I just discovered this band by a friend at work last week...and I absolutely love it. The musicianship of these guys is unreal, and this songs lyrics are so meaningful today...music of today is made for quick consumption, and they depict it perfectly.
I discovered this band after Anathema songs on yt, i was letting the youtube streaming songs as im cookin' and suddenly i hear "way out of here live in tilburg" streamed up and blown away by this band it was long ago xD
The Sound of Muzak Songwriters: Steven Wilson "Hear the sound of music Drifting in the aisles Elevator Prozac Stretching on for miles The music of the future Will not entertain It's only meant to repress And neutralize your brain Soul gets squeezed out Edges get blunt Demographic Gives what you want Now the sound of music Comes in silver pills Engineered to suit you Building cheaper thrills The music of rebellion Makes you want to rage But it's made by millionaires Who are nearly twice your age One of the wonders of the world is going down It's going down I know It's one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares No-one cares enough"
Steven Wilson he is one of the BEST singer in the world. He know to combine great sound effects with he’s guitar and he’s voice is fantastic. Well done.
One of the wonders of the world.... Porcupine Tree.... Has gone down... We should care enough to get it back guys... What a band... Whenever I hear this song.. it melts me
Arindam Sarkar They won’t get back. They’ve gone their separate directions. Wilson is full fledged on his solo works now. He said that he doesn’t want to dig up the past again in some interview
I recently got introduced to this band by a friend. Holy shit how in the hell is this band not any bigger??? Incredible musicians and beautiful songwriting man. Incredible to say the least. I'm very happy I found them but sad that they are no longer playing. Hopefully one day they will reunite.
I've just recently discovered PT and now I listen to this amazing music every time when I'm out walking for hours in the forest. It's so healing. Thank you so much for making the world a better place to live in. Greetings from Sweden
Well we’re 6 years in and still only at 125k views and probably about 2k of those are moi, it’s showing what a sad music world now exists when artists not worthy of that description are getting millions of views for their dross. People have been dumbed down big time.
TY. They are so acclaimed and revered. It's just that the music is so good they can't help but think they should be as popular as taylor swift or something.
A great band! Thanks for existing PT and for giving me great moments. Moments of musical ecstasy. It's amazing what you make feel with your music guys. Your performances alive are amazing.
Discovered these guys thanks to Steven’s music engineering work and Gavin’s newer role in King Crimson. Looking at KC performances and Steven’s wedding pictures, I don’t think either of them age either.
I saw them 3 noghts in a row when they played "The Incident" straight through? Had a 15 min break. Then played an intimate 2 hrs of other past favourites. This was one of the highlights.AND..Gavin Harrison and Danny Carey are the best drummers in the WORLD.

There is a lot of truth to this song . There are so many that just fill a demographic . The focus only seems to be on the sexuality , race and some form of identity or for lack of a better term shitty behavior and the music takes a second or third place to everything else . Thats the world we live in now . Lets hope for a change someday .
Rip the real music , I am so sad our future generations will never hear such sound of Muzak. This song clearly explains how the wonder of the world (music) has gone to shits and we are doing nothing about it.
It's sad that this song came out in 2002, and maybe not even Steven himself saw how bad things would get. Thought boy bands were bad? Now it's so called rappers, who can't rap, and don't write their own rhymes.
Really, I thought we were in good hands with the likes of Simon Cowell and programmes like the voice to make sure great music carries on?! 🤔🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😂
Escute o som da música flutuando pelos corredores Elevador de prozac se espalhando por milhas A música do futuro não vai entreter Apenas pretende reprimir e neutralizar o seu cérebro A alma se espreme O corte fica cego Demográfico Dá o que você quer Uma das maravilhas do mundo está desabando Está desabando, eu sei É uma das besteiras do mundo que ninguém se importa Ninguém se importa o bastante Agora o som da música vem em pílulas cor prata Projetadas para te satisfazerem Construindo emoções baratas A música da revolta faz você querer fúria Mas é feita por milionários Que têm quase o dobro da sua idade A alma se espreme O corte fica cego Demográfico Dá o que você quer Uma das maravilhas do mundo está desabando Está desabando, eu sei É uma das besteiras do mundo que ninguém se importa Ninguém se importa o bastante
And here you can see why it was a mistake of SW to go solo. The gap that Gavin, Colin & Richard left can never be refilled (and if you are not convinced yet, watch the Anesthetize concert again)). This is so much better than anything he will ever churn out solo, especially live. What a musicianship at display here. Phenomenal. Lucky enough to see PT several times on several tours (earliest in 94) but with the arrival of Gavin it became something else entirely. Solo SW plays more loose, this is really tightly played. Compare this with Home Invasion and you will hear the difference. It does however deserve to watch this on DVD or BR. The DTS remix on it from which this number is taken is absolute class.
There’s a video doing the rounds on RUclips where Gavin talks about ( and plays) the drum part to this song. Just type Gavin Harrison sound of Muzak and it’ll come up. 👍🏼
The bass runs on the chorus are epic.
I noticed the same when I heard this song for the first time. 3 days ago ;) Drums are killer too. Second voice is also unusual.
wish they would get collin back in the band tbh, had a unique bass style to pt
Rhythm section is a killer here. Another of my favorites are the live version of "Arriving Somewhere "......
@@itrabos that's becouse there are three voices🙂
Mr.Gavin Harrison!!! One of the most amazing drummers!!
label under: one of the best songs of all time
Gavin is super tight on this track, his drumming makes it so melodic and musical.
The guitar tones are SO good, especially Steven's during his solo
Yeah🔥
PRS guitars are a big part of that equation

Wow! You must be so blown away. And you have a lot to dig into. I am still finding new stuff after 15 years.
I discovered this band after Anathema songs on yt, i was letting the youtube streaming songs as im cookin' and suddenly i hear "way out of here live in tilburg" streamed up and blown away by this band it was long ago xD
Best 4 months ever?
I discovered this band by watching a drum cover from a Polish drummer named Igor Falecki. LOL And damn he's good.
Check out Stephen Wilsons' solo stuff. Mind blowing. The raven that refused to sing is an incredible piece of work
Just watched the recent video of this song. Craig Blundell did a great job on drums but no one can beat this man ! Gavin ! You genius !
I can’t believe I didn’t know of this band until now. So ashamed. But happy now that I can explore their music!
Welcome to the party I just discovered them last year.:)
Sound of Muzak is the song that 'got me' with PT....then 'Arriving somewhere but not here' and I was all in...
Same for me.
same
Nice,
Mine is Anesthetized.
This is the song. Posted on Prog Achieves back in the early 00's. Been a fan ever since.
most undurstimated band ever. genius
Totalmente d' accordo

The Sound of Muzak
Songwriters: Steven Wilson
"Hear the sound of music
Drifting in the aisles
Elevator Prozac
Stretching on for miles
The music of the future
Will not entertain
It's only meant to repress
And neutralize your brain
Soul gets squeezed out
Edges get blunt

Gives what you want
Now the sound of music
Comes in silver pills
Engineered to suit you
Building cheaper thrills
The music of rebellion
Makes you want to rage
But it's made by millionaires
Who are nearly twice your age
One of the wonders of the world is going down
It's going down I know
It's one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares
No-one cares enough"
wow i love the musics but this is so boomer haha
Steven Wilson he is one of the BEST singer in the world. He know to combine great sound effects with he’s guitar and he’s voice is fantastic.
Well done.
That triplet run at 3:28 gives me goosebumps every time
1:18 what a tasteful yet risky decision. Gavin Harrison is boss.
The Best!!!❤
One of the wonders of the world.... Porcupine Tree....
Has gone down... We should care enough to get it back guys...
What a band... Whenever I hear this song.. it melts me

Excelente tema, un solo de guitarra con mucho sentimiento y Harrison en la batería extraordinario. Gracias Steven Wilson por tan magnifica música!!!

just did
Album out soon
Gavin's drum sound and playing... Still amazing! :)

One of my favourite! Gavin and steven at their top
In love with the extension (on the original solo) at 3:21. Simply, in love. Gives me goosebumps EVERY SINGLE TIME.
So amazing I adore them this song is everything I feel about the world!!
215 views? wtf?
Gavin Harrison is so fucking solid.
His fills are (s)ex(xx)tremely tasteful
Not everyone gets it bro
Solid as a rock and his cymbal work and fills are out of this world. Well enough said.
Well we’re 6 years in and still only at 125k views and probably about 2k of those are moi, it’s showing what a sad music world now exists when artists not worthy of that description are getting millions of views for their dross. People have been dumbed down big time.
this is music
One of the most properly rated bands of all time.
TY. They are so acclaimed and revered. It's just that the music is so good they can't help but think they should be as popular as taylor swift or something.
The backing vocals are amazing as everything else
I love the groove
Did anyone notice the smile on Colin Edwin's face?
He’s always smiling :D
he just like what he’s doing
No, did he smile?
Hes a badass. What a rhythm section. The groovemasters!!!
La perfección hecha música.
A great band! Thanks for existing PT and for giving me great moments. Moments of musical ecstasy. It's amazing what you make feel with your music guys. Your performances alive are amazing.
This chorus is the celebration of music !
It goes both ways. Quite ironic and yet it warns us profoundly.
Discovered these guys thanks to Steven’s music engineering work and Gavin’s newer role in King Crimson. Looking at KC performances and Steven’s wedding pictures, I don’t think either of them age either.
Most beautiful Solo ive ever heard 😍❤️
Scott Harrison killing it on drums as usual!
Gavin
I just discovered this band and let me tell you that bass line and drums are amazing 😍 can't wait to hear more from them
Only wish is to see porcupine tree back together.
What an outstanding piece!!!!
Wesley's guitar tone is so sexy!!
He's playing a PRS Hollowbody II Piezo. Looks and sounds gorgeous. Quality item.
My fav song Steven, with Mr Gavin on the drums & J.W on guitar! . ❤ \m/
Steven Wilson is a god tier song writer.
Porcupine Tree at their peak
I love the unpredictable nature of that guitar solo 🤘
This groove breaks my heart
Steven Wilson and Gavin Harrison!!!!!!!! Woooooow
This song is one of the wonders of the world and no one cares
Semplicemente grandiosi
One of the blunders of the world is not listening to this band
:01 to the end...Pure Bliss!
And replay
Holy crap you have to hear this in DTS 5.1, it's AMAZEBALLS!
I saw them 3 noghts in a row when they played "The Incident" straight through? Had a 15 min break. Then played an intimate 2 hrs of other past favourites. This was one of the highlights.AND..Gavin Harrison and Danny Carey are the best drummers in the WORLD.
Great band... great song and it could very well be about western civilization given the current socio/political climate.
@@alonespirit_1Q84 what Do you mean by that
It's incredible how this song doesn't have the same feeling when Gavin is not at the drumset...
1:18 - 1:21 I love this drum fill
Agreed.
@@juniperberry4295 YES!
The man shows restraint AND virtuosity at the same time. Brilliant musician.

Spot on! The bureaucrats have done a great job of turning people against one another with this identity garbage.
Franzon, OBRIGADA!
Who is here after watching Steven's Home invasion version😅
Me right now!😅
Same here!
The bassist there keeps playing a wrong note.. it's so irritating. And John Wesley ❤️
hahaha
Same xD
4:23 what are the backing vocals saying here???
Rip the real music , I am so sad our future generations will never hear such sound of Muzak. This song clearly explains how the wonder of the world (music) has gone to shits and we are doing nothing about it.
It's sad that this song came out in 2002, and maybe not even Steven himself saw how bad things would get. Thought boy bands were bad? Now it's so called rappers, who can't rap, and don't write their own rhymes.
Really, I thought we were in good hands with the likes of Simon Cowell and programmes like the voice to make sure great music carries on?! 🤔🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😂
Does anyone know the kind of snare drum, Gavin is playing on this gig? Sounds phenomenal!
Best Drummer
what a song
Brilliant😀
I remember hearing some kid try and tell me that Mudvayne (of all bands) was “math rock”. No…….Porcupine Tree is math rock.
Boooom ave it.
this fucking swings
If Pink Floyd and Tool had a love child...
Enough with the Tool comparisons. I've rarely ever thought PT sounded like Tool. They sound like PT end of
@@omairsh8 I fully agree but this song has a bit of the tool vibes
Haa, Tool is Child of Porcupine tree for me..
A very serious question: what shampoo was Steven using here? His hair's so shiny I'm jealous 😂😂
Gavin the Groove
Gavin fuckin' Harrison, my droogy that's it
Gavin ❤❤
Escute o som da música flutuando pelos corredores
Elevador de prozac se espalhando por milhas
A música do futuro não vai entreter
Apenas pretende reprimir e neutralizar o seu cérebro
A alma se espreme
O corte fica cego
Demográfico
Dá o que você quer
Uma das maravilhas do mundo está desabando
Está desabando, eu sei
É uma das besteiras do mundo que ninguém se importa
Ninguém se importa o bastante
Agora o som da música vem em pílulas cor prata
Projetadas para te satisfazerem
Construindo emoções baratas
A música da revolta faz você querer fúria
Mas é feita por milionários
Que têm quase o dobro da sua idade
A alma se espreme
O corte fica cego
Demográfico
Dá o que você quer
Uma das maravilhas do mundo está desabando
Está desabando, eu sei
É uma das besteiras do mundo que ninguém se importa
Ninguém se importa o bastante
Obrigado amigo, você é um amigo

And his name is Gavin Harrison!!!
Mr Gavin Harrison ladies and gentlemen!!
No. Thank you Steven.
Gavin is best !
1:19 ooooooooh dear you brush agaisnt a disaster!!! Anyway good drumming very clear and technical!
The off beat was on purpose...its Gavin Harrison's genius technical skills.
Can anyone tell me the time signature?
Essentially it´s 7/4
Thanks🙌🏻

The most pretentious song ever lmao but it’s good
Those who don’t listen to Procupine Tree, they haven’t discover music yet.
