What music do they like?

I discovered the music of Steven Wilson a few months back and have been slowly drilling into his back-catalogue, so it would madness not to pick something by him. I can’t write to this particular song, but I am in awe of it. How many people can write a 17-minute epic so changeable and brilliant? It’s Anesthetize by Wilson’s band Porcupine Tree, and I have two versions of it and a recommendation:

Studio version

Live version

Listen to it all the way through, loud!

(The studio version is best, of course, but I love the live performance for the joy on the musicians’ faces. Take your pick which one you watch!)
