There's a breed of (post-1980s) bands with the same degree of grand rock experimentalism as Pink Floyd and Yes, who simultaneously adhere to the concept of concise songwriting. Porcupine Tree is one such band--their sound is a balance of lush ambient textures, charming vocal harmonies, rock & roll directness, and acoustically- and electronically-generated sounds. Their debut IN ABSENTIA shows all these elements in place, rich with the likely possibility of them becoming a contemporary counterpart to Pink Floyd.

This powerful album comes alive in DTS 5.1 Surround sound for DVD-Video players, also three bonus tracks not found on the domestic stereo release and two music videos, mixed in DTS 5.1 sound.

4 stars Un DVD-Audio de Colección
Ya por el solo hecho de contener 3 temas adicionales es increible, si le sumamos ademas 3 video clips con 5.1 es fantastico, mas uno de los mejores discos de la banda .... nos resulta un imperdible. El diseño y las imagenes estan muy bien logradas, y aunque suena bastante bien y la pista Dts es un gran aporte (comparado con el sonido del cd), creo quye podrian haber obtenido mejores resultados .... de todas maneras ... es ya un clasico

5 stars It doesn't get any better than this !
Well to say the least your basic IN ABSENTIA CD is already an awsome piece work! The DVD-(dts)AUDIO is even better,the surround sound is a sonic ride you don't want to miss. It runs 87 mins.with 3 bonus tracks and also includes 3 video's - * Blackest Eyes * Strip the Soul * Wedding Nails PT , Sonic architects , aural craftsmen. ...music worthy of admiration. If you want to get the best out of your audio system ,BUY THIS DISC...nuff said.

4 stars Very good album, but where's the bass?
I picked this up on DVD-a on a recommendation on my newsgroup. I was immediately impressed with the opening track (I'm a big Rush / Dream Theater / Fates Warning fan). The surround mix isn't particularly aggressive, which can be a good thing. It offers the proper ambience without going insane with channel bouncing. However, where's the bass? I mean there is hardly any .1 information at all. My sub is nearly dead playing this DVD-a. I realize that not every DVD-a can be mixed like Steely Dan's latest, but this mix definitely subtracts a star from an otherwise worthy musical performance.

5 stars AWESOME!!!
This is a MUST have for PT collectors. The bouns tracks alone are well worth it even though there are only three of them. It is a beautiful mixture of sounds that just blows you away. You really havent heard the album unless you have heard it in DTS format its truely amazing. ::Dalya84:: (=^_^=)

5 stars Increible!!!
Bueno, este disco es increible como dije antes y aun con los bonus tracks sobre todo Chloroform que es un pasaje muy profundo del disco y canciones como Futile o Blackest Eyes que son muy progresivas, y el sonido DTS es maravilloso, todo con claridad y limpio, creo que Steven Wilson hizo un gran trabajo en el sonido de este disco y sin duda ya es un clasico que pasara por la mente de toda banda progresiva nueva

The release of 2009's ENDGAME brings with it a startling realization: if first-generation thrash metal fans had been polled about which of the genre's "Big Four" -- Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth -- would prove to be the most resilient and consistently prolific over the next quarter century, the only sure-fire consensus would probably have been "well, anyone but Megadeth!" And yet, 12 studio albums and 150-plus songs later -- more than any of the other three have managed -- that's exactly what's come to pass. The group's second release for Roadrunner, whose title apparently refers to "coming ...

Pearl Jam Backspacer CD  (2009)

In Absentia
CD $23.69  5 stars Top 100
Of all the bands to emerge from the early `90s grunge explosion, Pearl Jam was both the longest-lived and most consistently interesting. After several albums that found the group taking an increasingly experimental direction, the Seattle quintet returned to its straight-ahead hard rock roots with 2006's self-titled effort. In 2009 however, Pearl Jam surprised fans again with an album containing some of the unit's catchiest, poppiest songs ever. According to lead vocalist Eddie Vedder, most of the new material was written prior to recording, which was a significant departure from the group's usual in-studio jamming method of composition. The result is one of the unit's most focused and accessible works ...

This is a DTS CD, which features DTS 5.1 Surround Sound technology and is playable on a DTS-capable 5.1 sound system. While the Moodies were never exactly a rocker's delight, SEVENTH SOJOURN, the seventh recording with the post-Denny Laine lineup, is perhaps their most ballad-heavy album. Ironically, the album's biggest hit, which would become one of the group's signature songs, was the uncharacteristically uptempo "I'm Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll Band." Elsewhere, ...
