Porcupine Tree started out as a fake band, the only real member being multi-instrumentalist Steven Wilson. Wilson’s first two efforts, Tarquin’s Seaweed Farm (1989) and The Nostalgia Factory (1990), were both released on cassette tapes. In addition to the band’s trademark psychedelic sound, these two tapes also contained heavy ambient and pop influences. Wilson’s favorite tracks were then compiled into the CD On the Sunday of Life… (1991), while the more ambient-leaning tracks were also collected in Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape (1994). The first of these two featured many new versions of songs.
Wilson then went on to release Voyage 34 (1992) and Up the Downstair (1993), which refined the sound of the previous albums and removed the pop influences. Both of these were later re-released: the first as Voyage 34: The Complete Trip (2000), which included an extra 2 remixes (a total of four), while Up the Downstair was remastered at 2005 with real drums added in place of the drum-machine beats.
