Porcupine Tree - Closure / Continuation (5.1/Dolby Atmos) 24-Jun-2022

[Sixtyten]

Again - I forget my mother's sage advice.

 

[Karonte]

Surround mix only in a (fairly) expensive box

Not released until June 24th!

It's not a crowdfunding but... It's a crowdfunding.

According to a post at Hoffman's:

The picture of the cassette and CD on the album pre-order shows the running times for the album tracks:

1. 8.07 (Harridan)
2. 4.43
3. 5.40
4. 8.22
5. 7.02
6. 4.26
7. 9.40

So, if the tracks have lengths, surely this means they are already recorded, but the album's not out until next June

Damn, it's a little expensive.
Looks like I'll need to get rid of my wallet since there's no need for it anymore.

As of now, Townsend Music has the deluxe set still in stock here:

Townsend Music Online Record Store - Vinyl, CDs, Cassettes and Merch - Porcupine Tree - Closure / Continuation Deluxe CD Boxset

Argh... is the deluxe CD gonna hit a US retailer?!

 

[JediJoker]

The deluxe box set is already sold out!
WTF?!?!

Only from Burning Shed. Still available from Townsend Music.

If TFB is any indication, then I don't think so. Pretty sure that deluxe was available from Europe only.

Less super expensive shipping to the US from the PT store, ATM.

At least TFB had a standalone Blu-ray available in North America (got mine from Amazon.ca, but it was shipped from the US). The C/C Blu-ray is only available in the deluxe box set.

Townsend Music wants $33 to ship it to Texas. No thanks.

The new song is a Gavin Harrison showpiece. Just absurd drumming. I know SW has serious mixing/mastering bona fides, but I can't figure out why the vocals are so low in the mix. That has to be by choice.

Does this mean Gavin will not be on the Pineapple Thief tour?

I'm a little disappointed. It's been a couple of releases where the Blu-ray only comes in the deluxe box set/book (LTE3, the latest Yes and now this).

Vocals sound normal, in streaming Atmos, on my system. Shipping is less expensive on the PT site...

The North American leg of the The Pineapple Thief tour is during Spring 2022 and the European leg of the Porcupine Tree is during Autumn 2022

Townsend Music hosts the official PT store. One and the same.

Yep. "TMStor.es" is Townsend Music.

Yep. "TMStor.es" is Townsend Music.

And the shipping is cheaper...

And the shipping is cheaper...

But you were replying to someone complaining about shipping from Townsend Music, not Burning Shed, so... The shipping is the same.

I saved more than $10. Not the same...
