Richard Barbieri is really underrated I think. He may not be a very technical keyboard player like Jordan Rudess, but he is a master when it comes to creating soundscapes and filling up the empty spaces of the music with so much atmosphere.

Totally. I'm a big fan of both Rudess and Barbieri and the latter is so important to the mood, the atmosphere, the ethereal spaces. I've heard tones and textures from Barbieri that I've ever nowhere else and they contribute hugely to those deep, lost-in-headphones moments late at night.

Yeah, as a metalhead back in the day I never understood this, as a grown-up musician now, I see its real meaning, I even saw the importance of it when I downloaded soundscapes sounds made by Barbieri himself, it's absolute genius work...

You just had have a heavy session of electroshock theraphy and you are more relaxed that you have been in weeks. All those childhood traumas magically wiped away along with your personality.

The only prog band that doesnt insult the 60's&70's.Take it from me....I was there.

Man there is a lot of headspace in this song for you to wander in. They pull you in, and let you drift, then pull you back, and set you adrift, over and over. It amazes me how they create such a feeling of depth and space, yet closeness. This song is like trying to touch the stars.

Note a single note wasted, everything in its right place.

We, the survivors, are hiding in caves waiting for the planet to recover. That's all we can do. Wait... On other news, Steven Wilson, who were cryogenically preserved and had to be brought to life after the event, joined Justin Bieber and both are now happily releasing prog-pop-ish songs and making loads of dough. Literally. Money no longer exists.

Breathtaking song structure, a perfect build.

This song will always be special. I didn’t know who PT was yet until I first heard this gem back in the mid summer of 2001. From that point on, this uniquely talented band would become my personal favorite progressive group since the early 90s. Steven Wilson is a genius.

One of the best songs ever. Truly a musical voyage through infinity and back.

This is one of my favorite performances of all time

This is a song I keep coming back to, and when I definitely fell in love with John Wesley's playing. And then Steve Wilson's incredible and just perfect guitar solo. This song is genius. My top rock guitar solo is the album version Pink Floyd's Comfortabily Numb. Always though nothing could even get close to it, but there it is.

There's a special place in hell reserved for the guy who put an ad in the climix of the guitar solo

This is a sublime piece of music....

My most favorite guitar solo of Steven’s. 🖤🎤🎸

This was the first song I ever heard by Porcupine Tree. It blew me out of the water. I never looked back. Brilliant.

It's like the God of drums is speaking through Gavin's left hand. Awe inspiring.

Love the textures Barbieri adds on every song, particularly on this one.

Dreamy, Perfect, Masterpiece!

My first ever psychedelic rock song. Discovered them years ago. I wasn't even a psychedelic fan back then, but this particular song just gave me chills, it just hits me right in the feels man. I didn't care to explore their other songs, because again, I wasn't a psychedelic fan, I was more into heavier stuff, and I stumbled upon this song by accident. About a year ago I discovered Pink Floyd and became a huge fan of them until now. But suddenly I realized that THIS is actually my first ever psychedelic song, and going back to this video, I still feel the same thing as I did when I heard it for the first time. I'm definitely gonna try listening to more Porcupine Tree songs from now on
