Music for the Head | Steven Wilson's work-in-progress mix of Porcupine Tree's "Stupid Dream" @musicforthehead | Uploaded September 2017 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Can be found on various Stupid Dream-era bootlegs. This was somehow leaked when the band were working on the album in late 1998. It also features a unique, alternate tracklist of the album with older lyrics that can be found on SW's original demos (ie. Slave Called Shiver). Very interesting to hear alternate performances and additional vocals on certain songs, especially both parts of Even Less.
Tracklist:
Even Less I - 0:00
Stranger By The Minute - 6:47
Slave Called Shiver - 11:18
Don't Hate Me - 15:47
This Is No Rehearsal - 24:05
Baby Dream in Cellophane - 27:59
Even Less II - 31:08
Pure Narcotic - 39:00
Ambulance Chasing - 44:04
A Smart Kid - 51:04
Stop Swimming - 57:02
Porcupine Tree is:
Steven Wilson - vocals, guitars, piano
Richard Barbieri - keyboards, synthesizers
Colin Edwin - fretless bass
Chris Maitland - drums, percussion, backing vocals
