I'd suggest "In Absentia", "Deadwing" and "Fear Of A Blank Planet" as good
Porcupine Tree starting points (that is, their last three albums proper).
There are many light moments, tempered with some good old-fashioned rawk.
I'd have thought "Shallow", from "Deadwing", would be right up your
Soundgarden street! Having said that, I was aghast when I first heard
"Lazarus", from the same album, as it sounds a little too close to Coldplay
for my liking...

Looks like DVD-A; the PT 5.1's are brilliant. Doesn't matter too much to me,
actually, as my Pioneer can do SACD & DVD-A; the PT DVD-A's sound as good as
any SACD I own.



And regarding my addy coming up in replies; thanks for keeping me posted.
You've enabled me to identify that posts from Outlook have this problem, and
those sent from the iPhone don't. I'll unsubscribe & resubscribe & see if
that fixes things.



Facebook : Yes, it's slow, ugly and infuriating. I'll certainly be gone as
soon as they start charging. However, with my policy of blocking apps and
just using it for chat and to make sarcastic comments, I'm quite enjoying
it, particularly now I've found out that I can adjust my settings so that
reports of particularly satisfying bowel movements aren't spattered across
everyone's wall like some sort of dirty protest. During one of my inaugural
visits, however, I failed to make the distinction between a private message
and a wall post. Sorry to the person whose friends I exposed to one of my
more vicious rants!

Fripp would wipe the floor with Jaz, if the latter would let him get a word
in edgeways.

Speaking as someone with all the King Crimson Collector's Club CDs, and an
earnest desire for Mr Fripp to relent and play some KC dates in the UK (I
seriously considered flying to New York last year to see them play), I
wholeheartedly concur.

I also like the Pink Floyd that is a) Waters inclusive and b) not about to
launch into Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast. I wouldn't describe Floyd as prog,
though.

Speaking of Fripp, I thought I had done all my purchasing of KC albums, what
with the original releases, the first CDs, the "Definitive Edition" CDs
(hah!) and the remasters.

I now hear that borderline genius Steven Wilson of the transcendental
Porcupine Tree is remixing the whole bloody lot into 5.1 surround! The 5.1
PT discs are so fantastic, though, that I'll have to do a fifth dip.

Hell with Roger Waters. Put Jaz Coleman in a room with Robert Fripp. After
all, they would have more in common. Robert Fripp was the man responsible
for turning Daryl Hall on to Alester Crowley. 62 years old, and can still
shred wallpaper for 5 miles on guitar! I'm so sick of everybody acting like
Pink Floyd was the only progressive band in the world! They Are Not!
