Porcupine Tree - Albumguide og diskusjon!

[Aak1]

Ehm.. "TBA" betyr "to be announced", altså albumet har ikke noe offentliggjort navn enda.

 

Jeg har forresten billett til den første annonserte konserten i TBA-turneen i høst, London 9. Oktober!

Fuck yeah! Det blir bra.

 

Jævlig bra! ^^

The new album - "The Incident"

 

Porcupine Tree are happy to announce the forthcoming release of their tenth studio album "The Incident". The record is set to be released via Roadrunner Records worldwide on 21st September, as a double CD.

 

The centre-piece is the title track, which takes up the whole of the first disc. The 55-minute work is described as “a slightly surreal song cycle about beginnings and endings and the sense that ‘after this, things will never be the same again’.”

 

The self-produced album is completed by four standalone compositions that developed out of band writing sessions last December - Flicker, Bonnie The Cat, Black Dahlia, and Remember Me Lover feature on a separate EP length disc to stress their independence from the song cycle.

 

Video footage of the band in the studio working on The Incident, as well as audio previews, will be available online soon. The band will tour extensively to promote the album from mid September onwards.

I came.

Viss nokon vil høyra ein annan song på 60 minutt, anbefaler eg norske Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness. Sånn, til alle skeptikarane på grunn av den 55 minutt lange songen. Dette kan bli sinnsjukt bra.

 

I andre nyheiter høyrde eg tidlegare idag på No-Man sitt nyaste album og det var veldig bra. Anbefaler det sterkt.

Light of Day, Day of Darkness var rå! Ligger på youtube.

Light of Day, Day of Darkness er muligens tidenes norske sang

 

Skal mye til for Porcupine Tree å slå den, men har ikke noe tvil om at The Incident (sangen) kommer til å være musikalsk nytelse hele veien gjennom!

[Zeph]

Fy faen!

QFT! Dette blir råbra!

[Benbjo]

Gleder meg evig mye til dette albumet. Faren er at fallhøyden er stor

[Zeph]

Om nokon kjem over ein stad der ein kan førehandsbestille den største og mest komplette utgåva av dette kan gje ein lyd!

[Speik]

Jeg liker utviklingen til PT. Albumene og konseptene har blitt større og mer ambisiøse de siste årene. The Incident kommer til å bli kriminelt bra. Gleder meg enda mer til konserten i høst!

Porcupine Tree Frontman Steven Wilson Talks About 'The Incident'

 

This fall's going to be a big one for progressive rockers Porcupine Tree. They'll be touring the states with Kings X, and return September 22 with their tenth studio offering, 'The Incident,' a double-CD that's perhaps the band's best record since 2002's 'In Absentia.' Subtitled 'After This, Things Will Never Be the Same Again,' frontman Steven Wilson says the record is, essentially, "a song cycle. It's 55 minutes long, and it has 14 sections, but it's all continuous. It's quite intense."

 

He started writing the new disc in September, and finished the mix in May. The record was a difficult one to write, coming, as it did, on the heels of Wilson's solo record, 'Insurgentes.'

 

"To be perfectly honest, I didn't even think I'd be able to write another record so quickly, because I literally came up with this solo album and I finished recording the solo album, and a week later, I was in the studio, trying to write the next Porcupine Tree record," he tells Noisecreep. "But very quickly, something came, and its one of those things were you cannot foresee that or rely on that. But I was very lucky. And I was able to call up the guys a few weeks later, and say, 'Look, I've got 30, 35 minutes of this thing called 'The Incident,' and I think it could be the basis for the new record.' And it just kind of grew from there."

 

What inspired 'The Incident,' initially, was a fatal car accident in the United Kingdom, Wilson's native stomping grounds. As he was driving passed the wreck, he got "a feeling, an impression" that he had come into contact, somehow, with the soul of the person who perished in the crash.

 

"Incident is a very kind of cold word," he says. "I don't know what they say here in America on the highway when there's been an accident, but in England, they put up on the signs 'Incident,' and then you realize, 'Ah f---, now I'm going to get stuck in a traffic jam.' But the incident that they're talking about, someone's died. This is a bit more than an incident. For everyone driving passed, rubbernecking, it's a momentary titillation. But obviously, for the people involved in the accident, it's a life-changing and potentially life-ending experience. So, I just had this little moment of empathy, and I felt a connection with... call it what you want, but a kind of sense that that person was with me at that moment, and that started the whole ball rolling for me."

 

Wilson took the concept, and started applying it to his own life, and the various "incidents" that have shaped who he is as a person. The break-ups, the career moves, the forgotten friendships, and even a séance he participated in as a youth. He started thinking about the media, "and the way people relate to the media and these incredibly tragic incidents, and of course, we all become more and more numb these days to media reportage."

 

'The Incident' features 14 tracks, including "The Blind House," "Octane Twisted," "I Drive the Hearse," "Circle of Manias," and the first single, "Time Flies." Wilson suggests the record be listened to as a whole, but knows that in the era of the iPod, that's just not going to happen.

 

"In a way, what we're doing here is very willful and self-indulgent," he says. "This record, more than any record before, is a record that you have to listen to as an album-length experience. People don't really listen to records that way anymore. Its very hard to get people to do that."

 

Hence, the very notion of an album single is confounding for Wilson.

 

"When I was writing 'The Incident,' I never thought of anything as a single, and I didn't really think it was an issue anyway, because who listens to radio nowadays," says Wilson. "Its always been the Achilles Heel of Porcupine Tree. We're not the kind of band you can get across in five minutes. Even taking out a portion of 'The Incident' and presenting that to people, is very unrepresentative. We're a band that, one minute we're like heavy metal, the next minute were like pop, the next minute we're ambient, and the next minute, we're progressive. So, how can you expect to encapsulate all those things anyway in a five minute video. So, by definition, anything you take out of context is just an aspect, so people, they can't get a good feel for the band unless they listen to the whole record."

Hvorfor er jeg ikke overrasket..
