Porcupine Tree Anesthetize - live in Tilburg Blu-Ray/DVD
Porcupine Tree's new live film is approaching completion and a special edition will be available in April, with a regular version to follow in May.
Anesthetize was filmed live over 2 nights in Tilburg, The Netherlands in October 2008, at the end of the Fear of a Blank Planet tour. The 130 minute live film includes a complete performance of the Blank Planet album and 11 other tracks, and was directed and edited by Lasse Hoile on high definition cameras, with the soundtrack mixed into stereo and 5.1 sound.
The special edition will take the form of a cloth bound hard back 120 page book (as per The Incident and Insurgentes deluxe versions) featuring live photography of the band taken over the last 5 years. The book will house both a DVD and a much higher quality Blu-Ray disc version of the film, as well as 2 audio CDs of the soundtrack including one bonus track not featured in the film. The book and audio CDs will not be included with the standard retail versions of the Blu-Ray/DVD.

The cloth-bound hardback Special Edition version of "Anesthetize" that is mentioned in the article sold out within 4 hours of its online release. There are copies up for sale on eBay, but selling for *hundreds* of pounds/dollars more than originally sold for. If you want the Audio CDs as well as the DVD or Blu-Ray that the Deluxe Edition came with it's far cheaper and much more helpful to the band to purchase the DVD or Blu-Ray "Retail" version and then buy the "Atlanta" professionally recorded and mixed full-length concert download from Porcupine Tree.com, to which all proceeds are going to bassist/"Friend Of The Band" Mick Karn's medical fund, who has developed end-stage cancer. |
