Nil Recurring

Porcupine Tree

A sharp, twenty-nine minute expansion of the Fear of a Blank Planet sessions. Clinical precision meets heavy riffs and cold, urban isolation.

Find on Amazon

It's the darker, sharper little brother to Fear of a Blank Planet with some of their best riffs.

A cold, high-definition exploration of modern isolation and mechanical intensity.

Brooding+1.0σ

Brooding saturates this record a touch more than the artist's norm.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the title track builds from a hypnotic, circular acoustic riff into a crushing, polyrhythmic metal onslaught.
Robert Fripp's unmistakable, jagged guitar textures weaving through the dense layers of Cheating the Polygraph.
The sudden, crystalline piano melody that cuts through the atmospheric haze during the middle section of What Happens Now?
