I read somewhere that it was only released as "Biomech" in Japan and then released worldwide under the name Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine.

I think this would rather make his "Ocean Machine" more of a debut album than Infinity.

E: Wikipedia seems to be on my side with this too..

Hehe it doesn't really matter.

But just to be an ass...."Ocean Machine - Biomech, Later re-released as Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine-Biomech."

@ People who said On the Sunday of Life... is Porcupine Tree's best album, I think that in comparison to some of the newer albums (IN ABSENTIA), On the Sunday of Life... is incomparable. It's my favorite "Delerium Years" album but compared to the newer stuff, it's not as good.

Am I being a troll saying that?

Who said OTSOL was PT's best album? This thread is about favorite debut records. "In Absentia" has always been my favorite, too, but it wasn't exactly their "debut". All their shit is pretty much brilliant in my book, but I would agree that their newer, heavier stuff is their overall best work, though. PT's evolution has been fun to observe from one record to the next, and much like with Opeth, you can pretty much count on them to continue pushing the envelope and we're all lucky enough to be around to witness it!

It's a great time to be alive... (well, from a musical standpoint, anyway!)
