After a bit of stuffing around (I had to download a conversion tool and convert the song to MP3 format) I finally got Meantime uploaded to my Ipod. I'm right now listening to I Fail from the Out Absentia demos over on YouTube.
Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while...

Nothing really, it's just painfully similar to this track imo:

Also, according to the Burning Shed Twitter:

Anesthetize Special Edition shipping from tomorrow, RED copies first. Will take until Friday (at least) to ship all orders.

And some other comments say that that means that all Reds will be posted by this friday, and as many greys as possible as well...

I took it to mean that they would have them all posted out by today. Ah well, at least the wheels are finally turning.

^LOL. It was definitely a bit of a creative gamble on PTs part. It's quite different to their usual sound, but its a very pleasant song. 

PS: What's wrong with Radiohead?Tongue

I'm actually much of a fan of Meantime myself, not a bad track by any means, just sound way too much like Radiohead for my liking.

Just downloaded Meantime from Burning Shed. A song taken from the In Absentia sessions, and cut off the album. It's very different to PTs other stuff, but I really like it. Only one British pound! Kind of a classical/folky guitar piece, with an almost cheery mainstream sound!

Me too. It sounds really really awesome live. I hear the RAH gig at the end of this year will be three hours.

It sounds incredible.

I'd love to see that gig... How can they not film it?
It really is their biggest gig EVER... I'd love just a CDR even, like the Ilosaarirock CD...
Another DVD would be like a dream come true, although ANY recording would be appreciated.


Also, RE The Incident Live: I liked the album, but didn't love it 'till I saw it live. Every single performance was AMAZING, and there was basically no gap in between track with Steven switching guitars, etc. The jumps in dynamic were perfectly pulled of as well, like the transition from the heavier riff starts in The Incident, and then the pop-rocky outro... Perfect

My love for the Incident increased 100 fold when I saw them perform it live. Amazing. Rawks
Perhaps they will release the Albert Hall gig as one of those Residents of A Blank Planet exclusives. 

Yeah, they do need another live CD for this run of RoaBP... Since it's a 3 hour gig, a 2CD live album would be lovely...

Although since Mr. Barbieri has said they probably won't film it, I don't want to get excited over it.

Nope, waiting for the email confirmation still.

It's only 9:30 AM on June the 1st in England, though, so they'll hopefully send confirmations sometime soon.

They better post them today - All the talk in here and on the PTF about how amazing it is both spirit-crushing and exciting.

Never (legally) recorded, but it probably would've been played live for the band to get some practice in of playing it in a live setting.

It's available on the rare Lazarus CD single. Luckily, I got myself a copy for $2.

I'm not sure, but was "Half-Light" ever played live before Anesthetize came out?

After reading the reviews of the Porcupine Tree DVD, saying that the DTS sound is great, i can't wait to see the blu-ray version June 15th.

Considering they probably won't play The Incident in its entirety after this tour (they're probably sick of playing it every night by now), there needs to be some recorded document of it. 

Finnforest, I agree with you calling them a 'live' band. The studio albums are great, but somehow the live environment makes them sound even better. Wish I could go and see PT every night, lol.

THEY NEED TO FILM THE INCIDENT!  They have to realize that every fan would love to see it.

Seriously, after watching the new DVD, they really NEED to film some Incident show and release it.  I've no doubt it would come across much better by this live band than the album did.
