Porcupine Tree – Voyage 34

2 x Vinyl, LP, Compilation, Reissue, Remastered

Voyage 34, an instrumental composition from 1992/93, is a journey split into 4 phases that rocks for over an hour, this was Porcupine Tree’s entry into the ambient trance genre popularized by artists such as the Orb. Combining trance rhythms alongside more typical TP textures and guitar solos, Voyage 34 was a big hit in the ambient/chill out club scene of the early 1990’s (when it was originally issued across two 12-inch singles).

The artwork was completely redesigned for the original re-release & contains new images from long-term collaborator of Porcupine Tree frontman & founding member Steven Wilson, Lasse Hoile. In Wilson’s own words, “The whole point about Voyage 34 was an exercise in genre. In that sense it stands apart from the rest of the catalogue…back in the early Nineties, there was an explosion in ambient music, a fusion of electronic music & techno music with the philosophy of people like Brian Eno & Tangerine Dream.“
