Further Proof that PT is the Best Band in the World,
By
This review is from: Warszawa (Audio CD)
I saw these guys last year in Montreal on the Damnation in Absentia tour with Opeth, so I already knew they were an amazing live act, but I was still shocked by Warszawa. I don't usually go in for live albums, as I prefer the studio stuff, but if it's got PT's name on it, I will pick it up. The best thing about this CD is that it's mostly made up of songs off of the Lightbulb Sun and Stupid Dream albums, which are currently out of print, so it's a great chance for those who don't own those albums to hear some of the songs. The live version of Shesmovedon is astounding, and it was awesome to hear the crowd clapping along at the beginning of Voyage 34. The production is beautiful, and I would expect no less from Steven Wilson. Every note is crystal clear, there's enough crowd noise to let you know that they're playing live without drowning out the music, and everyone in the band is in top form. If you've never heard Porcupine Tree before, I think this is as good a place as any to start. You get a good range of their sound (from accessible songs like the 5 minute Shesmovedon to epic ambient explorations like the 12 minute Russia on Ice, and even the extended jam session that is Voyage 34). The fact that the songs showcased are not readily available (pending reissues on Lava/Atlantic) only adds to this album's value. Also, according to their website, this album is a limited edition, so I suggest getting it while you can. 1. Even Less (7:36) 5/5 * * My Favorites. PS. All the 5/5s probably seem excessive only to those who have not heard this album.

Even Better Live,
By
This review is from: Warszawa (Audio CD)
I thought that PT would find it difficult to reproduce the progressive feel of their studio albums in a live context...boy was I wrong !! Even though the concert was designed to be recorded, the guys do a magnificent job of giving their sound an additional live energy that leads me to conclude it their finest work. If you only get one album this year this is it ! Quite a few tracks from their Lightbulb Sun album with a good mixture from everywhere else.If the hairs on your neck don't stand up at the spacey keyboard riffs of Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth, or the brilliant guitar on Voyage 34, then you don't have a soul for progressive rock.

I'm Already a PT Fan, So . . .,
By Upright Grand Master J (Edmonton, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Warszawa (Audio CD)
Progressive rock bands at this level are difficult to review sometimes; you're a fan, or you're not. With groups like Porcupine Tree that have been together for a decent period ot time, you do start to pine for a chance to hear them live, and if you live outside Europe like I do, there's not much opportunity to do so.Warszawa is the first live album that I have heard from P.T.; a 2001 studio recording in front a live 'studio' audience for Polish radio broadcast. The recording sounds great, and has a small club feel. It was performed during their 2001 Europeon tour, so I have to imagine that this is what they sounded like in any number of the great cities that they played in. The song selection happens to cover many of my favorites, with performances off of 'Lightbulb Sun', 'Stupid Dream', 'Signify', and includes one of the songs that defined their early work, 'Voyage 34'. If you are already a Porcupine Tree fan, no worries here, you'll be thrilled; if you are new to this group, what a great introduction!
