    Great retrospective of early Porcupine Tree.
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2019*

Excellent two disc set by an early Porcupine Tree. As usual the musicianship displayed here is absolute perfection. CD1 gives us music from 1991-93 and is slightly different from later PT recordings. There's more of a spacey feel to this music compared to discs like "Deadwing" and "In Absentia," but that doesn't matter because of the quality of the music being played here. I really like the first track "Radioactive Toy" a super addition to the PT canon. "Nostalgia Factory" has some interesting treated vocals and "Voyage 34-Phase One" is a very, well, trippy number and is the longest cut on Disc One. Being trippy it describes an LSD experience. Ahh, the good ol' days! "Synesthesia (extended version)" and "Phantoms" are two previously unreleased songs. A very positive thing as any "new" PT is a very welcome development. "Up The Downstair" like "Voyage..." would be used as album titles in a few years, both nice versions. Overall this first disc is extremely satisfying.CD2 is comprised of music from the years 1994-97. This disc gives us three songs which make their first appearance on an album, the beautiful "Stars Die," "Colourflow in Mind" and "Fuse the Sky." These three were only available on a single/ep. Also two tracks are provided here that are previously unreleased, "Man of Wood" and "Signify II." As I stated any "new" PT is welcomed with open arms, however I was slightly underwhelmed by "Man of Wood." It did have some interesting vocals though. The superior musicianship continues and Steven Wilson's vocals on both discs are absolutely fabulous as is his guitar. And Colin Edwin is his usual steady self. Disc two continues in a somewhat similar vein of  disc one giving the listener a version of a song which later would become an album title, "The Sky Moves Sideways-phase one." This cut is a beautiful 18 minutes 37 seconds long. Love those long tracks! Overall this is a welcome and essential collection every PT fan should own.

    An Amazing CV.....
  

*by O***H on Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2005*

Still don't get the name, but that's all right. The set here is quite inclusive and it charts well the trajectory of this band from a solo excursion by Steve Wilson into a working quartet. The renewed interest in the back catalogue spurred Wilson into re-mastering, and in some cases enhancing, his oeuvre. It's well worth it. Having come on to this band only recently, I'm glad to have picked this up. There are a lot of rarities on these discs that serve the reputation PT has built well. I like all of them.For the future, both in concert and on compilation, I sincerely hope "Radioactive Toy" disappears. It is a juvenile Pink Floyd knock off that might have been OK at 3 minutes, but in its current renditions wears out its welcome quickly and repeatedly. It is a dumb song with a banal lyric. Wilson needs to get past it."Stars Die" is nearly the best track on this set, along with "Sever" and his 18 minute opus. But all of it works superbly. Once PT becomes a 4 piece, and in concert 5 piece, band, there is a dramatic jump forward in sophistication and dynamics. Wilson's writing expands as well. So all in all, this is an informative as well as entertaining retrospective.Still I'd take the WARSAW live disc, In Absentia, and Deadwing over all. Those three are ones you can hnag your credibility on for all time.

I only discovered this band a couple years ago thru digital streaming. They have been around for years. Just glad I found them. People miss out on so much great music staying main stream.
