Editing Porcupine Tree (section)

====''Up the Downstair''====
In the midst of Porcupine Tree's rising success, Wilson's other band, No-Man, had been getting excellent UK press, which led to the band being signed to leading UK independent music publisher, Hit & Run Music Publishing, in 1991, which resulted in recording agreements with [[One Little Indian Records]], and Epic 440/Sony in the US. No-Man's success gave Wilson the opportunity to leave his regular job and devote his time solely to music. All of the Delirium releases were published by Hit & Run, whose executive Dave Massey had signed No-Man and continued to be closely involved in the Porcupine Tree project.

In May 1993, the second Porcupine Tree album, ''[[Up the Downstair]]'', was released, another prospective double album that was finally slimmed down to a single record. "Voyage 34" was actually going to take up the second disc, but it was last decided to be released alone as a single. The album was highly praised, ''[[Melody Maker]]'' describing it as "a psychedelic masterpiece... one of the albums of the year."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.delerium.co.uk/delerium/releases/delec020.html|title=Delerium Records: Porcupine Tree – Up The Downstair|date=2000|access-date=18 April 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070826202210/http://www.delerium.co.uk/delerium/releases/delec020.html |archive-date=26 August 2007}}</ref> The album continued the [[fusion (music)|fusion]] of [[electronic music]] and rock and also featured guest appearances from two future Porcupine Tree members, [[Richard Barbieri]], of 1970s-80s art rock band [[Japan (band)|Japan]], and [[Colin Edwin]].
