This new deluxe version of In Absentia provides an unrivalled insight into the context of the 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. The 100-page deluxe hardback book is filled with exclusive content, including photography by Lasse Hoile, Carl Glover, 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. This deluxe reissue of Porcupine Tree's best-loved album follows the release of Steven Wilson's fifth solo album, To The Bone, which soared into the UK Album Charts at #3 and #2 in the German album charts and led to a sold-out tour including 3 shows at London's Royal Albert Hall. Meanwhile Gavin Harrison is enjoying success touring the world with both King Crimson and The Pineapple Thief after performing on the latter's latest album Dissolution, keyboardist Richard Barbieri recently released a box set collection of pieces Variants, and Colin Edwin issued the latest studio album with his band O.R.k., titled Ramagehead, featuring Serj Tankian of System of a Down.Country/Region of Manufacture: ItalyMPN: KSCOPE548Release Year: 2020Tracks: Disc 11: Blackest Eyes2: Trains3: Lips of Ashes4: The Sound of Muzak5: Gravity Eyelids6: Wedding Nails7: Prodigal8: .39: The Creator Has a Mastertape10: Heartattack in a Layby11: Strip the Soul12: Collapse the Light Into EarthDisc 21: Collapse Intro2: Drown With Me3: Orchidia4: Chloroform5: Futile6: Meantime7: Blackest Eyes (Radio Edit)8: Trains (Radio Edit)9: Strip the Soul (Video Edit)Disc 31: Drown With Me2: Trains3: Imogen Slaughter4: Watching You Sleep5: The Creator Has a Mastertape6: Heartattack in a Layby7: Strip the Soul8: The Sound of Muzak9: Gravity Eyelids10: Enough11: Wedding Nails12: Blackest EyesDisc 41: The Making of in Absentia (Documentary Film)2: Blackest Eyes3: Trains4: Lips of Ashes5: The Sound of Muzak6: Gravity Eyelids7: Wedding Nails8: Prodigal9: .310: The Creator Has a Mastertape11: Heartattack in a Layby12: Strip the Soul13: Collapse the Light Into Earth14: Collapse Intro15: Drown With Me16: Orchidia17: Chloroform18: Futile19: Meantime20: Blackest Eyes (Radio Edit)21: Trains (Radio Edit)22: Strip the Soul (Video Edit)23: Blackest Eyes24: Trains25: Lips of Ashes26: The Sound of Muzak27: Gravity Eyelids28: Wedding Nails29: Prodigal30: .331: The Creator Has a Mastertape32: Heartattack in a Layby33: Strip the Soul34: Collapse the Light Into Earth35: Drown With Me36: Chloroform37: Futile Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
