OFF: Porcupine Tree

[Christian000Mumford]

I always thought this band to be _extremely_ overrated in every respect
(especially as regards 'originality' and 'psychedelic value'), though I
have not heard their early tape releases etc. They'll be forgotten soon
enough :-)

I just sold my copy of Signify for $12 the other day, I'll spend that money
on caffeine tablets 'cos I gave Signify one last spin and still have a hard
time staying awake three days later. Watered down Waters if ye ask me.
Well, its past my bedtime now, so....
