I fell in love with their last two albums "Deadwing" and "In Absentia".

The stand out tracks for me are :

Blackest Eyes
The Sound Of Muzak
Shallow
Lazarus
Arriving Somewhere But Not Here


I can't wait for the new DVD "Arriving Somewhere...." to be released.

Have you seen the video concert from the Rockpalast yet? It's brilliant.
Yo H3', you were one of the first to recommend them to me and as you can see I'm pretty much an uber pt geek the now.
I must admit that the most recent two albums were the reason why I got into them, yes. both albums are brilliant. I have them on dvd-audio with extras etc and the full 5.1 surround thing.
Again, the rockpalast gig is excellent, I ripped my own audio from it but I've noticed the full show is available to download (for a fee!) from the official site. Now that would be a cool torrent eh H3'? :-) .
I have to agree that 'Blackest Eyes' is a monster and my 'Tom Sawyer' of this decade, THE song that got me into a band and probably ending up being the one true fav'. Arriving Somewhere' from DWing is simply awesome as are, well, all of them really! 'The Start of Something Beautiful' does it for me at the moment.


Browse my list and pm me if you want me to receive some PT goodies mate :-) .

Hey mate, I didn't know it was me who recommended PT to you. However, I'm glad I could be of service. :-D

I've PM'd you back regarding the PT "goodies". :cool: :cool:

Just got it RL and the remastered sound is far superior. I still prefer the modern PT with the newer drummer Gavin Harrison though, especially when they redo old songs with him eg the two XM session albums :-)

Oh do piss off Liam! :-D I tried to get tickets for both the Cambridge and Astoria shows when I actually had some money but couldnt find any and now I'm skint anyway...bastid that you are :-D .

Confession time, I admit that I'm a slack twat and have so far let down three of my UK chums who are awaiting a plethora of PT and Rush related goodies. I blame it on my workload and a cannabis addiction although my cd/dvd burner packing up didnt help of course. I now have a new burner, three jiffy bags and a shitload of stamps. After reading what new PT goodie I have for you I'm sure you'll be glad of the wait. I hope to post them over the weekend folks.

Apart from a few obscure things I guess I now have the COMPLETE PT collection after finally getting my hands on this beauty.
I actually went to mate's house, used his credit card and payed, yes...PAYED to download the brand spanking new official 'Rockpalast' live set...in it's entireity! I mentioned my own dvd-audio rip but it pales in comparisom to this lossless flac 600mb version. The fact that I couldn't find a torrent of the thing matters not :-D

Here's the cover

Thanks for your patience you three UK chums, it will be worth your while.

ps: debating wether to send them to Liam for being such a git :-D :-) .

I love this band! A friend of mine turned me on to them about two years ago and I am hooked. I have In Absentia, Deadwing, Stupid Dream, and Lightbulb Sun. "Arriving Somewhere" is probably my favorite song with "Lazarus" being a close second. I've missed their shows they've done locally but hopefully that won't be happening again!
