Subject: Porcupine Tree spring tour
Posted by: Porcupine Tree spring tour by the_reverend
on Mar 1,2007 8:18am | Porcupine Tree, renowned in rock music for their dense, cinematic albums, have completed their best and boldest work to date: Fear of a Blank Planet, out April 24 on Atlantic Records. In support of the album, the band will embark on a North American tour starting May 8th in Seattle. [see dates below]
The frenetic, fingerpicked opening guitar riff delivers listeners into a 51-minute masterpiece of a record, modeled, in lead singer Steven Wilson’s words, “on those great old LP albums of the 70s.” It’s a starkly beautiful elegy on the numbness, apathy, and isolation brought about by the constant barrage of television, video games, advertising, prescription drugs, sex, and violence we face every day. The character in the title track muses that “In school I don't concentrate/ And sex is kinda fun/ But just another one/ Of all the empty ways/ Of using up a day.”
The six songs blend seamlessly one into the next, a symphonic arrangement of metal guitars, synthesizers, strings, fat basslines, and Gavin Harrison’s virtuosic drumming. Wilson’s earnest vocals alternate floating high above the instruments and ripping right into the heart of each track. Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson contributes a guitar solo on “Anesthetize,” while Robert Fripp (of King Crimson) provides the soundscapes on ‘Way Out of Here’
Wilson himself mixed and mastered the album, and the stereo and 5.1 versions will be available as a 2-disc limited special edition, as well as a DVD-Audio release.

I mean, I just wanted a setlist. jesus, how hard is that. I don't have the time too spend an entire evening trying to negotiate my way around some fancy website. Sorry.....
