"Signify" 1996
"Signify" album is Porcupine tree's one of the most popular works.highly rated by critics and fans it remains one of their most interesting works (although still their best albums are "Stupid dream" and "In absentia" in my opinion).
Steven Wilson abandoned the Long art-rock teritory after bombastic "Sky moves sideway" which was the good album but many people started to compared his band to modern era Pink Floyd.
that's why Steven formed a real band and recorded something that cannot be really putted on one shelf. "Signify" represents the real Porcupine tree style.

Heavy instrumental title track is featuring more straight-forward rhythm section and guitars.it signals the riff experiments on later works.it also signals bigger simplicity.
"Signify" contains a few great songs beside instrumental track.
the famous song from here is "Waiting" (part 1) - their popular single hit with etheral vocals and atractive melody."Sleep of no dreaming" and "Sever" are containing very dark sound but they are catchy too.my favourite is "Every home is wired" - psychedelic beatles meet David gilmour here - great acoustic riff and wierd drum outro..."Dark matter" is a good song too,many fans claim that it is one of their best songs ever.

"Signify" is a very good Porcupine tree album and it holds many strong points.although a bit flat production and some pretentious moments on instrumental tracks are making it a bit weakere to be a 5 stars work it still remains huge piece of amazing music.Steven Wilson can't be wrong - this is art!

Delightfully narcotic.
Porcupine Tree is not an easy band to pigeonhole. They are often casually tagged with the "progressive rock" label, but Steven Wilson & Co. evade that label by embracing experimental forms of music that may or may not hit standard traits of prog rock. Signify captures the band's narcotic quality perfectly, although the edgy guitar rock of the title track does, well, rock! Often concerned with spacious sonic texture, Signify's many instrumental tracks are minimalistic, heavy on atmosphere. "Idiot Prayer" injects dance-beats into aggressive keyboard work. "Light Mass Prayer" is gripping despite its invariability, with simple synth chords sliding through the mix with a hypnotic effect. "Intermediate Jesus" sports some samples from some loony evangelist while the drifting arrangements at once invite curiosity and admiration for the composition's ingenuity. Steven Wilson's beautiful vocal harmonies on "Sever" and "Waiting Phase One" send shivers through me, while the more robust and dense arrangements under the choruses for "Every Home is Wired" and "Sleep with No Dreaming" make for welcome diversity. Closing the album is Wilson's condemnation of the media, "Darkmatter," punctuated by an entrancing guitar solo that's both beautiful and insistent. If you're looking for something different, try Signify.

a band that's evolving
This album, along with Stupid Dream, was among the first works I heard of Porcupine Tree. This was also the first time in which Steven Wilson worked with a full band for an entire album.

Experimental, eerie, psychedelic, it's like they took all of the progressive rock influences, put them in a blender, added a little ambient sounds and electronica, and let it rip. This album represents a mix of what Steven Wilson had been doing as basically a one-man band, and what they will eventually become.

Sleep of No Dreaming, and Sever are some of the darker, harder tracks, and gives you a harbinger of things to come with the direction Porcupine Tree would eventually take. This album is also full of atmospheric, ambient instrumental tracks like Idiot Prayer, Intermediate Jesus, and Light Mass Prayers. Darkmatter, the final track, is one of my all-time favorite Porcupine Tree songs. Signify is definitely an album worth listening to.
