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

[Bill B]

I was going to just let it go because of the insane price + insane shipping, but with the rebate and shipping to Canada, the price is decent.

Same here but Import CDs had a price I could live with.... $62.18 total.
Now I will try to just forget about it for a while. June is a long way off.

Thanks for the heads-up sjcorne

I was waiting for a better price to Canada too. The importcds price was good enough that I went for it.

Patience grasshoppers,
All things will be revealed in time.

Apparently the track listing was leaked on one of the seller sites but has been removed once again:

View attachment 73319

I found this tracklist in a Spanish prog site :
CD1:
1. Harridan (8:07)
2. Of the New Day (4:43)
3. Rats Return (5:40)
4. Dignity (8:22)
5. Herd Culling (7:02)
6. Walk the Plank (4:26)
7. Chimera's Wreck (9:40)

CD2:
1.Population Three
2.Never Have
3.Love in the Past Tense

It's available the length of every song and I think it's funny the titles of the songs in CD 2 seem to form a sentence: Population Three Never Have Love In The Past Tense

In the same site we can read that Steven Wilson plays bass guitar and some keyboards in Harridan as well as the guitar and voice as usual.

It's mentionned here on the official Porcupine Tree page that Steven Wilson plays the bass on Harridan.

The 2CD/Blu-ray set is now available for pre-order at ImportCDs and DeepDiscount:
https://www.deepdiscount.com/closure-continuation/194399569726https://www.importcds.com/closure-continuation/194399569726

I'd jump on it but there is way too much time to wait - that would lead to me buying 1, maybe 2 extra copies due to forgetfulness!

I wouldn't trust them to actually stock sufficient copies of this.

Bull Moose has it listed too, however the price is significantly higher than Importcds.com.

I feel like Bull Moose used to be a lot more competitive, but lately they've trended higher

I know, it's sad. I would really like to support them, but I am not made of money and need to go where the best deal is.

They still seem to come through sometimes with the best price on smaller ticket items.

Although the price of the set with the Atmos mix is certainly not cheap, after listening to Harridan in Atmos on Apple music I'm definitely sold. In Atmos, this densely layered song really comes to life with way more bass and detail than is apparent in mere stereo, and Harrison's drumming is an absolute standout. There's tremendous, aggressive use of the height channels that really works. This definitely puts to rest any fears that Steven Wilson has left progressive music behind, and his surround mixing skills remain superb. If the rest of C/C sounds this good we're in for a treat. I hope the album title means we can look forward to more PT music in the future. By the way, how many bands is Gavin Harrison officially a member of now?

I recall three:
King Crimson
The Pineapple Thief
Porcupine Tree

Seems like Wilson's voice only gets better with age, great stuff.

Sounds more like Blackfield to me, than Porcupine Tree. Not necessarily a bad thing.

Here's the new single:

Here's the new single:

Definitely has a Blackfield vibe. Again, not a bad thing, just a thing that is.

I wonder if there's a concept element to this album, as there is a repeated line from "Harridan" in the form of, "time/hour of the almost rain."
