Definitely would love some of those on CD!
Man, I really hope they make a live DVD of The Incident tour; can't get over just how brilliant the show was. Every time I put it on I have flashbacks
Even a CD would suffice, but a DVD would be brilliant

Yes. I don't really need yet another live version of Halo or Trains (I have several now LOL), so I do wish they'd release some older live material as either CDs or Burning Shed downloads. I wonder if they have many shows in the archive that were professionally recorded and mixed? Nearfest 2001? Progfest 1999, San Francisco? Those would already have my money if they were released!LOL
Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while...

Well, I also have Arriving Somewhere and Rockpalast downloads, both from the Deadwing tour, with only slightly different setlists! LOL


i'd love to see them release some vintage stuff like a live recording from the sky moves sideways tour, or one from the stupid dream tour. on limited cd or download. in that case they would practically already have my money.

^Yeah, me too. I always become poor after buying everything SW releases! LOL 

I thought I was safe until Recordings comes out later this year. But I may be forced to purchase this download. Like Joel, I have all of these tracks in live form, except for A Smart Kid. Just that track alone makes me interested. LOL

Oooooh, a live version of A Smart Kid has piqued my interest, even though I already have all the other tracks live.
Will be considering that one for sure!

Do you plan on purchasing the vinyl, idiotPrayer?


i will probably...i'm quite ashamed to say that i do not own in absentia yet in any formShocked, neither any newer album (except for anesthetize). it would sure be cool, especially when it's a tonefloat release.

also i suspect there's a deadwing vinyl reissue coming up on tonefloat soon, as it's a similar case to the one with in absentia.

in absentia is being re-released on vinyl by tonefloat:

 "porcupine tree's in absentia deluxe vinyl edition

when released in september 2002, porcupine tree's 7th studio album in absentia not only was their first for a major label (lava/warner) but also the one that added a more heavy sound to the band's already eclectic blend of influences that graced previous albums. a sound that would be explored for most of the decade that had just started, and that opened to a whole new audience. the signing to a major meant that little attention was given to vinyl, as the format was in its dark age at the beginning of the century, and the album was only available on wax through lava/warner in europe for a brief period, in 2003. following classic vinyl editions of fear of a blank planet, the incident, tonefloat now releases porcupine tree's seminal album on vinyl again in a beautiful re-designed package, as always on 180 grams audiophile vinyl.

a regular edition is released on black vinyl, with a special edition of 1,500 copies available on coloured vinyl, and housed in a special spotvarnished gatefold picture sleeve. the release date is set to july 12, and both versions can now be pre-ordered directly from our tonefloat shop."

exclusive porcupine tree concert download available in aid of mick karn:

"This download comprises a complete 2 hour live performance from the Fear of a Blank Planet tour.

The show was recorded and mixed to the usual PT standards in order to provide material for a planned live album, but when the decision was taken to film much of the same repertoire in Holland for a major DVD release instead, the Atlanta recording ended up back in the vault.

Now PT have now decided to make it available in complete form as a download only release in order to raise funds for Mick Karn's treatment for cancer. Although the repertoire is similar to that on the Anesthetize DVD, the performance has its own atmosphere, and also includes the first ever officially released live recording of "A Smart Kid".

The mp3s are high quality 320kbps files and there is a break between tracks 8 and 9 in case you want to burn your own 2 CD set, for which Carl Glover has also provided CD artwork.

Please note that all Porcupine Tree's profits from the sale of the Atlanta download will go directly to the Mick Karn Appeal. Burning Shed's profits will go to Macmillan Cancer Support. "

Tracks

 1 Fear of a Blank Planet
 2 What Happens Now?
 3 Sound of Muzak
 4 Sentimental
 5 Drown With Me
 6 Anesthetize
 7 Open Car
 8 Dark Matter

 9 Cheating the Polygraph
 10 A Smart Kid
 11 Blackest Eyes
 12 Half-Light
 13 Way Out of Here
 14 Sleep Together
 15 Even Less
 16 Halo

Finland No. 1
Germany No.2

Sweden No.6
Holland No.8
Italy No.13
Australia No.18

number 1 in finland! that's cool. i think they're quite big here, last time they played here they were supposed to play at a quite small place, but due to demand they had to move to a bigger one (the helsinki ice hall, where lately motorhead, 50cent, muse and nine inch nails played)


That's brilliant news! I'm thrilled the band is doing so well!  One of those copies sold in Australia was to me Tongue I couldn't wait for the special edition. Embarrassed

You'll need to edit the f**k in that URL for it to work

I recommend checking out 'Headphone Dust' and 'The Gospel According To IEM', most of the stuff I've listened to so far has a similar flavour to that.


wow, i didn't know iem had a myspace. well it's not official so i guess that's why i haven't seen the link before.

sounds like: steven wilson in space. that's pretty damn accurate!

This boxset could be my favourite purchase of the year so far (). Some really, really funky distached psychedelic stuff on here as well as some really beautiful music. Loving this boxset so far, and the packaging is painfully brilliant, possibly more so than the Anesthetize Sp. Ed .


yeah i should really get the box set, it's even cheaper at the local shop than through headphone dust mail order. i haven't really heard any iem but i could bet my head that it's something i'll love.
