Up the Downstair, Porcupine Trees next full album, found Wilson coming fully into his own, creating a majestic, sweeping album that took the prog inspirations of the past fully into a realm of mysterious hush and beauty as much as full-on rock charge. Those songs having been something of a nostalgia exercise, Wilson aimed for a more contemporary approach on his follow-up release - the extended single "Voyage 34," with a clear debt to ambient techno jokesters the Orb.

In a humorous twist of fate, two tapes of this material ended up in the hands of other folks interested in hearing more from Wilson, who ended up collating the best tracks for Porcupine Trees real debut album on Delerium Records, On the Sunday of Life, in 1992. Elaborate discographies and other material were created à la Spinal Tap, while Wilson himself created a slew of music meant to be the bands lost recordings. 1987 saw the founding of both No-Man and Porcupine Tree, the latter actually starting as a joke between Wilson and a friend about a legendary lost 70s group.

Having learned guitar and keyboards at a young age, he contributed to work by underground prog outfits of the early 80s such as Altamont and Karma, while continuing his own musical growth and exploration. Born in London in 1967, he was too young to participate in the first full flush of psychedelic and experimental rock music, but swiftly made up for lost time, turning out to be a talented musical prodigy. The group itself was just Wilson at the start. Embracing and exploring prog rock inspirations while always keeping an ear out for newer musical connections, thus sidestepping the pointless revivalism of many of the bands peers, Porcupine Tree has created some noteworthy albums and songs over the years, continuing full-strength into the new millennium.

Allmusic Biography : Though he initially came to wider attention (at least in the U.K.) with No-Man, his long-running collaboration with Tim Bowness throughout the 90s, singer/guitarist Steven Wilson gained as much of a reputation for Porcupine Tree.
