I really like We Lost The Skyline - a really great little unique live album. I love it on Normal when SW starts again

It's fantastic for an on the spot recording though. Great stuff.

been listening to iem a lot now recently. "an escalator for xmas" and "iem" stand out as favourites, but the two other ones are great too. these records have amazing replay-value.

also, just ordered bass communion - loss, live in mexico (FLAC dload) and porcupine tree - we lost the skyline. any thoughts on the latter album?

Yeah, I know what you mean! LOL
I've been thinking about getting Sunsets on Empire by Fish just to hear SW... not that I don't enjoy Fish Tongue

I especially can't wait for it; I haven't heard anything from it yet, so I'm stoked.  I have the 5.1 mix of Lightlbulb Sun but I don't have a 5.1 player... or else I would have heard a few of the tracks by now. 
 
I wish Steve would release Out Absentia one day... I really wanna hear 'Cut Ribbon,' which features Mikael Akerfeldt.

I really can't wait for the Recordings reissue. I was just listening to some of the tracks from it on the PT website. I like Access Denied a lot. Very Beatles-esque and quite different to the usual PT sound.

^ Oh, that's great!  I won't have much money after buying books for college, so I'll need a break from purchasing SW stuff for a while (or any music for that matter)...

It doesn't really matter how much money you have. If you were a PT completest type collector you would eventually be poor wouldn't you?

^I just ordered the IEM boxset Embarrassed I really am a SW fanboy. How much have I spent on PT/SW projects this year? A wee bit too much, I think. What was someone saying about being poor? LOL

I probably will never get the chance to hear this stuff again, so I figured I had to get this boxset while stocks last. Fortunately, Headphone Dust takes Paypal, because I think I've overdone my limit on my Debit Mastercard for this month, mostly on PT related music! Haha

i got the iem box set today, truly amazing. the packaging is fantastic, the music is fantastic. i love the vintage photos, there's a photo of 5(ish) year old SW and lots of stuff with a 60s/70s feel to it.

It's got some random spoken word segments, although nothing sung or really musical, rather random trippy chatter

I wish I spoke Romanian!  do have an English bio available anywhere? 


I wrote this bio for their page on ProgArchives: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=5080
This is the bio on Last.fm: http://www.last.fm/music/Byron/+wiki

I'm glad you like them! Apparently it wasn't a bad move to suggest this to PT fans Tongue
