Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize

A la hora de determinar la fecha de nacimiento de este grupo no hay ninguna duda: 1987
A la hora de ubicar su procedencia tampoco: Hemel Hempstead, Reino Unido
Pero a la hora de catalogar su música no lo tenemos tan fácil, aunque se la declare como una banda de rock progresivo, se dice que su música tiene influencias trance y ambient, y ultimamente evoluciona hace el metal progresivo.
Anesthetize (mayo, 2010) da título a un DVD grabado en vivo en octubre de 2008 en Holanda. Su lanzamiento y distribución, únicamente por vía internet, dedicó los fondos recaudados para el tratamiento contra el cáncer sufrido por Mick Karn (quién finalmente falleció en enero de este año).
Incluye un total de 19 temas, procedentes de 'Fear of a Blank Planet', 'Nil Recurring', 'Signify', 'In Absentia' y 'Deadwing'.
Los integrantes en la actualidad de la banda son:

• Steven Wilson : vocal, guitarras, piano, sintetizadores, banjo y otros instrumentos (1987- presente).

•  Richard Barbieri : teclado, sintetizadores, piano y procesador de sonido (1993-presente).

• Colin Edwin : bajo, contrabajo (1993-presente).

• Gavin Harrison : bajo y percusión (2002–presente).

• John Wesley :guitarra, acompañamiento vocal (2002–presente). Participa en las giras

Amén de otros muchos músicos  invitados.

El tema que os propongo escuchar 'Anesthetize' incluido en el DVD/Blu-Ray Disc, tiene una duración de 17:20, de ahí que el archivo esté partido en Youtube.
Ponte cómodo y disfruta.


A good impression of myself
Not much to conceal
I'm saying nothing
But I'm saying nothing revealed

I simply am not here
No way I should appear happy
Stop whining please

Because of who we are
We react in mock surprise
The curse off, there must be more
So don't breathe here
Don't leave your bags

I simply am not here
No way I should appear happy
Stop whining please

The dust in my soul
Makes me feel awake in my legs
My head in the clouds
And I'm zoning out

I'm watching TV
But I find it hard to stay conscious
I'm totally bored
But I can't switch off

Only apathy from the pills in me
Its all in me, all in you
Electricity from the pills in me
Its all in me, all in you
Only eMpTV, cult philosophy

We're lost in the mall
Shuffling through the stores like zombies
What is the point
What can money buy

My hand's on a gun
And I find the range, God, tempt me
What did you say
Think I'm passing out

Only apathy from the pills in me
Its all in me, all in you
Electricity from the pills in me
Its all in me, all in you
Only eMpTV, cult philosophy

All the apathy from the pills in me
Its all in me, all in you
Electricity from the pills in me
Its all in me, all in you

Water so warm that day (water so warm that day)
I counted out the waves (I counted out the waves)
As they broke into

The water so warm that day
I was counting out the waves
And I followed their short life
As they broke on the shoreline
I could see you
But I couldn't hear you

You were holding your hat in the breeze
Turning away from me in this moment
You were stolen as black across the sun

Water so warm that day (water so warm that day)
I counted out the waves (I counted out the waves)
As they broke into shore (as they broke into shore)
