Post 018 – PORCUPINE TREE – “Fear of A Blank Planet”

Hi, after some time without that many updates I’m back with an album that I “accidentally” heard and that immediately caught my attention. That album is the most recent one by Porcupine Tree, an english band founded by Steve Wilson.

Here’s the single that caught my attention:

“Fear of a Blank Planet” is a very good album, mixing so many different genres that becomes difficult to label it, many fans usually label Porcupine Tree as “progressive rock”. However, Steve Wilson is know to dislike this tendency.

Wilson: “Porcupine Tree music is very very simple. There’s nothing complex about it at all. The complexity is in the production. The complexity is in the way the albums are constructed. All of the work goes into creating the texture and the sound, and making it sound right. There’s nothing complicated about the music at all. And that’s really why I have to take issue when people describe us as progressive rock. I don’t think we are a progressive rock band. I think we’re just a rock band. I think what leads people to give it that kind of progressive tag is the way the songs are produced.”
