Quote: Porcupine Tree are a progressive rock band formed by Steven Wilson in 1987 in
Hemel Hempstead, UK. Their music is difficult to categorize, being
associated with both psychedelic rock and progressive rock, yet having
been influenced by trance, krautrock and ambient due to Steven Wilson
and Richard Barbieri's penchant for the Kosmische Musik scene of the
early '70s, led by bands such as Tangerine Dream, Neu! and Can. Since
the early 2000s, their music has been leaning towards progressive metal.
The band are noted for their multimedia approach, with their live
performances including screens displaying a different film projection to
each song. This visual element was introduced during the tour for the
In Absentia album, when the band started to work with Danish
photographer and filmmaker Lasse Hoile. This involvement created a
distinctive image for the band.
Despite being signed to both Roadrunner and Atlantic labels, the band
has their own record label, Transmission, which they use to launch some
independent releases and special editions of their albums. Their 2007
album Fear of a Blank Planet was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best
Surround Sound Album.
The music of Porcupine Tree is often described as melancholic by many
people, even though it is not necessarily linked to Steven Wilson's
personality. He states music is a way for him to channel all his
negative feelings, and `an exorcism of those elements within`, finding
it "easier to write songs about the negative side of the world than it
is about the happy side of the world." In the Warszawa live radio
broadcast album, before performing "Stop Swimming", Wilson can be heard
saying "the saddest music is often the most beautiful."
