As a big Japan fan, Richard's contribution cannot be overemphasised. His atmospheric soundscapes. are what makes PT so great. Couple that with kicking new songs and throwing the genius of Gavin into the mix (what musician wouldn't be inspired by playing with him?!), makes this a superb desert-Island album.

PT almost has to be defined by eras. The Wilson only psyche era, the band psyche era, the pop era, and then the prog metal era. I discovered them in the band psyche era and because of that Signify will always be my favorite. But In Absentia really, really did change everything. I think Blackest Eyes is the best off it. Funny story, I was in New Orleans on business on my last night there. I did the whole Bourbon Street thing and the jazz club thing and then on my walk back to the hotel, I stopped in a bar at about 3 am. They had an internet jukebox and I looked up PT and found Blackest Eyes. I was in my 50s at the time and there were a few younger people in there. Anyway Blackest eyes started and I get these looks from the kids and one of them walks up and says something to the effect of "I didn't expect a song like that from an old guy", and fist bumped me.

I had never heard of Porcupine Tree until in 2019 or 2020 when I was watching a KZitem video about home audio. The KZitemr was testing a set of speakers and In Absentia was one of the records he used. I downloaded it and was blown away, so I downloaded more and was blown away. I thought Porcupine Tree was some new band, I bought all the records I could find. None of the radio stations in my area played any of their music. If it wasn’t for getting back into home audio and watching videos I never would have heard of the band.

I actually once got into a terrible car crash. I was driving alone at night in a heavy snowfall, got caught in a skid and ran into a crash barrier. The car was heavily damaged and I was shocked but safe, thanks God. The interesting thing, I was listening to In Absentia when this happened. I remember sitting in the smashed car waiting for the tow truck, smoking and drinking water, trying to calm down, watching the snowstorm around me and listening to ".3". Every time I listen to In Absentia, it reminds me of that night, even though 7 years have passed.

Porcupine Tree's music set a new standard for me in music about 18 years ago, when I was first listen to them. There are so many gems on this album, it's unbelievable. But there are other albums like "Deadwing","Fear of a blank planet", "The Incident", or "Stupid Dreams" to name a few, Steve Wilson is a true musical genius that the whole word should know about. You have to check out his solo albums too ! Can't wait to hear his next creation !...

It might take you a few listens, but definitely listen to the album, not just a single track.

I remember the first time I heard Porcupine Tree. It was my first day as a sound guy with a successful band. Tour rehearsal. The drummer took me to his truck and played Blackest Eyes. "That's what my drums are going to sound like." Be careful what you ask for kids! In the time since I've seen Gavin live 3 times. Every time he finishes a solo he looks like he needs immediate medical attention. That's how much he puts in. And it sounds like it, every time. Extraordinary mastery.

To me it was a nice way to say “it’s his song and that’s the way he wants to bass part…”. Maybe some of the material wasn’t open for interpretation.

I remember seeing Porcupine Tree in San Francisco at the Filmore in 2003 when they toured with Opeth. I knew very little about them but I was already a big fan of Opeth. I remember being a bit disappointed that Porcupine Tree was the headlining band and figured it must have been a record company decision for promotion purposes because most of the room was occupied by Opeth fans. I remember Michael from Opeth came out into the audience during Porcupine Tree's session. I almost wanted to go up to him and tell him something was backwards but I was to shy to approach him. After that I did really like In Absentia album but it had to grow on me.

In Absentia was my first PT experience about 10 years ago. It quickly became one of my favorite records of all time....and it still is. I just saw them live for the first time in Philadelphia in 2022. Excellent show! A few things imbrued the night as whole. The show was about sold out. The venue (The MET) waited too long to open the doors for entry. The line was, literally, wrapped around 3/4 of a major city sized block. We were in the area early but since the restaurant (I like to eat before the show) couldn't manage to make a pizza in a timely manner that night, we were just getting in line closer to 'doors open' time. Needless to say, we were deep in the line and ultimately missed the first song, Blackest Eyes. I heard it from the lobby, though. Anyway, I was disappointed that they didn't play Gravity Eyelids. IMO, I don't think that song gets it due praise. It's the longest song on the record, the best song on the record, in my opinion, and still, even in this documentary about the album....they hardly spent any time talking about it. UGH. Otherwise, great documentary. Love Steven Wilson/PT..always!

Indeed. When I saw them in 2008 with my girlfriend and my dad we had an extra ticket. So we brought one of my dad's long time friends. Unfortunately he was a bit of an alcoholic so during the show his loud enthusiasm was definitely rubbing me the wrong way as a young 19 year old trying to have this religious sonic experience (and truly.. I didn't know it would be my last time seeing them!). BUT. Looking back through the lense of memory his antics make me smile. He was genuinely ecstatic. He kept grabbing me and screaming "what is this!! What are we experiencing!?!? Is this Pink Floyd?!?!!!! Is this Led Zeppelin!!!!???". PT was bringing him back 30 years to his glory days when he got to experience some of the greatest rock and roll tours ever. Those shows were clearly a huge part of his identity and he was very thankful that I had turned him onto that experience. I'm happy he came. Even if it's taken me some time to see it that way... It was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Your so right that the art work, especially as it was presented on the video screen with lights and live performances was equally important to the whole experience. I cherish my CD, dvd, and bluray collection for the music and art as well. Cheers!

When I think of the album, I see a bright summer day in my adolescence, where all worries weren’t even on the horizon, because I was flooded by the positivity and overwhelming beauty of these songs.

In Absentia to Porcupine Tree is what Dark Side of the Moon is to Pink Floyd. A breakthrough classic record that has stood the test of time.
