 Porcupine - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Most porcupines are about 63 to 91 cm (25 to 36 inches) long, with an 20- to 25- cm (8- to 10-inch) long tail.
Porcupines do not throw their quills; unfortunate attackers approach closely enough to be swatted by the tail or brush against the animal.
Porcupines occupy a wide range of habitats in tropical and temperate parts of Asia, Italy, Africa and the Americas.

 New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock PA-PF
I really like this band, which I can't say about some of their influences (in particular Porcupine Tree, though I'm not that big of a VDGG fan either).
As a result, their material turns out to be, IMHO, much richer and varied than Ozric Tentacles', Radiohead's or Porcupine Tree's (bands that I honestly enjoy, by the way), just to put some other examples of bands that are categorized as prog or near-prog "with a modern sensibility", or something like it.
As it was stated somewhere else, their sound and compositional style are very influenced by Van Der Graaf Generator (75-76 era), and I may add, 78-80 Peter Hammill, as well as some Pink Floyd touches.

 Various Essential Progressive Rock CD
Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and, later, Genesis were other brand leaders — but for every household name there were 50 groups ‘paying their dues’ on the road, performing to a predominantly male, greatcoat-clad crowd of longhairs.
Progressive rock has enjoyed several renaissance periods thanks to contemporary acts like Marillion, Porcupine Tree and, most recently, Radiohead, who have acknowledged their influences and encouraged fans to discover them.
The less sophisticated end of ‘prog’ became heavy metal, though bands like Uriah Heep distinguished themselves from, say, Black Sabbath by leavening the mix with Hammond organ and layered harmonies.

 Shalom Sesame...why is it scary??? - Muppet Central Forum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
I know that they did change the Kippi the Porcupine character to look more Muppet like, and less like a guy in a stuffy porcupine suit.
I want you all to say what you think is scary bout it.
I think you may be thinking of the clasic 1974 Brazillian Sesame Street 'Vila Sesamo'...rife with such memorable classics as 'who is the ousted dictator in your neighborhood?', ''C is for Contra-Rebels', and 'Viva la violente conflictos'.

If I could stop listening to Porcupine Tree, this CD would have received much more CD time...
