This Record Store Day, Porcupine Tree present a 12′ of tracks pulled from the ‘In Absentia’ & Deadwing deluxe editions, previously unreleased on vinyl until now. ‘In Absentia’ was Porcupine Tree’s seventh studio album & 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 it’s 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. Originally released in 2005, ‘Deadwing’ was Porcupine Tree’s eighth studio album following their breakthrough with ‘In Absentia’. It was critically lauded & solidified the bands’ position at forefront of modern progressive rock.
