Just to correct you slightly - it will be a DVD-V rather than a DVD-A. Cheers, Simon |

Got this back from Steve's myspace:
Hello there Tony What's best for the band on this ocassion is actually for you to buy the album from a regular retailer. It won't be sold through Burning Shed or Headphone Dust (but look out for a special limited edition deluxe version!) Paul Edited by Tony R - March 20 2007 at 14:54 |

Well, hopefully Amazon will be able to ship it quicker than they have with Blackfield II. I'm still awaiting delivery of that cd.

New Interview Posted On MTV Site:
Porcupine Tree's Wilson Talks Complex New LP, Project With Opeth's AkerfeldtFrontman ponders the impact of information technology on today's generation.Ours is an age in which instant gratification is never more than a few mouse clicks away, and that doesn't sit well with Porcupine Tree mastermind Steven Wilson. He thinks all this technology business is going to end up biting society in its proverbial butt. And it's this fear that helped shape the concept of the forthcoming Fear of a Blank Planet, due in stores April 24. Click on the link above for the full interview.
Thanks to MTV for the interview and to PT Forum for the heads up. Edited by Tony R - March 27 2007 at 14:37 |

 This album might be the best post-space PT record. The music in between the interview bits is just phenomenal. I think I heard a musical reference recalling a theme from the song "Trains" from In Absentia. Perhaps there will be a solid thematic connection between the person playing with the train set and the blank children on Fear of a Blank Planet? |

Apparently only a 1000 copies of the deluxe edition are available for order in Europe.
 The place I usually order from (CD services) have only been assigned 10 copies and I wasn't quick enough on the order button.

www.fearofablankplanet.com has downloads now! Banners, icons, etc. Unfortunately the banners don't work when you add them to you blog or w/e... They should really fix that.

I thought it was a good concept until I heard he got most of his ideas for it from a book he read... :/
But I didn't like the music so I wasn't going to get it anyway. :P

What's wrong with getting ideas from a book? Do you really think all your favorite concept albums were thought up out of nothing?

No, but there's a difference between being inspired by something and taking your ideas from something. The interview made it sound much more like the latter.

It's not exactly the most original idea ever, you must admit. Kids staying inside and playing Xbox while medicated? I've not really heard it in musical concept format, though. It sounds like the book eventually has the kids disappear to get away from all of that crap, and SW said little about FOABP regarding the ending. So drawing conclusions now would be premature.

Please note that Fear of a Blank Planet will *not* be available to order from the band directly, at least not until after the release date. What we need you to do this time is buy the album from regular retail outlets, and from within your own country (so if you're in Europe please order it from your local store, rather than from the US for example).
