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, Voyage 34 (Phase I. and II.) in 1992, and Voyage 34: Remixes (Phase III. and IV.), in 1993. 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] 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 fusion of progressive rock, psychedelic rock and trance music.
