Porcupine Tree release that equals Lightbulb Sun?


I'm a Porcupine Tree fan. Love Lightbulb Sun and In Absentia. Own several earlier releases. Own Deadwing...blah. That's when I stopped buying PT recordings.

Do any recent Porcupine Tree releases measure up to Lightbulb Sun?

Tvad - can you elaborate on what you like about Lightbulb Sun, and In Absentia? I have the latter, but not the former, nor have I heard it. It's interesting because my least favorite of all PT releases I have is "In Absentia", and I had to work at it to like it at all. On the other hand I really like Deadwing.

I tend to favor their late '90's work like Sky Moved Sideways, Signify, Stupid Dream. I think it's a little "spacier", and less Pop than what their doing now. I just picked up Fear of a Blank Planet (actually giving it a first listen now) - and really like it

Coma Divine is fantastic for it's performance and recording quality alone (it's a live 2 cd release)
Deadwing is a fabulous album.
I agree - I have it on vinyl - great sonics.

Another cd I didn't mention among my favorites in my previous post is "Recordings". It's a limited release so is hard to find and expensive (a couple are available on Amazon.com for ~$100 ea! I didn't pay that much since I bought it when it first came out at normal prices).

Another fun project I enjoy a lot is No-man.
I have No-man "Flowermouth" and like it, but not as much as the 2 Blackfield CDs which are fantastic. No-man cannot be mistaken for PT though, which is not the case with Blackfield since Steve Wilson is the vocalist on both.
