 Porcupine Tree
 In Absentia
 Review by Steve Alspach

Steve Wilson's pet project (the group started as nothing more than just a fictional band several years ago) released their latest work, In Absentia, last year. The album is a thoughtful blend of melody, metal, and progressive. There is a slightly dark edge throughout the disc, though.
The performers on this CD are: Steve Wilson, guitars and vocals; Richard Barbieri, keyboards; Colin Edwin, bass; and Gavin Harrison, drums and percussion. Aviv Geffen, vocals; and John Wesley, additional guitar and vocals put in guest performances.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2003 Year Book Volume 1 at lulu.com/strangesound.
