I agree Sorren. Challenging album cover art mind,! I find it slightly disturbing…

Not keen on their late pop/electronic stuff but this 1973 debut album was all good rock and now a classic imo.

Robert received lot's of negative vibes playing soundscapes when he supported Porcupine Tree during the 'Deadwing' tour. I wonder if the young'uns would change their minds now?

Atlantic vinyl. A really great album cover with top quality personnel which was why I bought it back in 1970. It's a shame Sutch's songs and vocals are so bad. Some tracks sound very punk-like 6 years before Punk arrived.
