Boo to the tour dates for the US. No love for the Southeast at all? Hopefully more dates will be announced.

Where've you been? Live shows are always more expensive here in europe

No they aren't.. and certainly not when it's a European band touring Europe. (or even more so when it's a UK band touring the UK

Spring of 2010 supposedly a more extensive North American Tour is to happen. The chance of them coming to MN however, are remote given recent (unexplainable) history (5, including 3 lengthly tours skipping, and instead playing 2 dates in Chicago after selling out The Fine Line in 2003 and 2005).

Porcupine Tree new album
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.

... Ok?

I wouldn't want to see Tool do it either..

That's what I said. Steven Wilson can make a 55 minute song interesting. Most of the time, Tool cannot.

Exactly what this guy said. I cannot wait. Seeing them in August!

Yes. I know. I'm wondering why in the world you mentioned a completely unrelated band that has never shown any intention of ever releasing a 55 minute song

Re: Porcupine Tree's new album "The Incident" (2009)

I love Porcupine Tree but this 55 minute song better be a song with coherence and not just a 55 minutes song to have a 55 minute song. I wonder if it will only be tracked as one song or if it will be chopped into portions. I've seen both done on records with long songs.

Maybe not 55 minutes, but if we're talking about long-form progressive music Tool and their long, drawn out songs come to mind. But whatever. I loved Arriving Somewhere, and I'm sure this will rock too.

Can't wait! Fear Of A Blanket has grown on me massively since it first came out. Still not sure if I want to go to their London show though, all seated for £35 or something...
