Show 128 - "PT pt 2"
Sunday, 5/8 and Monday, 5/9
Let's finish the profile of Porcupine Tree started in ealy April. This time we will hear all of In Absentia, Deadwing, and Fear of A Blank Planet. "Fear" is brand new, and is quite exciting musically, but quite negative lyrically. The first tune will really make you think. On the long track Anesthesize, you'll hear about a minute of Alex Lifeson and later on on Way Out of Here you'll hear Robert Fripp. The Tree is touring presently, catch them if you can..... I was going to write more, but I got caught up watching them live on you tube and then a bunch of Mexican kids doing Iron Maiden.... This will be last of the artist spotilights for awhile. Look for about of month of full CD's, then some fun themes and artists. In Abstentia (2002) 1. Blackest Eyes (4:23) 2. Trains (5:56) 3. Lips of Ashes (4:39) 4. The Sound of Muzak (4:59) 5. Gravity Eyelids (7:56) 6. Wedding Nails (6:33) 7. Prodigal (5:32) 8. .3 (5:25) 9. The Creator Has a Mastertape (5:21) 10. Heartattack in a Layby (4:15) 11. Strip the Soul (7:21) 12. Collapse the Light Into Earth (5:52) Deadwing (2005) 1. Deadwing (9:46) 2. Shallow (4:17) 3. Lazarus (4:18) 4. Halo (4:38) 5. Arriving Somewhere But Not Here (12:02) 6. Mellotron Scratch (6:56) 7. Open Car (3:46) 8. The Start Of Something Beautiful (7:39) 9. Glass Arm Shattering (6:12) Fear Of A Blank Planet (2007) 1. Fear of a Blank Planet (7:28) 2. My Ashes (5:07) 3. Anesthetize (17:42) 4.

Re: Show 128 - "PT pt 2"
Id like to Add that "In Absensia" it the finest DVD-Audio Recording in my collection.
This means it is mixed a 6 separate Channels surrounding you with an Audio event. The Production in 5.1 is Top Rate and An Album of theYear in Audiofile Circles... Deadwing , a less creative outing, is also stunning as a 5.1 recording.........try it, youll like it SHARCNORRIS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SUPPLYING 5.1 DECODING EQUIPMENT OR SCRAPPING UP THE LISTENER OFF THE FLOOR |
Re: Show 128 - "PT pt 2"
so, seeing that I'm an PT noob, which album would you recommend? I watched the video for Fear of a Blank Planet, and man, that's a dark song.
now I'm watching Blackest Eyes, and it's great. I tend to like a bit of melody in my songs, so, let me know which I should get on iTunes. I'm thinking I'll like these guys a lot. |

I'd start with one of the three in parentheses. I'm sure many others can share more ideas... Sharc always the sound king :iheartyou |
Re: Show 128 - "PT pt 2"
Yeah, Rog, it's really hard to say to someone, try this PTree album because they do tend to switch their sound a lot. Basically, I'd ignore anything before Stupid Dream; they were very experimental and self indulgent up to that point.
My preferences are for the last three...In Absentia, Deadwing and Fear... ...you could try listening to Rick's show and seeing what strikes your fancy..:-)) |
Re: Show 128 - "PT pt 2"
Usually a good idea PFD but I'm only doing the last three this week....
either way we're sparating man from money again...love it! |
Re: Show 128 - "PT pt 2"
thanks guys. I'll probably get In Absentia, the previews on iTunes were good, and several of the youtube video that I liked were from that album.
looking forward to some new music! |
Re: Show 128 - "PT pt 2"
Roger....the ptree website is sampling bits from the entire album.
