Vinyl record pressing reviews and nothing else

Porcupine Tree are an interesting UK based prog rock band based around singer / songwriter Steven Wilson. There is a strong influence of Pink Floyd as well as prog and metal, which ultimately results in a much more sonically interesting and melodically engaging blend than your typical prog rock band. Porcupine Tree records are pressed in limited quantities in Europe, so US imports can be very pricey. In this case, the record was manufactured (and purchased) in the Netherlands.

| Heavy cardboard gatefold cover has nice artwork, down to the labels on the records. I don't especially like cardboard inner sleeves though, as they tend to attract dust and scratch the records. | |

| No download, but lyrics are included on inner sleeves. | |
