire progressive rock room. I've heard of them but never gave thema listen. So I did. I thought it was pretty cool . Great imagination. INspirational. Not you run of the mill pop stuff. A nice blend of familiar melodies and edgy atmospherics with a dose of rock thrown in. Pink Floyd meets the goo-goo dolls, I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 0rbitz9 Posted March 15, 2006 Members Share Posted March 15, 2006 I saw them Live at the Keswick theater in Philly a while back. It was pretty much all loud hard rock through the whole show, while their studio works seems more diverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cacheek Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 Really love steve wilson's sound. I have a Podxt and can't seem to it though Haven't seen in concert because I live in redneck Mississippi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 17 Tubes Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 Funnny you should mention a Pod XT. Just opened for The Fixx, and that was what he used. Had a sound very similar to all his old recordings. I beleive he used the Marshall for overdrive and the XT for FX though, so it wasn't his tone generator. Still I give the XT more credit, now.

The rest of the album was Marshall. He used a Bad Cat Hot Cat on In Absentia, and that's still his touring rig (with a TC G Major and Line 6 rack delay) as far as I know....and I appreciate Porcupine Tree. Beautiful, dark atmospheric stuff, great rhythm section... they rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members G-smak Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 The only Porcupine Tree I own is "The Sky Moves Sideways", which I appreciate now, though at first I regarded it as a mere Floyd clone. What would be a good second purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hot Cat in In Absentia freaking kills.....one of my favorite recorded high gain tones...he really should have stuck with that rig for the studio.

I've read a couple interviews in which Steven Wilson said he used Marshall for the heavy tones on Deadwing. I don't remember him saying what model. One of them was in Guitar One, I think. I didn't find anything on the Porcupine Tree site, and a quick Google search didn't turn up anything of value. And I agree about the Hot Cat tone. It's unique enough to be his signature tone if he wanted. Have you heard about the project he's planning with Mikael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
