The voice you heard was President Richard Nixon speaking to astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin who were on the surface of the moon during the call.
One of my favorite Porcupine Tree songs. I like all of the eras, but the early stuff really has a smooth vibe that just hits me. Good idea not to focus on lyrics on a first listen. This is Music, first and foremost.
this just popped up on my RUclips video page from 10 months ago, wow, great song, very smooth, very relaxing, great flow to the song, I liked this song a lot, this is the type of song you listen to after you've had a bad day, and it will relax you to help you feel better.
The call recording was from the July 20th, 1969 Apollo 11 Moon landing, the conversation was with the Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin with then President Richard Nixon.
This album is one of my favorites and your right must be listened to completely ! When their on the phone they were talking about the moon landing ! And the lyrics sound to me like our sun (Star) is blowing up =( Thanks Y'all
This song wasn't on the original album, it was on the Moonloop ep released in 1994. I guess it must have been put on the album when it was re-released. Try some early PT like The Swallows Dance Above The Sun and the full version of Voyage 34 which was their first single and lasts all of 30 minutes and four seconds, it will blow your mind. You also need to check out Steven Wilsons' other great band No Man which is a duo with vocalist and songwriter Tim Bowness. Their songs are sublimely beautiful especially Angel Gets Caught In The Beauty Trap which is easily the most beautiful song you've never heard and the title track from the album Together We're Stranger which is wonderfully Floydian.
I saw Porcupine Tree live here in northern New Jersey in 1991 (I think) when the opened for YES during the Fragile tour, After their set they received a standing ovation. I don't think anyone there had heard of them, but they blew us all away.
@@kbrewski1 yep! Porcupine Tree's first gigs were in the UK in December 1993 and their first in the US in 1996. The Yes tour that Porcupine Tree opened for was the Full Circle Tour in 2002.
Nirvana, Lex and Porcupine Tree. Can it get any better than this? I was just watching the Porcupine Tree lyric video for Lazarus when this popped up. I think Lazarus is one of their most beautiful songs, incredibly beautiful but it doesn't rival the beauty on display here. Excellent breakdown of the song ladies. I can't wait to hear what you two do next.
Hi Lex ... and hi Nirvana, great to see you both and doing an excellent track from this wonderful album. You are gonna be blown away by track one, the 18 minute version of "The Sky Moves Sideways" which Nick just did. Great reaction to "Stars Die" and Nirvana, you probably didn't realize, but your description was perfect ...as it also describes the sky [ at night ] when all the stars move sideways, when you see film speeded up. How you described the music fits those images which is the title of the album. The talking recording, you were close about flying, and a pilot, except it was a rocket to the moon, not a plane. It was the then President .. Nixon on the phone, to the astronauts and the moon landing. Hope you get to hear more of this music and more early albums, Lex is yet to hear, as well. I really enjoyed you both reacting to a great track, and such a good choice to introduce Nirvana to....and welcome back from your trip together. Byee Jim X
Great choice and reaction. Steven Wilson has said that this song was the first by Porcupine Tree to be played on the radio The Sky Moves Sideways is a great album to explore further
Very nice sisters reaction. A lot of fun. Sounds like you'll be doing a few of these. That's good news for sure. Can't wait to see what's coming up next.
I believe it is a synthesizer and not a keyboard what your sister was asking about. Nice tune with a soothing sound that let you close your eyes to let your mind wander!They we’re referring to the moon landing in 1969!That was tricky Dick President Nixon speaking to Neil Armstrong!
Kind of sorry Nick missed this one, no offense to your cohost intended at all. Hopefully you guys make him listen to it post production. Great album, this one gets a spin at my house fairly regularly still. Thanks for posting, always glad to see SW get some recognition. If you like songs with samples in them you should definitely turn your friend onto "last chance to evacuate planet earth before it is recycled". A melancholy sort of love song on the surface until the sampling starts. Then it gets real dark real quick. Then the more you dig the more unsettling and disturbing it becomes. Simply brilliant songwriting. I'm certain You and Nick have heard it, but it is some of SW's finest work and if your friend likes sampled tracks and has a morbid curiosity about how people can be so manipulative towards each other, it really doesn't get much better than sampling Marshall Applewhite, freak that he was. An old recording of Jim Jones might top it I guess lol. link below ruclips.net/video/w1TGnzEexww/видео.html
Hi Alexia and Nirvana! Cool reaction! Loved the song! I consider myself a huge Porcupine Tree fan. But i do not know this album very well. Beautiful song. Loved your discussion too! ❤️
Love the song and the reaction and yes yes please Lex listen to the rest of the album and maybe up the downstair as well. There is a great instrumental deep cut from the companion disc to up the downstair called ‘Yellow hedgerow dreamscape’ which is well worth a react with Nirvana or Nick. A true progressive piece of music into which you can submerge and ride the flow.
It looks like you really enjoyed having your sister react to some lovely prog with you Alexia. Again, as with most Porcupine Tree, this was my first listen as well, and your comments were well made Nirvana. It's really gratifying to hear a younger person articulate their enjoyment of a fine piece of progressive rock. I'm looking forward to hearing your opinions on other music. I'm sure Nick and Alexia have some lined up! Thank you both.
You're deep in PT's space rock/psychedelic period here. Lots of liquid slide guitar and heavy string synths over tasty grooves was a common soundscape back then. This particular album got some criticism for being too Pink Floyd derivative, which Steven Wilson has even acknowledged.
Very nice song from Porcupine Tree and very good interpretation by Nirvana. Really liked the term gradient applied to the way the song played out. Excellent Reaction. Look forward to hearing more from you two and from all 3 of you with Nick. 👍👍
I don't think that you guys have ever reacted to anything off of their album Signify, another earlier PT album. It's a transitional album between their earlier work, which is more Pink Floyd-like, and later albums like In Absentia and Deadwing. Like all PT and SW works, it's best listened to as a whole. The CD of Signify that I have also has a bonus disc with a bunch of interesting stuff.
Great to see 7:58 you two covering this, one of my favorite PT songs. As others have said, I really like the vibe of older PT. RECOMMEND Small Fish/Burning Sky if you liked Stars Die. I was waiting for you Lex to start some fine air drumming. It was pretty tasty and subtle. 😊 That recording was then President Nixon speaking from the Oval Office, to Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin who had only hours ago become the first humans to set foot on the moon on the Apollo 11 mission. 1969, July 20
Steven Wilson (the Harry Potter of prog) would never admit it….but it is easy to glean a metric ton of Pink Floyd feel in almost every other composition.
Next time you can show her your favorites from porcupine tree. it doesn't matter if you reacted to it already, it will be new for her and would be interesting to see what your sister thinks about your favorites PT songs. You both has nice music taste. cheers.
so the voices in the background talking... Neil Armstrong and President Nixon recording from when the first moon landing took place... actual recording.
Hey, Just a quicky; "What Instrument is that?" (6:26) Actually its just Steven on the Guitar, a clean setting, with a VERY slight addition of a Cry Baby Wah Wah Pedal (let Nick demonstrate that for her :) with lots of reverb and/or echo, along with a acoustic guitar, which was his "sound" back then. I have to say, I feel like a relative that saw Nirvana, not very long ago . . . and then all the sudden, she's GROWN like a Bean Stalk! WTH??? 😅 You guys need to do this more often! I'll also suggest some Porky Tree from their _later years_ to show how they have changed . . . Maybe: Time Flies Arriving Somewhere, Not Here Trains (maybe the Live version to see the guys in action!) She'll get to hear their later drummer Gavin Harrison really getting into it! Note, another band she would like, that is a combo of Prog, Metal and Ambient/Electronica would be *OSI,* the band made-up of the original Keyboardist of Dream Theater "Kevin Moore" (Samples, Keyboards, Vocals), "Jim Matheos" of Fates Warning, ex-Dream Theater "Mike Portnoy" (Drums/Percussion) and the late-"Sean Malone" (Bass/Stick) of Cynic & Gordian Knot. LOTS of dialogue effects within many tracks. Portnoy once described OSI as; "If Radiohead met Dream Theater". Also Kevin Moore's solo albums and his other project band *Chroma Key.* BOTH you have on your shelves :). Take a listen to: "On the Page", gorgeous piano work! His voice will remind you of Wilson's vocals too. Nirvana is very good communicating what she hears and picks-up, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree Lexi! 🙂 - Till next time! 🌊

Loved this track, I hadn't heard this before but anything involving Steven Wilson is pretty much a treasure! Glad you enjoyed it too, Nirvana 😊
This song is a masterpiece in all versions, acoustic, rock, ambient or electronic.
Steven Wilson at his creative peak.
This album is one of my favorites and your right must be listened to completely ! When their on the phone they were talking about the moon landing ! And the lyrics sound to me like our sun (Star) is blowing up =( Thanks Y'all

This musician who has seen /heard more than most says......You guys are awesome! Peace from Detroit MI.

The recording is Pres Nixon talking to the astronauts after landing on the moon.
Great choice and reaction. Steven Wilson has said that this song was the first by Porcupine Tree to be played on the radio
The Sky Moves Sideways is a great album to explore further
my favourite PT's song
Very nice sisters reaction. A lot of fun. Sounds like you'll be doing a few of these. That's good news for sure. Can't wait to see what's coming up next.
Telephone call recording in the middle was Kennedy talking to Neil and Buzz when they landed on the moon.
Very articulate reaction. Now do Shallow - Porcupine Tree
The recording is from the Moon landing. The President (Nixon) is congratulating the astronauts.
Very nice surprise ladies 😊very enjoyable ❤

It sounded like a flat steel guitar that Steve Howe of YES plays

Please listen to Dark Matter off the Signify album.
The spoken voice was The president calling astronauts from the White House.

Tu hermanita se parece a la guitarrista de The Warning. Qué guapas son.
Magnifiscent
The conversation you heard was President Nixon placing a phone call to the crew that that landed on the moon in 1969
so the voices in the background talking... Neil Armstrong and President Nixon recording from when the first moon landing took place... actual recording.
maharottoman hyvä piisi äijällä muutenki hyvä arsenaali musiikkia
Maybe, you could do some Anathema.
Fadeaway is also similar to this song by steve
Les recomiendo la mono tema buen finde
Emerson Lake and Palmer live Montreux Jazz Festival 1997 Tarkus or Honkey Tonk Train Blues or Pictures at an Exhibition ❤️✌🏼🇺🇸🇺🇦
Can you guys shut up and talk after finishing the song? 😒
