Porcupine Tree - Voyage 34
After a few obscure experimental tape releases, Voyage 34 was the debut single by Hertfordshire's Porcupine Tree (then just a solo act). This 30 minute journey is by all accounts a dance track verging on the fuzzy edge of chillout, with deep ghostly voice samples, lush atmospherics and dreamy space-rock sequences which drift in and out of a guitar driven hook - which is just enough to keep the listener interested over its entirety. The basis of the track is the experience of one man's journey during a bad acid trip, imagine The Orb covering Pink Floyd's Echoes and you would be in about the right place musically, though the message and the choice of samples used were enough to ensure no airplay.
Ripped from a compact disc single released on Delerium Records (DELEC CDEP 010) in 1992 to high quality lossless FLAC audio.
