I thought he would come out with a Special Edition of FOABP, but I guess he had this in mind instead. Should be interesting

Just under 30 minutes of music?! Sweet, now I can add that to the Fear of a Blank Planet album and make it one disc! Perfect!
Hopefully I can buy the actual disc itself, unless they decide to do the Store-download route. Either way, this WILL be mine! Thanks for the news-post! -Marc. ------------- I know what I like and I like what I know. I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose free will.

| There's a copy of Cheating the Polygraph floating around on bootleg's of the introducing FOABP tour...I always liked that song...felt it would've fit in quite nicely after Anesthetize. |

Awesome. I'm glad he's not suckering me into having to rebuy FoaBP for a few bonus tracks. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. " |

I knew it would be just a matter of time before we got new music from the "Fear" recording sessions. I own several underground recordings from the 2006 tour that includes the track "Cheating The Polygraph." I actually thought that this was "Nil Recurring" since it sounds very Frippy or Crimson like. I too, like others here, am excited that this will be an extension and completion to FOABP. As much as I love this album, and I do think it's brilliant, I have always thought that it could have been longer. I guess this will fill in that absence. I'm really looking forward to this!

| This is very ironic as just this morning I was listening to FOABP on the way to work and thought to myself that the only reason I didn't like FOABP as much as Deadwing & In Absentia was because it was too short.... |

tracks
fear of a blank planet (7.28) my ashes (5.07) cheating the polygraph (7.10) anesthetize (17.46) sentimental (5.26) way out of here (7.37) sleep together (7.28) nil recurring (6.08) normal (7.09) what happens now? (8.23) Sweet! An "official" tracklisting that includes the new tracks! Now when I reburn the EP with the CD, I don't have to make a new tracklisting myself - I can just use this one! And going by these track times, the album as a whole will be 79:42 long! I don't know why they didnt release a longer album for this one, especially since they had two of those four songs already done... maybe they wanted to record the other two before releasing "Nil Recurring" and "Cheating The Polygraph". Thanks for that post, Tony! Interesting that the last two tracks were just recently recorded, and not during the rest of the sessions with the other 8 songs. At least they're all pretty lenghty songs! I can't wait for this EP even MORE now! -Marc. ------------- I know what I like and I like what I know.

| I've already placed a preorder for the FOABP Limited Edition, although I'm likely to also buy Nil Recurring in addition to this to ensure the record stays in good condition. |

The latest from the official PT site:08-08-2007Porcupine Tree release a new EP in
September called "Nil Recurring". It will feature 4 tracks (just under
30 minutes of music) that were written during the Fear of a Blank
Planet sessions, including the title track featuring Robert Fripp on
guitar, and "Cheating the Polygraph", which was premiered on the 2006
tour, but subsequently left off the Fear of a Blank Planet album. Kind of pisses me off here - I spend a crap load of money for the special edition FOTBP disc and now they are coming out with a definitive special edition. What a racket. Still, I am going to have to save up for it. Hey Steve - can't you just do this to begin with? |

This is why I knew not to buy anything but the regular edition of the album first, knowing there was still at LEAST one track they would still release (being "Nil Recurring").
I think because I already have the regular album that I might just get the EP of the new tracks because I don't have a need for any DVD-As (I don't have any of the other PT DVD-As except Stupid Dream, as it was re-released with both versions anyways). At least SW is giving those of us with the regular album the option of buying just the new tracks instead of shelling out for the whole album again WITH new tracks. I'll get the Definitive Edition if it has a regular CD stereo mix, but a 2-CD set like that will probably run about $25-30, I'm sure. -Marc. ------------- I know what I like and I like what I know.

I'll probably buy the EP and the vinyl. And I do say I love the EP preview, perhaps more than the FOABP preview!
