Originally released in 2000 in the U.K., LIGHTBULB SUN found Steve Wilson and Porcupine Tree streamlining their prog rock inclinations into song structures that explored more conventional pop territory ("She Moved On" and "Where Would We Be" are cases in point). Which is not to say that the disc doesn't overflow with instrumental prowess and extended explorations, making it one of Porcupine Tree's most well-rounded albums. The 2008 reissue features a new stereo mix of the album, plus a bonus DVD-Audio disc packed with bonus features.
