Porcupine Tree - The Incident.
Discussion
The Incident is PT's latest album, released earlier this month.
It is a 2CD release, and i have to say, i'm quite enjoying it! The second CD is getting more play than the 1st though at the moment, first time i listened to CD1 i wasnt too thrilled, although it is growing on me.
Anyway.. Just a heads-up for any other Tree fans out there.

) in which he explained the story behind the album. As clever and cold as you would expect really! Steven Wilson said:
“There was a sign saying ‘POLICE – INCIDENT’ and everyone was slowing down to rubberneck to see what had happened... Afterwards, it struck me that ‘incident’ is a very detached word for something so destructive and traumatic for the people involved. And then I had the sensation that the spirit of someone that had died in the accident entered into my car and was sitting next to me. “The irony of such a cold expression for such seismic events appealed to me, and I began to pick out other ‘incidents’ reported in the media and news,” continues Wilson. “I wrote about the evacuation of teenage girls from a religious cult in Texas, a family terrorizing its neighbors, a body found floating in a river by some people on a fishing trip, and more. Each song is written in the first person and tries to humanize the detached media reportage.”
A rather vicarious album then.. Edited by The Riddler on Thursday 1st October 06:27
