Porcupine Tree have lot of compilation albums/EP's/other releases with some very weird psychedelic trance like music. It's very opposed to their very professional studio sound.
This is by far my favourite old Porcupine Tree absurdity. A creepy-as-hell sci-fi monologue from Steve's debut, "On the Sunday of Life".
Oh man, Trans... the album most Niel Young fans would hope to forget...
I didn't think it was half as bad as most people say it is.
Even "We R In Control" ? I actually like Trans. It's more than half-missed, but I don't know, I find it interesting. And I also like "Computer Cowboy".
I always thought that he recorded 'Trans' & 'Everybody's Rockin'' to finish his contract with Geffen? 🤔
Interesting bit from wikipedia on those 2 albums:
"Trans, along with Young's next Geffen release Everybody's Rockin', formed the basis of a 1983 lawsuit filed against Young by Geffen on the grounds that he had produced deliberately uncommercial and unrepresentative work." _________________ "Bunch of opinionated, hipster twats!"
Not so much a 'hidden surprise' but more an 'unusual musical direction' is the band The Bronx releasing 3 albums of Hardcore/Punk then under their alter-egos Mariachi El Bronx not releasing 1, but 2 albums of mariachi music. What was even more surprising was how good it was!
