Though Porcupine Tree's permanent lineup was in place by the time Sky Moves Sideways was complete, it was actually a combination of old and new, with a number of tracks once again done by Wilson on his own. Regardless of the provenance of one song or another, though, it was another fine release under the Porcupine Tree name, continuing the excellence of Up the Downstair while achieving a new liquid sense of drama and overall flow. Barbieri's keyboard skills alone made for a wonderful addition to the ranks, easily capturing the slow sense of unfolding atmosphere and elegance combined from earlier Porcupine Tree work while adding his own touches here and there, a touch of playfulness and improvisation. The Edwin/Maitland rhythm section sound like they were born to work together, able to both set slow, spacy moods and quick gallops and dance-skewed approaches both. Wilson, meanwhile, is still himself, calling to mind strange lyric images of rural collapse and romantic connection in his ever stronger, commanding but never straining vocals. As for guitar, there's subtle delicacy and headbanging overload and plenty of space in between for more. Overall, there's not much in the way of immediate sonic difference from Up the Downstair, more a sense of exploring and establishing styles, almost as if the bandmembers were getting used to working with each other. The tripped-out title track bookends the album (perhaps in a not so subtle nod to a similar sequence on Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here with "Shine on You Crazy Diamond"). The real winners, though, are the jazz-touched acoustic/electric dreamscape of "Stars Die," with a great lead melody and overdubbed chorus from Wilson, and the immediately following "Moonloop," an instrumental calm then rocking jam that's credited to all four members. ~ Ned Raggett

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Awesome
One of my favorite bands. Moonloop is fantastic, combining actual soundclips of the original moonlanding with "Pink Floyd" style music, but Porcupine Tree goes one better, in a way that needs to be heard to be explained. A must have.

5 stars Mesmorising!
The first time i heard the 34 minute version of 'The Sky Moves Sideways' i was blown away by PT's amazing creativity. I made straight comparisons to MUSE and Pink Floyd. However Steve Wilsons musical style and grace is unlike anything ever heard before by essentially a one-man band. This is an absolute must-have for anyone with any shred of good musical taste.

I'm in. I'll be buying every album with Porcupine Tree on the front. For me, right now, music doesn't get any better than this.

The day that Butch Walker runs out of melodies will be a dark day indeed, but he shows little sign of decline on his fifth solo effort.

Bill Monroe's music has undergone a sea change since Alison Krauss first burst upon the scene in the 1980s. Krauss threw the door wide open for other female traditionalists, while adding a modern sheen to the most rustic of country music styles. Alecia Nugent, like Krauss or even Dolly Parton, combines country-flavored vocals with a contemporary bluegrass sound on her sophomore effort, A Little Girl...A Big Four-Lane. What immediately strikes one, whether listening to the upbeat opener, "Too Good to Be True," or ...
The Neverending Continuous Flow
Juiced The Neverending Continuous Flow CD  (2006)

Sky Moves Sideways album
CD $15.19
The unique style of Juiced can mostly be classified as rock, with some funk and jazz influences thrown into the mix as well. The band is made up of Matt Cherchio playing guitar, Tim Martone on bass, Brian May playing drums, and Erik Spangenberg on vocals as well as some piano. Juiced was formed three years ago by Matt, Tim and Brian, who recorded a number of songs and even produced a self titled album and a demo togehther titled "The Groove (demo #1)" with Brian singing. However, in the summer of 2004, after a series of conversations the band decided to look for a new singer. Matt and Tim discovered that their camp friend Erik, who had obvious vocal talent, and lived only an hour away from the Montclair area may be able to be a fourth possible member of the band. At camp, Matt and Tim taught Erik a number of songs that they had written with Brian to see if Erik could possibly join the three in a recording and potentially join the band. A few weeks after camp ended, Erik drove down to Montclair and went through with a recording of "The Sun Is Mine." After listening to the result and experiencing the chemistry with a new vocalist, Erik became the fourth member of Juiced. Practices are limited to weekends due to driving constraints and distance between band members. A normal practice can consist of everything from recording a few songs, to rehearsing, and also writing new material. Juiced tries to get together ...
Soul Satisfied
Brown's Bag Soul Satisfied CD  (2006) (Import)

Sky Moves Sideways CD music
CD $17.15
This album is my thank you to Artist, Songwriters and Producers such as Gladys Knight, Teddy Pendergrass, Frankie Beverly & Maze, Curtis Mayfield, McFadden & Whitehead, Gamble & Huff, and other Soul Artist of the 70's. With each mention of "Old School" around the world, you should stand and take your bow as your contribution to the world is absolutely clear and unchallenged. You are amongst my greatest influences and I hope you hear pieces of each you in me as I wish to honor you and remain true to the 70's soul tradition.

For fans of soul music, I hope this makes you remember that "Reggie had a set Friday night". Everyone was there and when you got there, the blue light was glowing from the basement and man was it on. Since the "set" had to accommodate everyone, Reggie would turn on the strobe light for those that couldn't dance to funk and then back to the blue light on tracks that made you want to dance real close. That's what I wanted to achieve with tracks like "Rain" and "Can't Let Go". So while listening, if the mood strikes, feel free to unscrew that bright white bulb, clean the dust off the blue light and hold someone close for 70s sake.

Shouldn't a song remind you where you were, what you were doing and who you were with the first time you heard it? Isn't that the magic and purpose of soul music? I hope "Touch My Heart", "You Love Me" or "More Than Friends" create a special personal moment for you. What would Reggie's set be if we didn't Bop or Step? Hit me with "Contagious", "Open Your Soul" or "Stay" turn the strobe light off and it's on. Oh yeah!..I promise to be smooth and not step on your toes. Remember whispering in Reggie's ear "man play something fast". Why is it that girls always danced better than us on the fast tracks? Revisit that night with "Me Around", "Toss "N" Turn" and "No More Love Remix".

I believe a soul song should make you smile, make you love, make you cry, make you laugh and most of all make you remember. After all, isn't that why it's called Soul Music? Let's never forget Reggie's set. That was the time of our life. That was "Old School" and I'm proud to have been there, with you. See you at the next set and until then do one thing for yourself!.. Keep your "Soul Satisfied".

Ward Brown of Brown's BagBlues & Soul Magazine5 stars and 'Album of the Fortnight'"...Best cut of the lot though is a shimmering real old school ballad called "Rain" - and it not just the title and the rain effects that remind me of the Dramatics, it's the overall soulful feel. One of the year's best indie soul sets."Justsoul.

net5 stars"...I will remember driving in my car on a chilly English Autumn morning in November 2006, blue skies all around, the sun beaming down between the golden brown leaves of the trees, listening to this album. It was a beautiful day to soak up ...
