| Not quite In Absentia, but very good
I enjoy this CD very much. The instrumental Signify is a good start to lead into the rest of the tracks. Some of my favorite tracks... Waiting Phase 1/2 (great tune) Every House is Wired Idiot Prayer (instrumental) DarkMatter (awesome) I would have given 5 stars but that is only reserved for CD's I think are great top to bottom, this CD has a couple throw away tracks like Light mass prayers and bornlivedie.

| Possibly their best effort
A classic! Porcupine Tree is my favorite band right now and I have most of their catalog. I like aspects of all of their releases, but Signify is quite possibly their best effort. The tracks flow into each other effortlessly and beautifully and yet each holds its own taken separately. Signify begins and ends rather quietly and has moments of meditative dreaminess, biting cynicism, and powerful, visceral rock. The track, Signify, is an explosion of mighty guitar, keyboards, drums, and bass. Sleep of No Dreaming is plaintive and simultaneously strong and emotive. Waiting, phases one and two has a mesmerizing thump, thump, while taking the listener on a mystical jouney, floating along on tasteful guitar and keyboard licks. The rest of the tracks take the listener to different places along a road touched by anger, contemplation, and inquiry before ending in the climactic Dark Matter, the album's best track, with its disturbing lyrics set to a beautiful and haunting melody melding into the mighty guitar work of Steven Wilson and back down into the calm waters layed out by Richard Barbieri, Colin Edwin, and Chris Maitland on keyboards, bass, and drums, respectively.

| One masterpiece...
I'm glad with my purchase. PT moves on a widest range of sounds and experiences. This one were like an intro to the PT "space" we delight right now.
