On The Sunday Of Life... is the debut album of British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree, first released in July, 1991. It basically compiles tracks that Steven Wilson produced and recorded for two cassette-only releases, Tarquin's Seaweed Farm (1989) and The Nostalgia Factory (1990).
This first real album contained a lot of weird material, but also some tracks that would grow to be among the group's classic songs. On the Sunday of Life... was to Porcupine Tree what The Piper at the Gates of Dawn was to Pink Floyd.
Most of the lyrics were written by one Alan Duffy, a friend with whom Steve shared an interest in Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett, something that was clearly noticeable in the strange lyrics.
