Porcupine Tree (Australian Tour Edition!!)

[phanan]

For the early stuff, there is a 2CD set called Stars Die that is a nice overview of the first part of their career.

There are no other PT compilations after that, however.

Yeah I have that set wishlisted on my amazon page. But it's still a greatest hits set! Isn't it better to get the albums?

 

[phanan]

Most definitely.

I must have misunderstood you when you said sampler albums.

 

[Zoots]

I meant one album (the best one I guess) from each era.

Btw, Glass Arm Shattering is gorgeous but what's the point of all this empty space in the second half if there is nothing hidden at the end other than a bonus track which comes later? Or am I missing something? lol

 

[phanan]

I guess it was just their way of separating the bonus track from the regular album. I agree it's a bit different. You'd think with all that space that the bonus track is hidden at the end of Glass Arm Shattering.

 

[Zoots]

Wow! Sky Moves Sideways reissue? I had no idea. Just saw it on amazon! lol

Yeah, it's gonna be either that... or Stupid Dream.... or In Absentia.... or... Blank Planet....

 

[phanan]

Oh, just pick one.

My new wallpaper...

I'm liking it. Don't recall seeing that pic before.

And I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but Steve Wilson has indicated on his website that Lightbulb Sun is finally going to be re-released as a 2CD remaster, much like Stupid Dream was. Supposedly around April.

I cannot wait for that. Hearing a song like Rest Will Flow newly remixed and remastered is going to be heavenly.

[Axver]

I got my tickets to Melbourne and Brisbane this morning.

Going to buy Sydney a bit later for logistical reasons.

 

[Axver]

And now I've got Sydney. All three gigs, rock the fuck on.

 

[phanan]

Nice.
