Porcupine Tree - Fear Of A Blank Planet - VINYL LP
About this product
Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. Originally released in 2007, Fear Of A Blank Planet was Porcupine Tree's ninth studio album. It was the band's biggest selling album at the time, was their first album to break into the Billboard top 100 in the U.S. as well as charting across Europe, earned the band a Grammy nomination and has been featured in Rolling Stone's Greatest Prog Albums Of All Time. Fear Of A Blank Planet is an ambitious 50 minute piece of music made of tracks that flow together to create a cohesive whole. The British art-rockers created a concept album here based on the Bret Easton Ellis novel Lunar Park, with lyrics that addressed how the adolescent protagonist battled his bipolar and attention-deficit disorders with a regimen of prescription drugs and Internet over stimulation. The music used sprawling vocal melodies, atmospheric guitars and drums that tumbled through chaotic passages to echo the main character's manic-depressive states.

Double clear vinyl LP pressing. The concept for The Incident (the band's much lauded 10th and most recent studio album) emerged as Porcupine Tree's creator Steven Wilson, was caught in a motorway traffic jam whilst driving past a road accident. InchThere was a sign saying 'POLICE - INCIDENT' and everyone was slowing down to see what had happened... Afterwards, it struck me that 'incident' is a very detached word for something so destructive and traumatic for the people involved. The irony of such a cold expression for such seismic events appealed to me, and I began to pick out other 'incidents' reported in the media and news, I wrote about the evacuation of teenage girls from a religious cult in Texas, a family terrorising it's neighbours, a body found floating in a river by some people on a fishing trip, and more.Inch Consisting of 18 tracks, each song is written in the first person, attempting to humanise the detached media reportage of each associated event. The first 14 tracks form part of a 55-minute song cycle, with the last 4 having been recorded later (and originally released as a second disc to stress their independence from the song cycle). The album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Surround Sound Album and reached the Top 25 in the US and UK album charts. It was awarded InchAlbum Of The YearInch in Classic Rock and German magazine Eclipsed. The Incident marked another step forward in the incredible journey of the band that began as a solo studio project and grew to a multi-Grammy nominated act and one of the world's most revered live bands, selling out arenas across the globe and wowing fans with their incredible performances. Exclusive double 140gm clear vinyl with artwork faithful to the original . Album Tracks 1. Occam's Razor 2. The Blind House 3. Great Expectations 4. Kneel and Disconnect 5. Drawing the Line 6.
