Another step forward in the evolution of Porcupine Tree from he year? Yes!
Trip-Hop - from Bristol/England into the World. Album of the Year 1994.

Goldener Strom
by Rosa Anschütz
In 2022, the Berlin artist released an astonishing work, "Goldener Strom," a cool mix of techno and dark wave.
In my opinion the most atmospheric dark rock album of 2007.
Oxygene 3
by Jean Michel Jarre
Nineteen years after "Oxygene 7-13," the third installment, "Oxygene 3," was released in 2016. And it's a good one.
Oxygene 7-13
by Jean Michel Jarre
21 years after "Oxygene," the second Album, "Oxygene 7-13," was released in 1997. Was the wait worth it?

In 2021, Seasick Steve released his tribute to the pioneers of the blues. And in mono. Authentic and good.
Playing The Fool Live
by Gentle Giant
In 1977, Gentle Giant The Fool played live. They were undoubtedly a great band. And I just can't get into them.
In 1976, the Frenchman made instrumental electronic music suitable for radio and the mainstream. Jarre impressively demonstrates here that the mainstream can also cut a good figure.
In 2005, Phideaux released a “leftovers recycling” that packs a punch!

Steven Wilson 2011. Lots of Porcupine Tree, King Crimson and Blackfield in an interesting mix of prog, pop and jazz elements.
Velvet Darkness They Fear
by Theatre Of Tragedy
Theatre of Tragedy released "civilized" goth metal/rock, doom in 1996. Even non-goths should check it out. Vinyl, remastered in 2024.
Goth metal, dark rock, and then synth? Hardly any other ToT album has been more controversial. Some turned away, while new listeners came along.
