Signify is the fourth studio album by British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree, first released in September, 1996. It was the first album that frontman Steven Wilson recorded with a full group of musicians on board from the beginning. Previously he had been recording albums primarily as a one-man band with help gradually from other musicians. A number of the songs (albeit in demo form) were debuted live on the The Sky Moves Sideways tour before being recorded.

  2. "Signify" (Wilson) – 3:26
  3. "The Sleep of No Dreaming" (Wilson) – 5:24
  4. "Pagan" (Wilson) – 1:34
  5. "Waiting (Phase One)" (Wilson) – 4:24

The 2004 re-issue on Snapper Music (2003 on Delerium) contains a second disc of demos fron the Signify sessions, titled Insignificance. It is a remaster of a cassette originally available to subscribers of the Porcupine Tree info service "Transmission". The tracklist is:
