Voyage 34: The Complete Trip is a compilation album by British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree. It was originally released as a limited set of two 12" singles in 1992 (Phase I. and II.) and 1993 (Phase III. and IV.). The remastered edition entitled 'Voyage 34: The Complete Trip' featuring all the four tracks was issued in 2000. A third remaster was published by Snapper Music in 2004, with expanded artwork including a new cover image. (This Digipak version also includes a hidden track at position 18:50 within track 4, after Phase IV ends at 13:42).[citation needed] It should be noted, that the track Voyage 34 was originally recorded for the album Up the Downstair, but was dropped during the final production.

Despite being mostly instrumental, Voyage 34 can be considered a concept album, where the LSD trip of a young man called Brian is told with spoken words. Musically it is a unique fusion of progressive rock and trance music.
