Snapper issue of a live in the studio recording made by Polish radio during the band's 2001 tour (the last with Chris Maitland on drums). Also in the studio during the broadcast were an invited audience of Polish fans who helped to make the atmosphere on the night and on this recording so special, and the band consider this to be one of their best performances. The CD runs over 79 minutes and features almost the entire performance remixed from 32 track master tapes into pristine sound quality that is far superior to the original on-air broadcast. The Warszawa CD comes in a beautiful digipack sleeve.

The 5.1 surround sound mix of the new Porcupine Tree album, once again mixed in collaboration with Grammy award winning producer / engineer Elliot Scheiner, and considered by SW to be the definitive way to experience the album.

The disc also includes a wealth of bonus features, including three additional tracks from the album sessions; Mother And Child Divided (instrumental), Revenant (instrumental) and Half Light, a short film on the making of the album, and photo galleries.

The DVD-A cannot be played on normal stereo CD players - it is designed to be played on DVD players and contains the 5.1 surround sound mix as well as a stereo mix.
