A space transmission indeed.  Not for the feint of heart, or the
core progger, Porcupine Tree's [PT] ''Debut'' is definately a
strange one. I say ''Debut'', because this is really a
compilation of material from PT's previous eps that are now only
something of legend. It's also good to note that at this point
the band was nothing more than Mr. Wilson doing some
experimenting on the side of his other bands , thus, he's really
the only one on the album, with a few guests of course. None the
less, while strange this is definately a good album that demands
listening to from people who want to now where this band
started.  The roots go deep, and only some of the material on
here is even remotely like what PT would later become. Quirky
songs like JUPITER ISLAND, THE NOSTALGIA FACTORY and LINTON
