FEATURED WEB CLIENTS

Porcupine Tree are Steven Wilson, Richard Barbieri and Gavin Harrison. They are a hugely influential, relentlessly creative British rock band.

Porcupine Tree have constantly evolved as their expansive music has shifted from pastoral psychedelic rock and ambient electronic soundscapes to experimental pop and eventually - with “21st century masterpiece” In Absentia (Classic Rock) - a propulsive metal sound all of their own. Their latter records effortlessly combined each of those genres and allowed Porcupine Tree to occupy a musical universe unique to them.

In 2021, the band announced a reunion after over 12 years of being inactive. Crystal Spotlight were commissioned by the band to produce a video for the comeback single 'Harridan' which was released in November 2021. The band's eleventh studio album 'Closure / Continuation' will be released in June 2022.

Crystal Spotlight manage Porcupine Tree's online channels to generate engaging, quality content for their dedicated fanbase.

Steven Wilson is a Grammy nominated English musician and producer. Currently a solo artist, he is best known as the founder, lead guitarist, singer and songwriter of the band Porcupine Tree, but is also a member of several other bands and has worked with artists such as Opeth, King Crimson, Pendulum, Jethro Tull, XTC, Yes, and Anathema.

In a career spanning more than 30 years, Wilson has made music prolifically and earned widespread critical acclaim. Nevertheless, his work has largely stayed away from mainstream music, being described by publications such as The Daily Telegraph as "the most successful British artist you've never heard of".

Since 2012, Crystal Spotlight has worked closely with Steven Wilson to deliver engaging quality content through his website and social media channels. We have assisted in promotional campaigns for four studio albums to date with SW – 2013’s ‘The Raven That Refused To Sing’, 2015’s ‘Hand. Cannot. Erase.’, 2017’s ‘To The Bone’ and 2021's 'THE FUTURE BITES'.

Dream Theater is a multi grammy award nominated American progressive rock band formed in 1985 in Boston, Massachusetts. As of 2017, Dream Theater have sold over 10 million records worldwide.

Dream Theater approached Crystal Spotlight in the summer of 2017 to overhaul the band’s online presence. In September 2017, we launched a modern, responsive, content packed website for the band that brings together their wealth of material to create a deep, immersive experience for the new or experienced fan.

In 2019, we managed the online promotion for their 14th studio album 'Distance Over Time' and in 2021 we worked with the band once more on the campaign for their 15th studio album 'A View From The Top Of The World'. Both album campaigns were very successful, with the band scoring high chart positions all over the world, including a no.1 album in Germany for 'Distance Over Time'.

Crystal Spotlight also manage Dream Theater’s online channels to generate engaging, quality content for their dedicated fanbase.

SMART USER EXPERIENCE & DESIGN

Nowadays, many websites can place an over-reliance on design and forget about what is most important - a smart user experience. We believe our website work represents beautiful design, engaging features and ease of use.
