Formed in 1987 by Steven Wilson and Richard Barbieri, Porcupine Tree began as a solo project for Wilson, who would later recruit other members to complete the lineup. Over the years, the band has undergone several lineup changes, with Wilson being the primary constant. Their early work was characterized by psychedelic rock and ambient textures, gradually evolving into a more complex, progressive sound.
