Performer: Porcupine Tree
Artist: Robert Fripp Producer: Porcupine Tree Distributor: E1 Distribution (USA) Notes: Porcupine Tree: Steven Wilson (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Gavin Harrison (guitar, drums, percussion); Richard Barbieri (keyboards, synthesizer); Colin Edwin (electric bass). Additional personnel: Robert Fripp (guitar); Ben Coleman (violin). Long-running progressive rock act Porcupine Tree, fresh off of their critically-acclaimed FEAR OF A BLANK PLANET, continue their grand experiment on the hallucinogenic and at times fearsomely heavy NIL RECURRING. A 29-minute, four-track mini-album, NIL RECURRING features the immediately recognizable talents of King Crimson legend Robert Fripp on the title track--a twisting, hypnotic perpetual motion machine with sinuous rhythms and stainless steel guitars that would do Helmet proud. Elsewhere, the Eastern-tinged second track, "Normal," mixes wonder and delicacy with more guitar heroics. NIL RECURRING is a prime display of prog's simultaneous elasticity and rigid discipline.
Formed in 1987, London's Porcupine Tree is one of the most highly regarded progressive rock acts in the genre. Blending influences of Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Deep Purple, Rush, and Black Sabbath, the band has released over 15 albums, EPs, and live recordings over its relatively short career. Part classic rock, part psychedelic, and part metal, Porcupine Tree also possesses a wide-ranging fan base. Though never garnering a "hit" single, the band was nominated for a Grammy in 2007.
