Every Home Is Wired

Porcupine Tree - Signify [KSCOPE 948 UK 2017 24-Bit FLAC]

Originally released as a vinyl album in 1996 on Delerium Records.

Signify was the third album by Porcupine Tree and one of my favourites. It will be the first of three I have ripped for these pages. In a pleasing move away from the floyd-heavy elements of their previous albums, Signify takes you on a journey to dark places from the depths of Steven Wilson's imagination, tinged with experimental (especially kraut)rock and wrapped up in Richard Barbieri's sonic soundscapes and textures. 

Carl Glover's unique sleeve is the first hint that this is no ordinary record. From the blistering rock of the title track (just play loud), to the tabla-pop of Waiting through to the darkest corners of Sever, the melodic & harmonic Every Home Is Wired and the classic prog rock of Dark Matter, this album is a good introduction to many who may be sceptical about a band who suffered commercially from the progressive tag, hence limiting their reach outside aging but dedicated followers.
