does swilson need a solo album? I was under the impression he wrote everything already  |
I too am a little surprised he's doing a solo album, given that he writes most if not all the PT tunes, has the side project No Man, AND does Blackfield, which I thought was his outlet for the more pop oriented side. Sometimes when artists get too spread out like that, the main band suffers. I hope he doesn't spread it too thin.....

eh, I sort of understand wanting to have another outlet for different styles of music, perhaps he just ran out of clever names to put it out under

Don't forget also the re-release of Recordings
and the 2LP vinyl version of Lightbulb Sun at some stage (can't wait for that!)
Anyone got any idea if Recordings will get the vinyl treatment as well?

It is April 21! Lightbulb Sun is supposed to be available! Not at my internet retailers. How much longer do I have to wait?! Has anyone bought the new edition yet? I need to know that it actually exists. ARRGGH

All those who pre-ordered it should have it by now. Sounds wonderful. Commercially, I don't think it is available until some time in May. Be patient.

Thanks, rushaholic. I have been patient since I bought In Abstentia. I bought it on a whim in 2002 from seeing reviews on Amazon. I wasn't into my prog rebirth yet. I loved it and thought I should look at their back catalog. LS and SD were the natural choices. But they weren't available. Out of print. Six freaking years later I have one but not the other. Can he draw it out a little longer?

You should be able to get Lightbulb Sun from Burning Shed but it will be a considerably more expensive than waiting for Amazon etc to get it.
To be honest though you should have preordered since the first 3000 orders at Burning Shed came with a free bonus CD which has Novak and an instrumental version of Buying New Soul on it.

Just saw it will be available on Amazon in the US on May 27. I don't use them much anymore so I wasn't looking at them. Oh, well. What's another month.

I just bought the re-issue of LS today at my local record shop. I've only waited three years for it so not nearly as long as you, Johnobvious, but the wait felt long enough!
The sound on this CD is great as could be expected, of course. Over the years I've heard nearly all of the songs on it on live recordings and over at YouTube but there were four tracks I heard for the first time today. Feel So Low was one of them and I already frigging love that track, a true PT gem...

Thanks, Fritha. Glad to know it does indeed exist. Just like the new Magenta, looks like the states has to wait quite a bit longer than Europe to get it. But I got the new Magenta yesterday so I'm pretty darn happy anyway.
