Limited Deluxe Hardback Earbook 7CD+BluRay

THE NEW 8 DISC DELUXE BOOK-SET AVILABLE VIA KSCOPE FEATURING NEW BRUCE SOORD REMASTERS AND DOLBY ATMOS MIXES

“This box set covers the first 5 albums and all the associated bonus material from when I started The Pineapple Thief in 1999 through to 2006. Opening the old sessions was like opening a very large window into my former self. This box set has taken a strange emotional toll. Where did the drive, the dedication, the obsession come from? Did I take it too far? How on earth did my girlfriend stick around through it all to eventually become my wife? Opening up the sessions I could remember how I would spend hours experimenting. I was like a child, everything seemed to be a new discovery. So here it is. The first epoch of The Pineapple Thief.” - Bruce Soord, 2022

Kscope are proud to present, the first in a series of deluxe book-sets cataloguing The Pineapple Thief’s tremendous output. The first instalment focuses on the bands’ humble beginnings with Abducting The Unicorn in 1999 through to Little Man in 2006.

The Pineapple Thief are one of the leading lights of Europe’s experimental rock domain, led by post-progressive mastermind Bruce Soord, the band have built an incredibly loyal fanbase over the past 23 years through extensive touring and consistently lauded recordings. Founder Bruce Soord started The Pineapple Thief as an outlet for his music back in 1999 and has since released over 15 studio albums.

For How Did We Find Our Way, all albums were meticulously remastered by Bruce over a period of months using painstaking methods to salvage early material thought lost. The blu-ray comes with all albums in Dolby Atmos & 5.1 Surround Sound quality for the first time which proved to be a huge undertaking for Bruce. In recalling the original stems to create new mixes, Bruce states “the Atmos mixes in this box set could be played in anything from a huge theatre with 100 speakers, in an enthusiasts home setup with perhaps 8 speakers through to something much more straightforward such as a soundbar or even streamed to headphones.” - a spectacular audio treat for fans.

At the centre of this package is a 64-page book featuring previously unseen, rare photographs from Bruce’s personal archive along with superb liner notes from Anil Prasad and interviews with Bruce.

This deluxe set features the following albums:

CD1: Abducted at Birth (1999)
CD2: One Three Seven (2002)
CD3: Variations on a Dream (2003)
CD4: 8 Days (2003)
CD5: 10 Stories Down (2004)
CD6: 8 Days Later (2004)
CD7: Little Man (2006)
Blu-ray: all albums + bonus tracks in Dolby Atmos & 5.1 Surround Sound – all mixed by Bruce Soord himself.

I love PT and don't have their early stuff (except the Gavin Harrison re-mix) so this is great news. How to pre-order?

Ordered from Burning Shed. Seems like a real bargain for the 8 Dolby Atmos on their own, never mind the 8 CDs as well.

Hopefully my order will be among the first 500 from Burning Shed to receive the signed print from Bruce Soord.

I'll have to wait for AMZ, Burning Shed shipping is $24 to USA, then another $40 or so to get it forwarded to me in C. America. (can't be shipped direct, it will never arrive!)

I play tested this release in the summer of 2022. As a long term Pineapple Thief fan this made me very happy indeed so it's great to see it finally getting out into the big wide world.

...I don't know where to start describing how good this is. Really.

The 5.1 mixes are exactly what we have come to expect from Bruce; they're immersive, discrete, tasteful and really enhance the listening experience. But this set is so, so much more than this...

Bruce's original recordings are so good that the sound quality and fidelty of even the first album are just jaw droppingly good and the dynamic range is huge. They honestly sound like they were recoded and produced in a top end studio just yesterday.

Its also a very pleasurable musical journey of discovery for both old and new Pineapple Thief fans: Starting off with how young Bruce's vocal sounded when he started. His early influences are evident in the song writing and early recordings (I get lots of Prog and edgier Brit Pop) and his enthusiasm and fearlessness pours out by the bucketload as his style developes.

And the amount and quality of "extras" is staggering; he could easily have made another high quality standalone album with the material that has never been included in another release; I can only think they were left off because the didn't "fit" rather than some kind of quality based reason. Just for clarity; this is in addition to the two "8 days" bonus dics, which are, of course, also included!

In short this collection is immense in every respect, and really, really should be in *any* surround enthusiast's collection.

I can only imagine how complicated was this project in terms of blu-ray authoring and navigation to fit all these albums with different audio options and bonus materials. We already see something similar in TPT Where We Stood blu-ray, but this new disc seems to be way more HUGE!

I didn't hesitate pre-ordering this. I did think a few minutes whether to collect it or have it delivered. We're lucky enough to live about 30 miles from Burningshed.

at € 98.99 not expensive

Not terribly.
But again, all I want are the multich files on the Blu-Ray.
I hate having to pay for things I don't want.

Ordered from the Shed. A no brainer. Would be a shame to miss out on such a splendid limited edition while waiting for a better price somewhere else. Now we know how Bruce spent his touring downtime during the pandemic.

Well, $96 out the door.

I had one negative buying experience with importCD(ordered TFF which subsequently did not come into stock for me) so I decided to take no chances on a limited edition and go with the Shed.

 

[PissedOffPeoN]

Meh. $113. importCD is $89, I think. Guess I'll go that route.

106.99 regular with fast its 113 ;o.

 

[PissedOffPeoN]

Does importcds or discount take out directly or do they wait for pre orders?

 

[JediJoker]

I hope this heralds more to come! Tightly Unwound and Someone Here Is Missing are my favorite TPT albums. Both would be great in surround.

Been home from work for 5 minutes. Ordered.
