PORCUPINE TREE's eighth studio album, 'Deadwing', was released in March 2005 by Lava Records / Warner Music. Less rock-oriented than the previous album 'In Absentia', 'Deadwing' is partially based on a 'surreal ghost story' screenplay written by Steven and sometime PORCUPINE TREE / NO-MAN art collaborator Mike Bennion.

Metanoia is a compilationalbum by Britishprogressive rock band Porcupine Tree, first released on 10' double-vinyl in December, 1998, in a limited run of 1000 copies. It is mostly made up of improvisations recorded during the Signify sessions, some of which were later shaped into songs. To help deter secondary- and black-market sales, the album was released on CD in December 2001 and re-issued again in 2006; it includes extra, previously released tracks from singles that were sequenced where they were extracted from the longform jams. 'Mesmer I' became the basis for tour-only piece 'Cryogenics,' originally intended for Coma Divine but left out during mixing.
In a critical review on expose.org, the album has been described as 'in every way the antithesis of Stupid Dream, and simultaneously every bit as brilliant'. A special recognition is given to Chris Maitland and Colin Edwin who show 'a masterful display of finesse and energy'. The album review is finalized with the highest recommendation to listeners.
The original version of the CD has since been out-of-print. Copies of the original are considered to be quite rare and often go for a high price on online auctioning websites.[2]
Inner and outer cover shows paintings made by Frans Janssen. Design was done by Carl Glover. All tracks were composed by Porcupine Tree.[3]

Info:Porcupine Tree are a progressive rock band formed by Steven Wilson in 1987 in Hemel Hempstead, UK. Their music is difficult to categorize, being associated with both psychedelic rock and progressive rock, yet having been influenced by trance, krautrock and ambient due to Steven Wilson and Richard Barbieri's penchant for the Kosmische Musik scene of the early 1970s, led by bands such as Tangerine Dream, Neu! and Can.[5] Since the early 2000s, their music has been leaning towards progressive metal.
The band are noted for their multimedia approach, with their live performances including screens displaying a different film projection to each song. This visual element was introduced during the tour for the In Absentia album, when the band started to work with Danish photographer and filmmaker Lasse Hoile. This involvement created a distinctive image for the band.
Porcupine Tree live at Arena, PoznaA , Poland (28 November 2007).
