^ 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)...
Hmm... what about the Nil Recurring reissue? Shouldn't that be out already? I remember hearing something about June 14...

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.

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.

ptkc123, if you go onto PTs homepage, you can listen to the tracks from Recordings on there. I can't wait to actually have them on CD though. I just lap up anything SW, lol.

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? |

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. |

That one's a tricky one... Imagine the guitar presence of SW, and the charisma and sound of Peter Gabriel, if that's possible. The vocals are all great, and the whole album has a political/racially charged background. It is worth pointing out that SW doesn't do any of the vocals, and it is still very much a Fish album, really with SW as a stand-in musician and writer. It's got some heavy, dark tracks (probably SW's first really heavy playing in a typical sense is on the first track) and some beautiful ballads too. Probably a 4 star album for me, but it has been growing A LOT lately. |

We Lost The Skyline is brilliant in my opinion. It's a fairly short gig, only half an hour or so, but you get beautiful acoustic interpretations of songs like Stars Die (my personal highlight of the CD), Waiting, Trains, Lazarus, etc. It's a real credit to Steven Wilson's talent that the songs still sound amazing when they're stripped of all layers of production.

This is very good news! Coheed are quite big in the US, right? This should hopefully expose PT to more fans. Shame the two bands aren't playing near your area.

Yeah, Coheed have been steadily building a pretty big fanbase here (the US) ever since their 3rd album, Good Apollo... Volume I, a very good album IMO. Their albums after this one have been sort of let-downs for me, but their still a great band... a lot of pop, a little metal, and some prog elements (especially their first three albums).
Yeah, I really hope PT gain some more fans from the shows; it's be great to hear of their growing popularity here in the states

^I've got In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth 3, and Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star Volume One. They're pretty damn good albums. A bit of pop, a bit of prog metal, a bit of straight up prog. They sound like a mix of Rush, Led Zeppelin, and sometimes even the Mars Volta to me!
These shows should be great for building PTs fanbase in the USA. PT seem to be pretty big in Europe, and in the UK now (Anesthetize did very well in the European charts), but I think they still need to 'crack' the US.

Hey, those are my two favorite Coheed albums (the songs 'In Keeping Secrets' and the 'Willing Well' -suite are great slices of prog!)
 . I have a friend who once heard the Mars Volta and said they sounded just like Coheed... don't know about that...
If PT do manage to crack the US, wouldn't that be great!?
