You're only half-right, I'm afraid. Anesthetize is absolutely beautiful, to be sure, but My Ashes is an incredible track too, IMO. Wink
 
Seriously, though, FoaBP is one of the most dividing albums they've ever done. I, for one, loved it from day one, and I don't see what the fuss is all about.

Yeah, Lasse's PT work is well worth the money... i just don't have it.  My favorite are probably The Incident photographs. Very creepy, dark, and original.

I was thinking about getting the Stupid Dream poster, but 33 pounds posted is way too much for me to pay for a poster.

From MySpace:





There’s a fantastic opportunity to own some original artwork by the man who has played such a part in defining PT’s visual identity and presence over the years. Lasse Hoile has several items for sale via his website.

There are only 20 posters available (including a few incredible value poster sets that gets you Halo, Stupid Dream and Mother And Child image that was taken during the Deadwing photo sessions.









In addition to the posters and the few poster sets, there are also some extremely rare original items for purchase including a signed and framed edition of one print of an image taken during The Incident photoshoot but which was never used.












Of course low grade thumbnails don't really do the work justice so check out Lasse’s store for more details of this unique offer

Great to hear Gavin doing well again - definitely a deserved award for one of the best drummers ever.

Listening to no-man's Schoolyard Ghosts right now. Truenorth has to be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard; simply stunning.

Gavin is the BEST MODERN PROG DRUMMER AGAIN!
 
6/5/2010

Gavin Harrison at Number 1.

Congratulations to Gavin on being voted Number 1 Progressive Rock Drummer in the 2010 readers poll of Modern Drummer magazine. Just in case you didn’t know, Modern Drummer is the world's biggest and longest running drum magazine and this is the fourth time in a row that Gavin has won this award. Gavin says “I’d like to thank everyone who voted for me.”
 
 
He very much deserves it. Keep rocking Gav! Thumbs Up Rawks

Spookily just recieved On the Sunday of Life yesterday and has recieved only 1 play so far.

I suppose the tracks previously mentioned, - eg Radioactive Toy, Nine Cats, It will rain.... are the ones that hit you straight away (probably from reading about them before), but will be able to give a better judgement after a few more plays.

^ If it's just a standard reissue, even in 5.1, I probably won't buy it.   I've been spending too much on music lately anyhow.

Umm.. you got me there. Instrumental versions? Alternate cuts of FOABP material? If so, I'd be forced to buy it, of course LOLEmbarrassed 

But I suspect its probably just a standard reprinting.

^ I just checked Amazon again, and it now just says it's a reissue of "Nil Recurring"-June 27th (no mention of the title Exorcism).

I was searching around on Amazon.com for PT merch, and I ran across a CD called "Exorcism--Porcupine Tree." hmmm...  It has the Nil Recurring cover and everything, and it says that it is up for preorder and to be released, I think, on June 14, 2010.  Could this be the reissued Nil Recurring??

By the way, I can't find it anymore on Amazon... pretty strange.

Is it an actual reissue or just a reprinting because they are out of stock?  Just curious.

Yes. If they reissue it with a bunch of new tracks, I'll be slightly peeved. I've already got NR in a super jewel case CD.
