Album Notes & Community Reviews

Gathering a series of limited-edition two-track CD singles released over seven years, this compilation finds the Porcupine Tree frontman completely reinterpreting popular songs. He transforms tracks by ABBA, The Cure, and Prince into stark, deeply melancholic acoustic dirges, paired with equally somber original compositions on the b-sides. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the stripped-down, emotionally devastating core of his progressive songwriting.
