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.

Audio:

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.Rolling Stone (12/12/02, p.94) - "...Dense, dark Seventies prog-rock ambition....Their heaviest album yet..."
CMJ (10/7/02) - "...A quirky, totally left of center release....IN ABSENTIA is one of those albums that begs to be listened to from the first note to the closing outro..."

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.

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

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:: (=^_^=)
