Metanoia should be seen as two parts with Mesmer being
atmospherical and Metanoia being the progressive element.
Porcupine Tree has an extensive and expansive catalogue. Their
albums range from novelty eight track recordings (..On the
Sunday of Life) to the Pink Floyd inspired (The Sky Moves
Sideways and Voyage 34) to progressive rock inspired (Signify)

say that Signify is their greatest achievement to date as it
encompasses their progressive element which they are renown for.
However, In Absentia/Deadwing brought new ears as they created
an almost metal album helped by Opeth frontman Mikael Akerfeldt.
It was during the Signify era where Porcupine Tree decided to
create an improvised piece called Metanoia.  Metanoia should
really be split into two parts. Part on
