The Porcupine Tree Thread

I cracked and acquired it through "nefarious" means).

How did you do that? I've been trying with no success.

I'm personally aching to hear the 5.1 dvd-a version of mellotron scratch. The end of that song in surround = orgasm. Pre-ordered long ago.

Newsgroups are a wonderful resource for many things. That's all I'll say.


Also, someone should FED-ex me their $200 headphones so I can see what I'm missing. I'm sure that if I could experience first hand the awesomeness I might be a bit less reluctant to drop such a hefty sum on them.

heh, i seem to be the only one who doesnt appreciate listening to music with headphones at all. it just annoys me...

@saut: Just go to a store where they let you sample some headphones. There's a local one near my uni and they have a bunch of high-quality studio cans out for your hearing pleasure, with the option of bringing some CDs in. Just take in Still Life or something and start to understand how much more it can kick your ass on better gear.

@R0l0: 'Studio' or 'stereo monitor' headphones are pretty much designed to give you a flat response over the frequency spectrum. They're designed for you to be able to objectively hear a piece of music, or a sound (depends what you're doin with em) by giving you a sound that sounds the most true to the signal they are receiving, instead of colouring them with their own sound as most headphones tend to. Best example is how all those low-end pieces of crap are like 'oh yeah man, turbo-bass ultimate reflex system, buy me now'. The monitor cans don't pump bass or anything else... they just give you a representation of the signal that's hitting them. Not sure how well they work in terms of actually enjoying music, but I'm thinking they can't be too bad. I need to get myself a pair because I have to mix on a shitty Tascam DM system at uni.

I guess my Ipod headphoes don't make the grade haha.

Personally I enjoy putting on a cd and lying on my bed listening to it rather loudly, how i got to love Still Life and In absentia (although a really hate wedding nails right now). Headphones are good when i want to dissapear.

hehe, ipod headphones are alright when you're travelling or something. I presume that's what most folks use the thing for anyway... listening on the move (and propagating piracy). When you're at home though, you want some aural lovin'.

I actually love Trey Parker. Listening to Blackwater Park with good studio headphones is nice so many parts I notice for the first time listening to it.

I am intersted in an "In Absentia" shirt any place where I can get one. I have been to the PT site but they don't seem to carry any shirts. I am going to the concert in a month so maybe there. Do you think they will have an Absentia shirt?

Don't actually know if its official though....google maybe?

 

[shark22]

Yeah thanks. I guess I wouldn't be able to get one with the album cover?

 

[R0l0]

I wonder if they'll be selling shirts on the tour... a deadwing shirt might be tempting to buy.

Here's a PT article that I scanned from the latest G1Mag:

[EDIT: I reduced the size of each of the files, but I still don't know how to host them anywhere, so I just used yousendit]

 

[deliverance]

i think it's safe to say there are as many PT threads on the first 5 pages as there are opeth threads.

Saving them as PNG instead of BMP would make them quite a bit smaller with no quality loss.

 

[The Dude]

WHO CARES?

Enough about Porcupine Tree already, THEY SUCK!


AAAARRGH!

 

[narcoleptic haze]

Here's a nice shirt. It's not from In Absentia but still pretty cool. And cheap too.
