The second Porcupine Tree album is considered by Steven Wilson to be their true first release since their work prior had been compiled from tapes made over several years. This album was a more concerted effort and as such was a greater work. It was hailed by a reviewer as a masterpiece in the psychedelic genre so if you’re interested in that sort of music you really should give it a try. The album is called Up the Downstair.
As Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson moved forward they gained more fans, at one point being called the Pink Floyd of the ‘90s by adoring legions. They’ve never sold millions of records but they maintain a significant fanbase in the underground music scene and play sold out shows every year. Most impressive is the fact that they continue to release records and will likely do so as long as Steven Wilson wants to make psychedelic music.
