If you haven't already we suggest that you follow the official Porcupine Tree twitter feed here.
The PT website will be the place to get major updates as always, but
the twitter feed will contain daily info and occasional messages from
the band, links to reviews, forthcoming release updates, and links to
photos and video footage from the road (a short clip of Gavin sound
checking yesterday in Cleveland has just been posted.) Info relating to
all other projects by the band will also be included.
The last major missing piece of the Porcupine Tree back catalogue is finally available again. "Recordings" was originally compiled in 2000 in order to help finance a tour, and although it is mainly a collection of leftover songs from Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun, the band and many fans consider it to be every bit as strong as these albums. It includes favourites such as Buying New Soul, Disappear, Ambulance Chasing, and the full 14 minute version of Even Less. Recordings will be reissued on 23rd August by KScope, faithful to the original edition, but in a digibook sleeve. It's available for pre-order at the PT Store now.
Congratulations go to Gavin and his book,
Rhythmic Designs , which took the Best in Show prize at the Summer
NAMM show held in Nashville recently!
PT’s upcoming gig in Israel is the subject of this
feature and “For all the apocalyptic clamor about the death of the
album, this is actually a very exciting time for recording artists”,
says SW in his latest column for Electronic Musician. Check out SW’s
thinking over
at EM. Finally speaking of albums, mention of the 180g vinyl
edition of In Absentia
mentioned recently, reminds us that Lasse Hoile has a few prints left
of the iconic cover over at
his site.
