Just now discovering and getting into this band. Any comments or recommendations from anyone? I just got the album "Stars Die", (early recordings).

Hard to recommend anything specific because it's all excellent. IIRC, the first PT song I ever heard was Strip the Soul. Deadwing was the first album I bought, and after the first two tracks, I knew I was getting into something good.
Stars Die is a good compilation of the earlier recordings, but PT really starts to shine after Gavin Harrison came on board right after that, beginning with the next album, In Absentia.
Steven Wilson's post-PT solo material is also fantastic.

Really great band. My favorite album is Fear of a Blank Planet. The song Anesthetize is a masterpiece.

I just recently got a book on Porcupine Tree, called "Time Flies: The Story of Porcupine Tree", good book, from the same author and publisher of "Lifting Shadows: The Authorized Biography of Dream Theater"
