Porcupine Tree-Up The Downstair

Their second album from 1993. Yesterdays record, Voyage 34 was meant to ba a part of it but was released as two long singles instead. The music on this two record gatefold album sounds the same. A mix of Pink Floyd and The Orb ,there’s a lot to digest on the first listen. With a bit of narration and some spoken word this mostly instrumental record flows from one track to the next. Not sure why it was put on two records for this 2020 re-issue,side three is just over 7 minutes long. Side four with “Burning Sky” and “Fadeaway” was what sounded best to me. The album was re-mixed by Steven Wilson for this release.
