YouTwo Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I just got an email that made it sound like In Absentia is shipping next week as well. I thought that was coming in March. EHughes527 and DoublesGuy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rransomm Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Just got email confirmation that Deadwing has shipped. Happy Valentine's Day, me! After all these years, I celebrate you now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet In Absentia orders start shipping out next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin played drums on his first solo album...on TRTRTS & H.C.E. it's Marco Minnemann, who is a freaking beast! I love Gavin's drumming but kudos to Marco Minnemann, he's incredible! Agreed! Tracks like Routine and Home Invasion, terrific drumming. I love the HCE album, even the more atmospheric stuff like Perfect Life sounds bloody terrific in surround.

filthyrich Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Deadwing showed today. Clear vinyl looks pretty awesome. Packaging is nice too... Unfortunately no booklet of any kind and no code. Now, I have no idea if the original had a booklet.... And TBH the CD version doesn't offer much of anything in the booklet beyond collage art.... But I guess I was just assuming it would have one. (Ditto on a download code... Considering the new mastering has better DR levels than the original CD, I was planning to use the new version as my go-to digital.) Actual sound quality is quite good. Lots of dynamics. You need to crank it to really make the heavy parts really move. Vinyl was dead-quiet except for a little surface noise on Side C. (I didn't clean, just a few sweeps of the anti-static brush.) What can I say? Vinyl from SW never disappoints, and while this isn't my personal favorite PT record, it's a solid listen throughout. (And about $300 cheaper than an original!)

DoublesGuy Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 If anyone in Canada is looking for the limited editions, here are some pre-order links from amazon.ca https://www.amazon.ca/Deadwing-Vinyl-Porcupine-Tree/dp/B0794QW4S1/ref=pd_sbs_15_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=M5HX9ZVPVBTXYRWXQ0PT https://www.amazon.ca/Absentia-Vinyl-Porcupine-Tree/dp/B0794NXCPV/ref=pd_sbs_15_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=M0B64ADN3290CD6J89W3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping mine is at my door when I get home today. I didn't get the shipping that included tracking so I have no idea if it'll be there today or not. And I suppose In Absentia POs will probably start shipping sometime next week. Looking forward to that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballisticgoat Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Got Deadwing yesterday, and listening to it now. It sounds amazing other than some popping, I think i need to give it a good cleaning. These recent remasters have been great though. Can anyone tell me about the quality of The Incident pressings? It's one of the few I want, but haven't bought yet. Has there been talk of a remaster of that at all? I know the original is still easy to find, but a remaster might be nice.

EHughes527 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Deadwing on black vinyl from Burning Shed looks to have sold out before the clear.

Stress On The Sky Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Might be of interest to some of you who aren't frequenting the RSD 2018 thread* the distributor Fab.ca does now have a listing for self titled Bass Communion 2LP on it which I would assume is a repress of the 1998 self titled album as it would be the 20th anniversary. May be relevant to you SW collectors. *to be fair it is normally an annual shit-show The Vool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesecrets0308 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 My clear copy of Deadwing sounded great except for pops and crackles on Lazarus at the end of Side A, other than that it was noise-free throughout. EHughes527 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouTwo Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Does Burning Shed actually send out an email when stuff ships? It looks like on Discogs people have the white In Absentia but I haven't gotten any kind of shipping email yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Gogh Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 My clear copy of Deadwing arrived last week, sounds great, and I'm so pleased to finally own it. Anyone got digital versions of So Called Friend and Half-Light from Deadwing? Love them and would like to listen to them elsewhere! Half-Light is especially good...

I just received this mail half an hour ago: Quote Hi Thanks for your oder for In Absentia on vinyl. The album is released this coming Friday (9th March). Due to bad weather last week we lost two days of packing/shipping. We are aiming to post any remaining "Rest of World" orders today (that is, anything outside Europe). We will also post as many European orders as possible today and tomorrow. UK orders will start shipping from Tuesday and we are aiming to have all preorders shipped by Wednesday (as usual).

thesecrets0308 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 got the same update email (god bless burning shed for actually keeping their customers updated on order status btw... companies like sandbag could learn a valuable lesson from them...). haven't gotten shipping notification yet but not sweating it.
