Porcupine Tree - Voyage 34 - Part 1

[KeII0GGz]

I got into a car accident while listening to this song and I think it saved my life because I was so relaxed when it happened I didn't tense up or anything, I just let the car do it's thing and I came out unscathed.....

[ludogie]

It doesn't matter if it sounds like Pink Floyd.

It's done good instead of all other rip-offs.

[GregoMorgan]

We don't need no education that's not based on that kind of music.

[ThirdLunarRising]

I love how 1. I adore this song because it is amazing..well the whole album is.. and 2. My real name is Bryan xD I got a bit freaked when I heard this the first time and though it was about me

[RonINtheBASSMENT]

Great Interpretation and mix is divine! Crank it up and listen..... allot of layering!

[crudip]

The Pink Floyd-ish guitar bit was probably subconsciously picked up by Steven Wilson, still it's pretty amazing where he took it.

[BeefSatan]

the fuckin' best..

[KapustaCuber]

Haha, another another brick in the wall.

[crystina99]

@KapustaCuber LOL

[mailedbypostman]

@Paneeks1960 no

[usmcsdi69]

Love this song. As a matter of fact.... Porcupine Tree can do NO WRONG!

[theianpowell]

all in in all it was just a voyage in the wall !

really seems like another brick in the wall part 1 don't you think so ?

[rogueelite]

This sounds like Run Like Hell from Pink Floyd but with slower picking.

[spawnofhell2579]

MMMMM.....Flashbulbs!

[FretMuppet]

Damn, now I'm hungry for some plastic flashbulbs

[zeroburnradio]

tribute to pink floyd or just coincidence? hahahaha yeah porcupine tree!

[ilteatrodelsogno1986]

This album is fantastic, a pyschedelic trip ! Steven Wilson is a genius !

[lacrahuntington]

This song has all the riff from Pink Floyd's "Happiest days of our lives" and even the laugh, not that it's something wrong with that, on the contrary, Porcupine Tree must admire and respect Pink Floyd very much. Like the rest of us and the music world.

[NickersonGeneral]

@lacrahuntington Huh, that makes two riffs taken from The Wall. Wonder what that's all about?

[lexrussian2]

@lacrahuntington actually in some interview (found it on wikipedia) Porcupine Tree said they regret sounding like Pink floyd in their earlier albums and wish they hadn't done it. Not out of disrespect, they love PF, but because they wish they wouldn't be labeled as being the new Pink Floyd. Just sayin' I agree with you though. I love both, i just learned that today and decided to share :P

[SolidBrianH]

@lexrussian2 Why would they regret it? This is AMAZING!

[SETHWANTSAHUG]

My brother dropped acid in the middle of BFE Oregon... At night in the forest... He got lost in the forest and said the only way he got through the night is that he laid down on the forest floor, popped in his iPod and put this on... He fell asleep like a baby and woke up six hours later four miles from camp... Porcupine Tree saved my brothers life...

[Eliasoz]

@SETHWANTSAHUG Your brother's an idiot. lol

[TheMrshollis4ever]

I listened to this before going out to a Cemetary in the middle of the country.. I was SOBER and still got the Shit scared outta me

[aryman79]

the song contains stolen female vocals from ,,As the bell rings'' of Dead Can Dance. Plus the guitar sounds like stolen from David gilmour. bad.

[jero541gr]

@aryman79 the Album man was refered as a tribute to Pink floyd and LSD..it is not stolen..Learn first then speak..

[Innercitybuddha]

Had it up there... Got removed... Good luck, great track !!

[000MidnightSun]

acid is the perfect drug. and i wish nin would play "the perfect drug" in concert so i could fucking hear it live!

[tommyhopdrummerboy]

sugar cubes fuck the shit up..... its all about dat liq.... or paper if you dont know homeboy.... and not too many ppl do.... i guess im just a lucky fucker.

[Rhye26]

Natural Drug

[jmrocker]

The way I've always interpreted it is that Pink Floyd is often associated with drug use, and I'm guessing a relatively large number of PF fans have gotten high while listening to them. So it only makes sense to use a riff reminiscent of one PF's most popular songs in a song dealing with drugs. I don't see why anyone cares, classical composers openly borrowed from each other's compositions all the time.

[EternalTeaPot]

i can hear another brick in the wall in this, and a plague of lighthouse keepers by vaan der graff generator. But still, this is fucking awesome

[Rumpeansikt]

I first heard this a couple of days ago, and I have to say this is the best song I have ever heard. And I have heard quite a lot.

[QuoTime]

One of my favourite tracks from one of my favourite bands.

[PACKMAN8363]

I also hear Enigma and Rush in this music.

[MWW1987]

This is one fantastic Voyage that deserves far more recognition and attention than just 12K+ views (listens). Very emotional, I feel it.

[pavlez0r]

@MWW1987 Sad, isn't it?

[Holohoutes]

One of the many reasons one should be admiring PF is for inspiring such magnificent bands as Porcupine Tree! BTW they were absolutely fantastic last night in Athens!

[swinki33]

Genialne Drzewiaste Jeżozwierze.... mega-turbo-zaje....sta płyta... (dzięki, Cichy...)

This is the kind of music that is evergreen, brilliant and so much amazing, like no other. Greetings from Poland for PT and PT's fans.

Masterpiece!!!

[errvinny]

"He sobs, as his joy turns to fear...¨ and the journey begins...just perfect!

[anyal1987]

@errvinny

Entirely too perfect. I know exactly what that feels like, lol.

[G8tr1522]

4:34 "Brian has been amusing his friends by, chewing on some plastic flashbulbs" Lol

[shaunb1973]

i remember takin acid listenin to this blew my fuckin mind. now i only do the weed

[SolidBrianH]

I love how my name is in this song :]

[Capuano231]

I think it's pretty cool that they are sounding like Pink Floyd. We need another band like PF!

Porcupine Tree rocks

[Eliasoz]

@Capuano231 Actually PT started out as a Pink Floyd tribute project before transforming into its own thing.

[exumis]

@Eliasoz Actually... PT started out as a joke, an experiment pastiching psychedelic music and the like, before transforming into its own thing. and this particular riff is not stolen from PF (although the resemblance is apparent), but inspired by Ashra Tempel's/Manuel Göttsching's 'Inventions for Electric Guitar'.

[slideon]

@Capuano231 i agree, Pink Floyd is my favourite band. Porcupine Tree is good (not as good as Pink Floyd). However, this "phase" of voyage 34 has a repetitive riff stolen (almost exactly the same) as Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in The Wall (Part 1)". Listen to it and you'll hear the similarity. 

[Blink182plus44equ226]

@slideon Anyone who didn't notice that is an idiot? So not sure what you're pointing out.

[slideon]

@Blink182plus44equ226 never said whoever didnt see that is an idiot listen to another brick in the wall part 1. The riff used in this song is almost (if not exactly) the same Pink Floyd riff.

[Blink182plus44equ226]

@slideon Was light sarcasm conveyed through feigning being inquisitive.

[slideon]

@Blink182plus44equ226 i see

[yocotte]

@Capuano231 try a band called RPWL

[yocotte]

@Capuano231 try a band called RPWL, although i think porcupine is better

[shabutie]

i hear a pink floyd rip off, i could be wrong

[luthierjustin1]

@shabutie

and you are, get an ear

[Eliasoz]

@shabutie More of a modern day Pink Floyd. That's what PT started out as, before transforming into its own thing.

[thecrimsonfloyd]

When does it sound like Plague of the Lighthouse Keepers? I don't really hear a similarity.

[TheLore]

And sometimes it sounds like A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers by Van der Graaf Generator ;)

[PeterTRFC]

@TheLore I know which bit you mean.. I think it is sampled from Plague of Lighthouse Keepers (the section "Pictures") yep.. Jackson on massive echo machine. Cheers The Lore, it was driving me up the wall working out what it was from..

[scallyhunter]

@PeterTRFC TRFC: tranmere rovers football club?

[PeterTRFC]

@scallyhunter Errr yep.. the very club.. Les Parrys Super White Army etc

[PeterTRFC]

@scallyhunter Yup.. afraid so lol

[Mentoospl]

2:00 sounds like Pink Floyd - The Happiest Days of Our Lives

[doctormozo]

Shame this stops right in the middle of the guitar solo, thats the best bit!

[w1090]

yep, first half sounds like another brick in the wall...though SW hates being compared to PF, i've heard =X

That aside, this is really interesting stuff.

[austinzeppelin]

That REALLY sounds like PF, lol :D I like this...

[Olsteradamus]

man I love that solo.

[Bevy0001]

an Onion a day keeps the Toffe Onion away

[S1W2E3D]

where the hell is phase 2!?

[SebVettel18]

1:58 sounds just like Another Brick in the Wall Part 1

[Nipkelodeon]

@SebVettel18

I Swear I've compared both at same time, and they're different. I love Another brick on t wall.. I love Voyage 34!

But influences are permited ;o)
