In Absentia (Vinyl) - By: Porcupine Tree - Model Number: TRANSM232LP

Description

NEW TRANSMISSION EDITION OF THE ICONIC 2002 ALBUM BY THE BRITISH LEGENDS OF
EXPERIMENTAL ROCK
Having recently announced that Snapper Music will be representing Porcupine Tree™s Transmission
label worldwide, new CD & LP reissues of the band™s extensive catalogue will roll out throughout
2021.
˜In Absentia™ was Porcupine Tree™s seventh studio album, first released in 2002, & was the first in a run of three albums that for many represent the pinnacle of the band's artistic achievements. Not many albums can claim to have created a new genre, but with its fusion of metal, progressive rock, ambient textures, & acoustic singer-songwriter styled material, it became something of a blueprint for a generation of bands to come. It was also something of a breakthrough for the band, eventually going on to sell three times more than the band™s previous releases. ˜In Absentia™ features many of Porcupine Tree™s most beloved songs, including "Trains", "The Sound of Muzak" & "Blackest Eyes".
While not a formal concept album, many of the songs have common themes related to serial killers, youthful innocence gone wrong, & observations of the modern world, setting a template for many of songwriter Steven Wilson's future songs.
Porcupine Tree released their last album, ˜The Incident™, in 2009, marking another step forward in the incredible journey of the band that began as a solo studio project created by Steven Wilson in the late eighties to a multi grammy nominated act & one of the world™s most revered live bands, selling out arenas across the globe & wowing fans with their incredible performances.
This new 2LP Transmission 2021 reissue of ˜In Absentia™ is presented in a gatefold sleeve & remains faithful to the original artwork.
