Porcupine Tree / Arriving Somewhere: deluxe 2CD+blu-ray combo set
Debut on blu-ray and CD • In Absentia & Deadwing reissued on vinyl
English rock band Porcupine Tree was formed by Steven Wilson back in 1987 and to date they have released ten studio albums. The concert film Arriving Somewhere was made when 2005’s Deadwing album was toured and then released on DVD the following year. That same film is now issued on CD and blu-ray for the first time, in a special three-disc package.
The band were Steven Wilson, Gavin Harrison, Richard Barbieri and Colin Edwin with John Wesley and this performance was filmed in Chicago on 11-12th October 2005 and edited by long-time Steven Wilson collaborator Lasse Hoile.
Since this is now on high-def blu-ray, it includes the audio in three formats, all mixed by Steven Wilson: DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, PCM Surround and PCM Stereo.
The Blu-ray extras include: bonus live performances from the German Rockpalast TV broadcast of Radioactive Toy and Futile; live projections of Start of Something Beautiful, Halo and Mother and Child Divided; the Lazarus promo video; Gavin Harrison’s Cymbal Song video; and a photo gallery.
The three-disc release is packaged as a ‘media book’ and comes with a 24-page booklet. The Deadwing album and its 2002 predecessor In Absentia are also reissued on vinyl around the same time.
This special edition of Arriving Somewhere is released on 23 March 2018.
Update: Steven Wilson has been in touch with SDE directly to confirm that despite label notes to the contrary, this isn’t a new remaster, it’s the same mastering as 2006. This post has been amended accordingly.
