Following the release of the acclaimed Fear of a Blank Planet album comes this mini album (29 minutes of music) containing four lengthy tracks written during the same sessions, completed over the Summer, and now presented as a cohesive self contained PT work in their own right. The title track is an instrumental featuring Robert Fripp on lead guitar, and the whole EP moves through the full PT spectrum of atmospheric ambience, melodic hooks, and crushing riffs.

This Peaceville edition of Nil Recurring contains the same material as the Transmission version, but comes packaged in a super jewel case with textured slipcase, instead of the fold out digipack.

PT's trippy classic now remastered and repackaged in a beautiful fold out digipack. A single instrumental composition from 1992/93 spread over 4 phases and lasting collectively for over an hour, this is PT's entry in the ambient trance genre popularised by artists like the Orb and became a big hit in the ambient club scene of the early 90's when it was originally issued as two 12 inch singles. Combines trance rhythms with more typical PT textures and guitar solos. There is no bonus material on the reissue, but the piece has been given a third and definitive remix, and the artwork has been completely revamped with new Lasse Hoile images.

Long unavailable debut PT album now remastered and repackaged in a beautiful fold out digipack. On the Sunday of Life was recorded by Steven Wilson solo and originally released as a double LP.

The seeds of the future PT sound are also in evidence in tracks such as It Will Rain for a Million Years and the classic Radioactive Toy.

A newly remastered 2 CD edition of the band's 4th studio album from 1996. Considered to be one of their finest works, Signify is a flawless blend of psychedelia, heavy rock, melancholic pop, ambience and experimentation, and now sounds and looks better than ever.

PT's 1995 album is regarded by many fans as their crafted progressive rock masterpiece. Spanning the period when the band went from being SW's solo project to a full band the album centres around the two halves of the 35 minute title track, an incredible journey full of melancholic vocals, long liquid solos, spacious textures and dynamic instrumental passages. This special edition is expanded into an epic double CD with the original album as conceived for vinyl on CD1 (real drums replacing the sampled drums on two of the tracks). CD2 contains an alternate version of the title track containing music that was eventually cut from the final album version as well as different lyrics, and EP tracks Stars Die and the 21 minute Moonloop on CD2. These three bonus tracks alone run to over an hour of extra music.New edition on Snapper Music in fold out

A 5.1 surround sound mix of Porcupine Tree's In Absentia by multi-grammy award winning producer and surround specialist Elliot Scheiner. The disc contains a high resolution audio surround version for playing on dedicated DVD-A players, a standard resolution surround version which can be played on any DVD player, and the original stereo mix.

Please note that there are three audio playback options on this DVDA, but that in order to access the high resolution audio layer a dedicated DVD audio player is required.

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.
