Porcupine Tree is an English progressive rock band that was founded in 1987 by Steven Wilson. Originally starting as a solo project, the band evolved into a full lineup in 1993 with the addition of Colin Edwin, Chris Maitland, and Richard Barbieri. After going on hiatus in 2010, Porcupine Tree made their official return in November 2021 as a three-piece lineup consisting of Wilson, Barbieri, and Gavin Harrison. They released their new single "Harridan" and are set to release their eleventh studio album Closure / Continuation in June 2022.

The current lineup includes Steven Wilson on vocals, guitar, bass, and keyboards; Richard Barbieri on keyboards and synthesizers; and Gavin Harrison on drums and percussion. Former members include Chris Maitland on drums and Colin Edwin on bass. The touring members for the band currently include Randy McStine on guitar and backing vocals, Nathan Navarro on bass, and John Wesley on guitar and backing vocals during their earlier years.

With a rich history spanning over three decades, Porcupine Tree has established themselves as influential figures within the progressive rock genre. Their unique sound combines elements of rock with intricate melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. Fans can look forward to experiencing their highly anticipated new album after a long-awaited return from hiatus.

‘Voyage 34’, an instrumental composition from 1992/93, is a journey split into 4 phases that rocks for over an hour, this was P.T.'s entry into the ambient trance genre popularised by artists such as the Orb. Combining trance rhythms alongside more typical Porcupine Tree textures &amp; guitar solos, ‘Voyage 34’ was a big hit in the ambient/chill out club scene of the early 1990’s (when it was originally issued across two 12-inch singles).

Following the now sold-out first box set of Porcupine Tree's ‘Delerium Years’, &amp; the near sold-out second box set, Kscope are re-releasing the band's records from the era, including ‘Voyage 34’, as a series of LP’s presented in gatefold packaging.

Featuring the tracks remastered by Steven Wilson in 2016 with more naturalistic dynamics &amp; EQ - remasters previously only available in ‘The Delerium Years 1991 – 1993’ box set.

The artwork was completely redesigned for the original re-release &amp; contains new images from long-term collaborator of Porcupine Tree frontman &amp; founding member Steven Wilson, Lasse Hoile.

In Wilson’s own words, “The whole point about Voyage 34 was an exercise in genre. In that sense it stands apart from the rest of the catalogue...back in the early Nineties, there was an explosion in ambient music, a fusion of electronic music &amp; techno music with the philosophy of people like Brian Eno &amp; Tangerine Dream. “

Porcupine Tree have now announced details of a new album in 2022, offering a perfect excuse to dig into the bands rich back catalogue.
