Another week, another Porcupine Tree posting. This weeks were going to dig into the catalog a little deeper and use the same template as last week, some early work and some later work... But first a few more facts about the band...
So a couple of things happened with last week's SHT post...
And then one thing didn't happen...

Here’s your question...
British commander General Cornwallis occupied this city but was driven out by hostile residents, prompting him to note that this city was "a hornet's nest of rebellion". Name that City!

Well, it's very, very good music!
I would like to able to listen to all of their albums, but I'm not gonna buy all of them. I've got 5 PT-albums now, and the only one, that I'm not really in to is.......Signify. Maybe it takes a few more listenings, but the latest 4 albums, that they've made appeals more to me. It's definitely the heavier guitars on those albums, that makes them better imo.
I hpe that, they will return as a band soon, and even though "The Raven"-album is awesome, Wilson needs to rock again!!
well I may get a certain amount of flack from you guys here, but I DL just about everything anymore. If its really good,I go out to buy it. Porcupine Tree....was over 14 GB worth of DL. Most I have ever DL'd of a band. a ton of rare stuff. This is one band I can't wait to go out now and not only buy their CD's but even get any vinyl if it is available.
Awesome! Have you seen the AutoRip feature at Amazon? Its the best of both worlds when its available, you get the CD package and the instant download. I've done my fair share of downloading as well, and it was not easy to recover from a recent crash.
#1 - I had 10 free downloads each month with my Zune subscription. I crashed at the same time they were switching to XBox Music and spent considerable amount of time on the phone getting my music back.
#2 - I had several MP3 purchases from Amazon before they introduced their Cloud service. They had a history of my purchases so it was easy to send and email and request they add them to my cloud service and all went smoothly there.
#3 - I had to re-rip my physical collection.
#4 - I switched to iTunes since Zune was going away. Which I've really liked now that all the hard work has been done!
So with lessons learned, I purchased an internal 1.5 terabyte drive to house my photos and music, and a 1 terabyte external western digital drive. I backup often now!
The Porcupine Tree packages are very cool! So DL wasn't an option for me because I wanted the physical package too, but several of them were AutoRip CD's so I got that instant gratification and then that cool packaging to check out when they were delivered!
I love the Autorip function on Amazon. However, the vast majority of new albums aren't featured. So that's a drawback. But it's great when the CD's arrive and you don't have to rip 'em to the computer. Luckily, once they are autoripped, you can send them to iTunes.
I had one situation where I ordered a remastered deluxe edition and Autorip gave me the crappy not remastered no bonus tracks version... Oh well, its still a cool service that will only improve with time
What's scary is finding how much stuff has been AR'd for you. Got a Kindle a month or so ago and I was fiddling around and there's a lot of stuff that was ripped. A LOT.
I didn't realize it worked with a Kindle. That's cool.
