"In a time when great music is hard to find, I feel lucky at 50yo to have stumbled onto PT. Sort of a meld of YES and Pink Floyd but with a 21st century fresh breeze throughout. Complex and driving one moment then serene and peaceful the next. If you wish Pink Floyd had done more good music just go right ahead and buy this album, you will not be sorry. I never heard the original edition of this but this special edition is very special. Turn down the lights have a sip and climb up the Porcupine tree, the quills are sharp indeed but instead of pain they will awaken your brains inner need for great smooth complex magical music. The girl on the cover art is my aunt Hagatha, she was not harmed in any way during the making of this amazing album. Although she did have some mild ringing in her ears for about 15 hours. . . . OH ! The bonus disk you ask ? Unlike many artists who toss you the leftovers and refuse, PT gives you another entire CD of great music, making this wonderful album nearly twice as good. This is my 6th PT album and I will be looking for more soon. Enjoy ! Say Hi to Hagatha for me as well."
PT Rules!

"This is Porcupine Tree's first album as a full band. Steve Wilson is a musical genius who seems to know how to grab your ear and stick a song in your head,and have it stay hours after you stop listening to it. With a little something for anyone who appreciates the re- birth of prog music will enjoy this album. It is a classic in every sense of the word. "Dark Matter" is a melodic journey and perfect ending to a beautiful music experience."

"Let yourself wrapped arround this expectacular dark expirience, where hypnotic power rock riffs and a gothic - lounge ambience are perfectly and symphonicaly blent together. This, by all means, is one of my favorite PT album.
Can't add anything else to my review: Buy it !
Hope this review will help you.
