I am looking for Porky Tree; can you help?

[3-LockBox]

I got the CD Signify from amazon.com last week and I think its great, but when I went back seek other titles, they're all out of stock. Are there any other sources for the earlier titles or am I s-o-l? I'd really like to get Stupid Dream if I could.

Have you tried amazondotcom or ebay?

Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun are out of print.

I do believe Snapper Music is planning on reissuing those titles some time next year.

The remaster/reissues of On The Sunday Of Life and Voyage 34 are scheduled for September and October respectively.

And, the remaster of The Sky Moves Sideways has been available for a few months now.

You can find that at http://www.lasercd.com/default.asp

Yes I looked there, since that's where I got Signify; but I don't want to spend $50 on a used copy.

Two weeks ago there was a used copy for $19.99, but it was gone just a few hours later.

They have a copy of Sunday Of Life for relatively cheap, but I'm not familiar with it; is it there debut?

[3-LockBox]

I have The Sky Moves Sideways, Signify, Coma Divine, and In Absentia.

I also have (on *CD-R) Lightbulb Sun. I wasn't so much interested in 'Sunday' since it seems to get mixed reviews. But I'd love to get Up The Downstairs and Stupid Dream, but I don't even see where they're slated for re-issue. I've been to their website and they mention Voyage 34 and On The Sunday Of Life as far as the re-issues go; but no mention of the others---I hate to think I have to wait any longer---I've been waiting for two or three years to get Stupid Dream and Up The Downstairs, but every time I go to look, they're still OOP, or someone wants some outrageous price for them. Ah well.....



































*geez, can any of you take a hint?;-)

I have both Stupid Dream and Up the Downstair and will toast ya a copy if you promise to buy them eventually. Only have access to a Xerox machine for the inserts tho, so you'd have to settle for B + W covers.
No problems mate, drop me a PM.
BTW - Stupid Dream is possibly the most consistant and enjoyable album they've done, IMHO. Up has some great moments but is a bit inconsistant.

It seems I'm not the only one with trouble finding Porky Tree titles...I thought I was going to have to wait until I went to Europe this fall.
Anyone have the DVD-A of In Absentia? How is it?

[N. Abstentia]

I have it (DVD-A Absentia). Don't like it. I seem to be in the minority here, but I find it hard to listen too. The mix is very un-natural with lots of echo. It loses the punch and airiness of the regular CD release. To be honest, if I play the regular CD and put my reciever in some fake DSP mode (like all channel stereo or Orchestra Hall) it sounds better than the DVD-A to me. You might find it different, but for me I don't like it and I was expecting great things.

Fragile by Yes. Now THAT'S how a DVD-A should sound.

[kexodusc]

Well, I'd like to grab more of their back catalog than buy an album I already have again, but other than In Absentia and Stupid Dream, most places I find don't have anything at all.
I'm moving to a small city in Canada soon to start a new job, might be even harder to find their stuff cheap.
Guess I'll have to look at some of the (expensive) re-releases. Are these remasters or just re-releases with some bonus tracks and different cases? And if they are remasters, is the quality significantly improved or should I keep browsing ebay?

Yeah, Fragile was excellent...Worst DVD-A I've heard was Metallica (Black Album).

You may want to check out synphonic.8m.com or lasercd.com. They probably don't have copies either, but it wouldn't hurt to check. I have ordered from both sites before and have never experienced any problems.
