| | Porcupine Tree Deadwing DVD Audio Porcupine Tree Discography of CDs
 (18 Customer Reviews)
This release contains a music video for Lazarus and EPK "Making The Video".
Considering their cinematic scope, it's fitting that the songs on DEADWING were actually inspired by a film script written by Porcupine Tree mastermind Steven Wilson. Not that this should come as any surprise to longtime fans who know the UK act's reputation for churning out epic progressive rock so sonically descriptive that it's practically visual.
Porcupine Tree creates works with complex structures that do not alienate or obscure the songs themselves, pieces that are dark and psychedelic without being sinister. On the 12-minute opening title track, weighty guitar riffs and spacious synths immediately recall Nine Inch Nails, but swooping melodic changes give way to ambient passages, making it plain that this is no industrial-rock rip-off. "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here" begins with processed backwards guitar, building into a harmony-fueled crescendo before dropping off completely to reveal sparse picking over loops and clicks. Guests Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth) and Adrian Belew (King Crimson) contribute vocal harmonies and guitar, respectively, and the disc comes enhanced with behind-the-scenes video footage as a bonus feature.
Recorded between March and October 2004, this album has been mixed into DTS 5.1 Surround in collaboration with Elliot Scheiner. Guest appearances on the album feature Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth and Adrian Belew of King Crimson. Included are three bonus studio tracks and video content not on the CD version, lyrics, photo gallery, bonus music video, and making-of material.
Porcupine Tree: Steven Wilson (vocals, guitar, hammer dulcimer, piano, keyboards, bass guitar); Richard Barbieri (keyboards, synthesizer); Colin Edwin (bass guitar); Gavin Harrison (drums, percussion).
Additional personnel: Mikael Åkerfeldt (guitar, background vocals); Adrian Belew (guitar). Porcupine Tree Deadwing Songs | 1. | Deadwing |

 Well...
The music is great, you'd expect nothing less from PT, and you will get nothing less. However, the DVD has nothing great to offer... nothing that great about it, and in most CD players you will not be able to play it.
I do encourage you do get Deadwing, just not the DVD :(.

Fluid, never dull
This is an album that has a fluid movement to it. Best listened to in full, at least the first time. I love the range of sounds. Still surprised that Porcupine Tree is not more well known. Highly recommended.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Porcupine Tree Continues To Push The Limits
This release from Porcupine Tree is downright inspiring.The creative focus and compositional punch raises the benchmark in this brave new world of prog-rock.I am 53 years of age and avidly scour the world for what I consider to be the best prog-rock! This album re-kindles the fire.

Reference quality
This is THE reference standard. The production qualities are superb.
The cutting-edge of progressive rock, Porcupine Tree are at the top of the heap and they are pulling away each time they release another album. Thank God for them...it was getting pretty sparse and depressing out there on the "rock frontier" with the commercial crap and the mediocre 'reinventions' of eighties and seventies bands.
These folk are the epitome of what a class act ought to be and its obvious they have respect for their fans since they consistently put out finely crafted and beautifully produced music. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Keep it up and all the very best to them.

| | Corinne Bailey Rae Sea CD (2010)
Deadwing album
$14.49
After selling four million copies of her debut album, an effort filled with her precious brand of neo-soul and the uplifting hit "Put Your Records On," singer/songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae lost her husband Jason Rae suddenly and took two years off to grieve and recover before returning with her second effort, The Sea. On the album's opener "Are You Here," lyrics like "Wait till you see those eyes" and "He'll kiss you make you feel sixteen" suggest she's just fallen in love, but the fascinating idea behind The Sea is that it never explains itself, even if there's a new richness in Rae's soft and oh-so-tender voice that suggests something has changed deep inside. As such, the song's "What's it even mean?" ...

The Beatles always stood apart from their peers, a self-evident statement that sadly extended to the treatment of their catalog in the digital age. Where all their contemporaries from the Byrds to the Who have had their catalogs remastered and reissued in deluxe editions, sometimes several times, the Beatles remained stuck in the early days of digital, their 14 albums plus PAST MASTERS singles collections remaining untouched since 1987. The 2009 reissue campaign corrects almost all the problems of the original 1987 CDs: the sound and ...
