Synesthesia is said to be a potential consequence of taking psychedelics which results in a variety of sensory reactions in those who experience it. Rather than bore you with a definition of what this condition means, mostly because I have no idea what it is, I will say this: Up The Downstair is the musical equivalent of a psychedelic drug. It's addictive and certainly stimulates the senses, or the aural sense at least. As a whole this album is arguably Porcupine Tree at their most psychedelic, and their first successful attempt in creating a tangible and structured piece of music. Read more ›› |

The 2004 Version sounds absolutely excellent esp. with Gavin on drums. I would rate 2004 version 9/10

The expanded 2CD edition with Gavin is the only version I've listened to. And it's one of my favourite PT albums.
