The polls are now closed and the public has decided for Wednesday! So, as the banner above indicates, we will be transmitting tomorrow, 18.03.2009 at 20:00 Central Europe Time. We have a special theme planned, a tribute to Porcupine Tree. This will open the show and go for about 2 - 2,5 hours and then we'll switch to a more radio-like playlist for the rest of the night.
This is the first one of a series of tributes we have in mind for the future. The next ones will be structured in a different way, will cover a whole scene, genre or a specific musical era and probably last the whole evening. We want to be, more then anything, educational! But these ideas will follow. This is an experiment, focusing on one (really great) band and we hope you'd like it.
And a little background information...
Porcupine Tree is the main musical vehicle of Steven Wilson, an iconic figure in the scene, through the years, mainly for the multiple projects he's constantly involved in as a songwriter, instrumentalist, producer.
Porcupine Tree focused at the beginning on their psychedelic side, going later through more Progressive Rock paths and finally in the last decade incorporating many metal elements in their albums. The influences are many, we will go over them tomorrow as we listen to different periods of the band.
The time we will spend on the show seems really little to cover the enormous discography of Porcupine Tree and this is why this was labeled Part 1. Part 2 may or may not follow. We'll see. Our aim generally is to intrigue you to listen to new sounds and reveal to you the stuff that seems to make OUR lives INTERESTING, BEAUTIFUL, MISERABLE, LIGHTER AND DARKER every day... Trust us, we know...
E.D, T.K.

Endtroducing
Do you remember that time, when you obsessively waited for the new album of your favourite band to come out, went to the record store 10 times in advance, reserving one limited edition copy, waiting, asking when it will finally arrive. Long before amazon would tell you when you will hold it in your hands and what it will look like, it was back in the day when the first time you actually laid eyes on your new baby was still important and you would unpack it in the bus back home and look at it from all different possible angles, savoring in every little detail the artwork could provide that you -only you- could have noticed so soon after it came out. The record would be glued to you even before you ever even heard it for the first time.As if that joy wasn't enough, you actually got to hear a whole new album from your stereo while reading the lyrics lying down doing nothing except paying attention.For the next days that record was part of your life and eventually it would become part of your soul, and the whole process would be burned into your memory like a love affair long faded but still vivid and red hot in the back of your head.It was this record that each time you gave it a spin again, after years, filled you with that warmth and never failed to summon a bitter smile on your face.
Do you remember that record?
You should, and for all the other records just come here.
