Porcupine Tree started off in 1987 as a psychedelic/space rock band with only Steven Wilson, who was signed to Delerium Records after a period of distributing his own cassettes and passing off PT as an old forgotten FakeBand, like [[Film/ThisIsSpinalTap Spinal Tap]]. On Delerium, Wilson released two and a half albums [[IAmTheBand largely recorded by himself with overdubbing and drum machines]] (some songs on ''The Sky Moves Sideways'' were performed by all the band members) before turning PT into an actual band. Their fourth album, ''Signify'', was their first album where all the band members played. Their next album, ''Stupid Dream'', slightly withdrew from the spacy, psychedelic, EpicRocking material on their earlier albums, adding elements of AlternativeRock and accentuating their ProgressiveRock influences. Starting with ''In Absentia'', their albums have started getting heavier and veering into progressive metal territory, although not to the extent of such bands as Music/{{Opeth}} or Music/DreamTheater.
