I picked this because I recently was listening to some Gavin Harrison instructional material on subdividing beats, and because their latest album,
, is fast becoming my favorite Porcupine Tree album.
It's Herbie Hancock and Tony
WIlliams with Ira Coleman supporting. I should not have to explain why
this is worth listening to and watching.
Mr. Mister
I Wear the Face
1984
Their sophomore album, Welcome to the Real World, was a certifiable pillar of mid-80s AOR, but the two official albums preceding and following it were both limited-interest affairs (oddly enough, I think their unreleased fourth album, Pull, is their best).
This is by far their most cringeworthy album, and the last one I would recommend to people wanting to either get into this band, or the period. If you are a Pat Mastellotto completist, it might be worth about 12 seconds of ear time, but thats it. If you heard this, you would have no idea how the guy would eventually end up playing with the Sugarcubes, King Crimson and KTU.

This time with the staggeringly obvious -- she steals songs. She is really starting to epitomize the kind of shameless marketing of "counterculture" as consumer-friendly drivel.
