Free Music Notes for Coma Divine Album
Free Music Review: A Strong and Memorable Performance
Hit: 5 Stars
Like many others, I am not always keen on "live" albums. They are often poorly recorded, drawn out, and seemingly released merely to add to the record company's bottom line. While two of those points may be partially true with Coma Divine, no fan can complain about the quality of the recording.
Though its hard to add anything to reviewer R Gorham's comments, I will at least get in his amen corner. Like Gorham, I own the Snapper music remaster of this CD and like him I think the recording is superior. Though some of the songs are a little drawn-out (something you want if you are actually at the concert), Coma Divine should thrill long-time fans of Porcupine Tree. Those new to the band can hear their roots in hard rock/psychedelia right here.
PT is often compared to Pink Floyd. That's fair enough but that doesn't mean its a clone. It is however the brainchild of multi-talented musical polymath Steven Wilson. On Coma Divine, those talents become apparent to any music-lover who listens and just one hearing should squelch any doubts you may have about the depth of those talents.
My favorites here are Waiting Phase One and Phase Two, The Sky Moves Sideways, and Radioactive Toy, the song that could be an anthem for both the current Iranian "president" and the current dictator of North Korea.
In short, Coma Divine is a strong and memorable performance and a worthwhile vehicle for showcasing a future supergroup while it was yet in its adolescence. My advice is to get this now while it is still available. If your musical tastes lie outside the confines of what you are fed on the radio, then Porcupine Tree may be the band for you.
