Tarquin's Seaweed Farm is the first album to be released by Steven Wilson under the name 'Porcupine Tree'. It was originally a compiled cassette of experimental music made by Steven Wilson for his joke band he formed with his friend Malcom Stocks. The cassette was only sent out to a few people, but was enough to give the band a bit of fame in the UK underground music scene of the time, being picked up by the underground magazine Freakbeat. It was later released under Delerium Records in 1991 with a few tweaks in the track listing. Eventually, the tracks from this and the later Porcupine Tree Album The Nostalgia Factory were compiled into what are considered Porcupine Tree's first true studio albums, On the Sunday of Life and Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape.
