Indeed! And The Sky Moves Sideways too, imho!

Go see them live Pedro....then you may catch the bug
Arriving Somewhere But Not Here did it for me.

I really like Time Flies a lot. It forms part of The Incident's 50-or-so minute song cycle on the new album, so it'll be interesting to see how it fits in with all the other sounds going on in there.

As a fan of the more spacier PT rather than the more modern heavier PT, I'd vote The Sky Moves Sideways and Lightbulb Sun as my favourites.

Quote from: "Pedro"I open to suggestions as to which album to listen to in order to catch the bug.

Pedders, check out Signify, Stupid Dream and Fear of a Blank Planet for starters. IMHO this would represent a broad sweep of the, ahem, oeuvre.

Just need to say: this album is GOOD! Very good!

(it leaked, don't worry I pre-ordered already ^^')

Just got confirmation!! My deluxe edition is shipping YAAAAAY!

I should have it by the weekend. A friend showed up yesterday having grabbed the leak of it.
I opted not to listen at first wanting to save the experience but we gave it a whirl once over.
Fortunately I got busy working so it remained in the background and I didn't hear much else.

I'm listening to it now, damn my impatience just couldn't wait for pre-order to arrive much like yesterday with the new Megadeth album

Got my pre-order deluxe edition and it is absolutely astounding. Really nice packaging and IMHO impresses me more than the boxes Marillion have done(those are still wonderful though!)

The album is fantastic and I love it a lot more than Fear of a Blank Planet. The book is nice
but has a very disturbing sequence of pictures in it. Other than that it is wonderful and worth
every penny of the $130 USD w/shipping I paid for it.

I'm very much hoping my copy will be waiting for me when I get home tonight.

Can't wait to hear it.

Haha, Phila and I checked that live video out last night - I particularly enjoyed the frame where we could see her singing along on the front row.

She.... didn't so much.

Haha, good luck! There's a reason I used the word 'frame' there!

Ooh, that's difficult.
Could it be at 5.52?

I'm going on half a face, hidden behind a guitar (in a forest)

Loving it! I know Steven said that all the songs are separate, but tie into the main concept, but does anyone know what each individual song is about?
