New Porcupine Tree Unveiled 2007-02-03 by BlindWriting | 18 Comments | British prog band Porcupine Tree have posted the song list from their new album, Fear of a Blank Planet, on their official site. The track listing is as follows:
1. Fear of a Blank Planet (7:28)
2. My Ashes (5:07)
3. Anesthetize (17:42)
4. Sentimental (5:26)
5. Way Out of Here (7:37)
6. Sleep Together (7:28)
Additionally, SeaOfTranquility.org reports that the band has held listening parties for the album in New York and in London. The music site reports:
"Joining a small band of Media representatives from New York City, our own Ken Pierce was priveleged to listen to the new Porcupine Tree CD; a crunching Progressive Rock epic entitled Fear Of A Blank Planet. The album will hit the streets on April 24, 2007 and should surprise some of his fans. Founder and creative Mastermind Steven Wilson was present at the listening and told the group that the album was one long contiguous piece of music. It runs approximately fifty minutes in length, and while segmented with various movements, it still becomes part of the larger whole. Wilson mused that he opted against making the whole thing one 80 minute song and went with 50 just like in the good old days of Prog music.
We enjoyed the 5.1 mix of the recording in one of the rooms of Legacy Studios and were treated to the piece in surround sound as well. It is a very intense piece of music at times with thundering drums and riffs that will impress any guitar player and yet when it slows down it is passionate and sublte in the truest sense. I asked Wilson if he felt that this was among the heaviest material he has delivered to date and he replied "yes, it might very well be". The long time fans of the Progressive Rock genius will not be disappointed in the album for while it is heavier than they might expect there is also a multitude of musical valleys and time signature changes that they have come to appreciate over the course of the bands career.
From here, Wilson would head off to Abbey Road studios to repeat the listening process over there. He joked when we began and said "what we are going to hear, no what YOU are going to hear, since I have been doing this for three months aleady, is the new recording, and I will come back when its done". When Wilson returned to the studio room he was met with applause and whistles and he cracked a casual smile and politely thanked us for being part of the evening. We were not provided with any track-listing information or the titles for the segments under the piece, but regardless I look forward to this albums release and feel it will snare an even larger audience for this well-deserving band."

wow... looks like it's gonna be good. i'm definitely getting this but april seems so far away.....
| | |
I can't wait! This sounds like it's going to be one of this year's best releases.
| | |
YES!
This will look to be fantastic.....
| | |
whew that one song's nearly 18 minutes, hope they can pull that off without repeating the same riffs for five minutes.
| | |
Never heard of these guys.
Any good?
| | |
Wow, I cant freaking wait for this. Porcupine Tree are unbelievable in terms of progressive metal and tranquility all mixed into one. Im certain this concept album will kick ass. Their older stuff is blah (all of you Porcupine Trees nuts out there, relax and take it easy on that comment) but their last two albums are amazing in terms of quality and musicianship.
| | |
it's going to be boring
| | |
This looks very interesting. I'm with the wizard on PT's older stuff (sorry, spacey psychedelia doesn't do it for me), and I reckon Deadwing's their best work, so a new, heavier PT album is pretty exciting.
| | |
Deadwing was fantastic, this'll probably be a highlight album of this year for me.

It is a very intense piece of music at times with thundering drums and riffs that will impress any guitar player and yet when it slows down it is passionate and sublte in the truest sense.

| | |
2 Words:

| | |

Well. Arriving Somewhere But Not Here was excellent. I keep my hopes high.
| | |
Yay! More Porcupine Tree!
| | |
