Russia On Ice is just.......wow. I actually hadn't set out on buying any PT because I didn't think I'd be able to finding anything, but I was browsing through FYE and there it was..... Just wait until you get Stupid Dream, it's better than allllll of those. Stupid Dream...excellent album! So many great songs on that CD. It was my first PT purchase and it did take a little time to get into but it was well worth the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnus-1001001 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Steve said After drown with me *from memory* "its great to back home! We find london audiences to be more familiar with our early stuff . We normally get dazzled looks if we do anything pre In absentia." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalorian Hunter Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Weren't they on fire last night, cyg? I have never, ever seen SW give such a rip-roaring performance. His voice died because he put so much energy, and anger, into his vocals. I never thought I'd see him rocking-out, doubled-over and headbanging either. Trust me guys, if the London show was as good as Holland, we are going to have DVD of the century in our hands. Probably the best gig I've ever been to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to see what they can come up with with a new album aswell. Nil Recurring seems like a continuation of FoaBP, so a continuation on NR would be fantastic. Maybe that kind of music with more electronic stuff? Thankfully, this tour has got me fully into In Absentia. I really can't believe I disliked this album before.

How bad did that mess things up? Its diffrent in America, public transportation is vertually nil (other than big cities) everyone drives everywhere.

The track listing for the album is: 1. Harmony Korine 2. Abandoner 3. Salvaging 4. Veneno Para Las Hadas 5. No Twilight Within The Courts Of The Sun 6. Significant Other 7. Only Child 8. Twilight Coda 9. Get All You Deserve 10.

The deluxe 2 CD/DVDA book version on SW's own label is now sold out on pre-order, but there are about 100 copies left of the 4x10 inch vinyl book version - head over to www.insurgentes.org if you would like to pick up one of these remaining copies. Both versions of the special edition are still on target to ship in late November. 3 solo albums over the next few years!!! Awesome!!!!!! And look at the guest musicians on this, Tony Levin!!!!!!!! Jordan Rudess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only thing that gets me is I hope that Feburary 10th release date is not the U.K only.........If it is looks like Im importing this sucker.

vaportrail Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 (edited) Yes, I was super excited to see Clodagh Simmonds involved, can't wait to hear her contribution. Knew it was only a matter of time before he got Papa Bear on one of his albums. Next in line is Bruford Copies should start shipping soon, can't wait to get that book!

vaportrail Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Yes, Steven's already said they've written about 40 minutes of material for a new PT album, so definitely expect a new one next year. One thing of note he mentioned about the material is that as of right now it's pretty devoid of the metal-type guitars, and has more of a classical sound. Love it!
