Glad you liked it, Dave. I'm looking forward to seeing them live again.

Roger Waters - Amused to Death. I'm not a huge Pink Floyd fan so I never checked out Roger Waters' solo stuff, but this record is incredible. It was mixed using a technology that makes sound come from all around you, even with a two channel system. Check out the title track. At the 6:38 point, an elderly man is speaking. Tell me where you hear his voice coming from.

Amused by Death is a great album. I'll have to listen to it again to check out the elderly man's voice.

100% agree, this is a fantastic album with exceptional sound quality. It was mixed using QSound.

WHAT???!!! Just researched this, you are right - this info just turned 2021 from being a horrible year to a good one

Listening to the new single that was just released from it, "Harridan"... Classic PT!

They are also planning on touring.

For anyone not familiar with Porcupine Tree, these are some of the finest musicians on this planet. Easily equivalent to Rush IMO...

Doug MacLeod on Black and Tan, Vol. 3 - $50 Wig
Otzeki - Falling Out (EP - 2016)

Porcupine Tree: Arriving Somewhere But Not Here



I have a 5.1 Blu Ray rip of this concert and it's done really well. The bass is mixed a little hot, but I'm not complaining!

Yup. I was surprised too! I also agree with your assessment of their talent. They're all very good musicians, and their drummer in particular is a very special talent. Just a really good band all around.

Well, I just picked up Porcupine Tree's Signify and The Incident on vinyl. Finished cleaning and ready to give them a spin over the next day or two.

What would you consider their best album(s)?
