Completed for February 2000, with string arrangements provided by Dave Gregory of XTC , Porcupine Tree’s sixth studio album, Lightbulb Sun , built on the mix of songwriting, soundscaping, and rock dynamics of Stupid Dream . The album was released in May 2000, preceded by the single ” Four Chords That Made a Million “. A sold-out show at the Scala in London began a short run of UK shows, that were followed later in the year by European festival dates and a major tour supporting Dream Theater . The band continued touring through the end of 2000 and start of 2001, including their first major tour of Germany. A special double CD edition of the Lightbulb Sun album was issued in Israel and Germany.
