As we hurtle toward the technological utopia of tomorrow, the trend of digital, computer-inspired music offers predictions as to what our intergalactic house parties of the future will sound like--but then so did progressive rock in 1978. Step into Porcupine Tree's time machine and travel back to analogue synthesizers mixed with Hammond organ, guitar solos that "texturize," and a good old-fashioned weighty bass guitar. Songwriter, guitarist, pianist, vocalist, producer, and string arranger Steven Wilson is Porcupine Tree, and this is his sixth LP. There are a very limited number of people who can wear this many hats and maintain consistency and quality throughout--Wilson is not one of them. However, he has made a listenable disc that will nestle quite nicely between your Yes, Marillion, and Moody Blues albums. Who knows--it may even be the CD your new neighbors from Alpha Centauri borrow and never return. --David J. Browne
