身为享富盛名的Porcupine Tree在2009年发了乐团最後一张专辑The Incident, 那麽若有似无,也那麽突留遗憾,听得不是很之其所以然,也有些那麽不够过瘾, 原本期待Incident下一张可以有着怎样的PT再次震惊四座, 首脑兼吉他手Steven Wilson就宣布将来自己不会以Porcupine Tree的身分继续活动, 我想要搞单飞了~~~掰掰。 我记得他在熄灯号声明中述说自己不会参与PT的活动, 至於要耍任性到甚麽时候,他表示後会有期,但我不确定, 反正他对即将展开的单飞搜肉行程感到兴奋的无以复加, 应该没有想过自己就是PT的灵魂人物兼最终决策人, 你这个决策人兼团长都说不会活动了, 其他三个人哪敢在Steven缺席的情况下造次找个人顶替他继续演出阿... 虽然这样说好像是Steven一个人任性大爆发想要告别旧爱, 鱼与熊掌不可兼得下自然选择光明灿烂的可塑未来, 但是其他人好像貌似都有别的活动和计画想要好好打点, 像是鼓手Gavin Harrison就跑去King Crimson深造,顺便办了一系列巡回讲座。 不过各位千万别忘了,Steven绝对不会就这样让PT淡出历史洪流, 还会时不时透过PT脸书宣传其他成元目前正在进行的计画和活动, 其中还包含我几个礼拜前看到,让人大感振奋的好消息: Porcupine Tree即将重新发行2002年, 将乐团再次拉向高峰的重磅作In Absentia的超豪华3CD+1BD重发! 里面当然有In Absentia的完整收录, 外加一片Steven最擅长但我至今没钱购买设备所以再怎麽大力标榜, 我也木耳听不出所以然的的5.1混音盘。 当然啦,各位都有所耳闻,只要是乐团发了张专辑, 他们为了这张专辑所投入的时间和心力之工程浩大绝非常人所能想像, 也往往会写出一大堆歌曲静待雀屏中选收入专辑中, 所以Steven这次也一并把创作过程中所有写出来的Demo和为收录歌曲, 一并当做豪华新手大礼包送给各位。 除此之外,一般的专辑中很少会将创作历程悉数告之, 中间的含辛茹苦通常只有音乐人自己知道, 但我超爱这种重发盘, 因为很大的机会乐团会多加几段话或一整个篇幅介绍专辑的创作背景。 当然啦听说In Absentia的重发也不例外, 也许可以看看Steven Wilson赞许新鼓手加入後怎样把乐团再次拉到新的高峰之类的~~~ 欲购请洽~https://porcupinetree.lnk.to/inabsentiadlx 阿不过我也有在露天某个优质卖场看到预购连结(非工商><)。各位可以参考参考>< ------------------------------------------------ The much anticipated deluxe edition of Porcupine Tree's iconic 2002 album 'In Absentia' will be released on 21st February. Pre-order here: https://porcupinetree.lnk.to/inabsentiadlx It's a 3CD/Blu-ray set featuring remastered stereo and 5.1 surround sound mixes, additional studio recordings, a disc of unreleased demos and a new feature length Lasse Hoile directed documentary, plus 100-page hardback book with exclusive content including photography by Lasse Hoile, Carl Glover (Aleph Studio), Richard Barbieri and John Blackford from the recording sessions, subsequent tour and more, extensive biographical liner notes and track-by-track commentary by Stephen Humphries, artwork drafts, and handwritten notes and lyrics. ———— In Absentia was Porcupine Tree’s seventh studio album, first released in 2002, the first in a run of three albums that for many represent the pinnacle of the band's artistic achievements. Not many albums can claim to have created a new genre, but with its fusion of metal, progressive rock, ambient textures, and acoustic singer-songwriter styled material, it became a blueprint for a generation of bands to come. It also represented a commercial breakthrough for the band, eventually going on to sell three times more than the band’s previous releases. In Absentia features many of Porcupine Tree’s most beloved songs, including Trains, The Sound of Muzak and Blackest Eyes. While not a formal concept album, many of the songs have common themes related to serial killers, youthful innocence gone wrong, and observations of the modern world, setting a template for many of songwriter Steven Wilson's future songs. This deluxe version of In Absentia provides an unrivalled insight into a seminal album. The first CD features Steven Wilson's 2017 remaster, which has considerably less compression and limiting for a more dynamic listening experience. The second CD includes all of the additional finished studio recordings the band made during the period. Collapse (intro), Drown With Me, Chloroform, and Meantime were all recorded during the album sessions in New York, while Futile and Orchidia come from the post-album promo-only Futile EP. Radio edits of Trains, Blackest Eyes and Strip the Soul are also included. The third CD comprises over 70 minutes of demos recorded at Wilson's home studio during the two years leading up to recording the album. Many of the selections differ from the final versions, with additional sections, alternate lyrics, and different arrangements. Also included are demos of three songs that were not subsequently recorded by the band, all released here for the first time: Imogen Slaughter, Watching You Sleep, and Enough. The Blu-ray features the new master of the original stereo mix, the 5.1 surround sound mix created in 2003 by legendary engineer Elliot Scheiner, plus the audio from the second CD, all in high resolution audio. It also boasts a new 109-minute feature length documentary film directed by Lasse Hoile, chronicling the making of the album with interviews and archive footage. --
