Voyage 34 is a concept album, where the LSD trip of a young man called Brian is told with spoken words. Musically it is a fusion of progressive rock, psychedelic rock and trance music.

Originally a 30-minute track intended to be the second disc of Up The Downstair, Wilson eventually decided to release "Voyage 34" independently of the rest of the album. It was released in two parts, as singles, as Phase I & Phase II in 1992.

In 1993, Voyage 34: Remixes was released, containing two remixes of the originals. "Voyage 34 (Phase III)" was a remix by the British electronic music group Astralasia, while "Voyage 34 (Phase IV)" was a remix by Wilson himself, along with future band member Richard Barbieri.

A voice sample of  Dead Can Dance 's song  "As the Bell Rings the Maypole Spins"  is repeated throughout all four tracks as well as a synth effect sampled from  Van der Graaf Generator 's song " A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers ".

Steven Wilson said of Voyage 34:

“The whole point about Voyage 34 was an exercise in genre. In that sense it stands apart from the rest of the catalogue...back in the early Nineties, there was an explosion in ambient music, a fusion of electronic music and techno music with the philosophy of people like Brian Eno and Tangerine Dream. I thought there was an interesting opportunity to do something that would bring progressive rock and psychedelia into that mixture. I wouldn't say Voyage 34 was a technical exercise, that makes it sound like a science project, but it was a one-off experiment in a particular genre in which I knew I wouldn't be staying for very long.”

Steven Wilson revisits early Porcupine Tree single as part of The Future Bites Sessions

Steven Wilson

Steven Wilson has made a return journey to the trippy Voyage 34 as part of his The Future Bites Sessions. The solo track was originally released under the banner of Porcupine Tree in 1992 and, at the time, was one of the longest singles ever released at 30 minutes. Wilson's updated version is a fraction the size at just under six minutes.

The original version of the song was intended to be released as part of Porcupine Tree's Up the Downstair album but was instead issued as a standalone record. The concept explores one man's LSD trip via spoken word and includes a voice sample from Dead Can Dance's As The Bell Rings The Maypole Spins . 

Soon after the single was released, Wilson expanded his solo project to a full band. He recalls: "I was very resistant to it becoming a band. After the success of the first few records, [then record label] Delerium said, ‘You need to play live!’ I said, ‘I don’t want to. I hate playing live!’ – and I did. I’d done it with No-Man and hated it. But one day they came back and said, ‘Mark Radcliffe at Radio 1 wants you to do a live session…’ and at that point I couldn’t say no any more."

Almost a decade after its original release, Wilson released four different versions of Voyage 34 on the 2000 compilation Voyage 34: The Complete Trip. The mini-album is also part of 2020's Porcupine Tree box set, The Delirium Years . 

Steven Wilson's new solo album The Future Bites is out on January 29, 2021. Check out his previously unreleased reworking of Voyage 34 below.
