matt1098 It was this tour i first saw them on, talked to Steven and Colin after the show, got my Moonloop C.D signed by them, they seemed really humble and approachable. Glad i saw them in the Delerium years.

RJ Very early, live, mostly instrumental, Porcupine Tree. So glad Steven Wilson dug this one out and remastered it. Great performance. Favorite track: Isnot / Radioactive Toy (Salford).

hinzebeans Awesome - Please release more early live gigs from the Delerium years :-)

about

Taken from the first date in a run of 4 UK shows in November 1994, which short though it was qualifies as the first ever Porcupine Tree tour. Almost one year on from their first ever live performance the band is beginning to sound confident, although this is still only show number 7 and the audience is a modest 60 people.

For this tour Porcupine Tree's set is almost entirely instrumental, with 2 tracks from the forthcoming album The Sky Moves Sideways newly added to the repertoire.

This restored desk recording includes 5 tracks (Up the Downstair and Always Never were also in the set but for some reason not recorded). As with most desk tapes the instrument balance is uneven - what was coming from the stage (the bass and guitar amplifiers especially) was not so present in the front of house mix.

Resolution 48k/24bit.

A beautiful ambient piece that starts fairly atonal and unfolds into something more accessible. When the choir fades in it almost becomes reminiscent of the haunting Raider Prelude from Steven Wilson's Grace for Drowning album. sleepwalking_in_the_rain

On even days my favorite song is The Court. This album is perfect mix of maximal layers of sound/musicians/thoughts/dreams produced/mixed in spirits of minimalism so that funk is funky and songs are songs. An eyes closed album as well as a wild party album. tipperottfan
