Porcupine Tree - The Incident NEW Sealed Vinyl LP Album

The concept for The Incident (the band's much lauded 10th studio album from 2009) emerged as Porcupine Tree's creator Steven Wilson, was caught in a motorway traffic jam whilst driving past a road accident. There was a sign saying POLICE INCIDENT and everyone was slowing down to see what had happened. "Afterwards, it struck me that incident is a very detached word for something so destructive and traumatic for the people involved. The irony of such a cold expression for such seismic events appealed to me, and I began to pick out other 'incidents' reported in the media and news, I wrote about the evacuation of teenage girls from a religious cult in Texas, a family terrorizing its neighbors, a body found floating in a river by some people on a fishing trip, and more."
