* ''On the Sunday of Life'' (1991) - consists of tracks from the early cassettes ''Tarquin's Seaweed Farm'', ''Love, Death & Mussolini'' and ''The Nostalgia Factory''. Wilson mentioned in the reissue's liner notes that this album is impossible to remaster because it was recorded directly to tape on various 4-, 8- and 16-track machines at his home, and the tracks would be wiped once he finished a song.
** ''Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape'' (1992) - a compilation of the leftover early tracks that didn't make it on ''Sunday''. Includes the original cassette version of "Radioactive Toy", a song that was re-recorded for ''Sunday''. The CD version includes a cover of "The Cross" by [[Prince]], while the vinyl version replaces that with "Out" (originally from ''Love, Death & Mussolini'').
* ''Up the Downstair'' (1993) - features [[Early
** Remastered, partially re-recorded with the band and re-released in 2005, bundled with the ''Staircase Infinities'' EP.
* ''The Sky Moves Sideways'' (1995) - ''almost'' their first band effort; time constraints during recording meant that "The Moon Touches Your Shoulder" and "Dislocated Day" were entirely recorded by Wilson alone.

** ''The Incident'': Has a theme of moments that change someone's life forever. The title track was inspired by a car accident Wilson witnessed, and his thoughts the the word "incident" was a very cold way to describe an event that could destroy people's lives. Another song (The Blind House) was inspired by the US government raid on a cult's ranch in Texas where polygamous marriages to teenage girls were going on.
* [[Cover Version]]: The US version of ''Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape'' includes a cover of [[Prince]]'s "The Cross".
Line 87:
* [[Progressive Metal]]: ''In Absentia'' onward. It helps that ever since that album, the metal community has considered them a member, with websites such as ''Metal Storm'' and ''Metal Underground'' reviewing their latest albums and adding their artist profile to their database.
* [[Record Producer]]: Steven Wilson does it himself, and has produced other bands (most notably [[Opeth]]). He's also been remixing [[King Crimson]]'s old albums for re-release.
* [[Self
* [[Stoic Spectacles]] Steven Wilson is a pretty man. More so with glasses than without.
* [[Shout
** ''Fear of a Blank Planet'' is named after [[Public Enemy]]'s ''Fear of a Black Planet''.
* [[Take That]]: A bunch to the music industry, such as "Piano Lessons" and "The Sound of Muzak". The entire ''Fear of a Blank Planet'' album can be seen as one to today's youth popular culture as a whole, with "Anesthetize" directly mentioning MTV.
