Notes
Original 2020 Deluxe Edition. There is also a 2023 repress.
Made In
11" x 11" book with discs mounted inside cover
3CD/Blu-ray featuring remastered stereo and 5.1 surround sound mixes, additional studio recordings, a disc of unreleased demos and a new feature length Lasse Hoile directed documentary, plus 100-page hardback book with exclusive content including photography by Lasse Hoile, Carl Glover, Richard Barbieri and John Blackford from the recording sessions, subsequent tour and more, extensive biographical liner notes and track-by-track commentary by Stephen Humphries, artwork drafts, and handwritten notes and lyrics.
All copies of the first print run sold through Burning Shed come with an exclusive art print.
The first CD features Steven Wilson's 2017 remaster, which has less compression and limiting.
The second CD includes all of the additional finished studio recordings the band made during the period.
The third CD comprises over 70 minutes of demos recorded at Wilson's home studio during the two years leading up to recording the album. Many of the selections differ from the final versions, with additional sections, alternate lyrics, and different arrangements.
Also included are demos of three songs that were not subsequently recorded by the band, all released here for the first time: Imogen Slaughter, Watching You Sleep, and Enough.
The Blu-ray features the new master of the original stereo mix, the 5.1 surround sound mix created in 2003 by legendary engineer Elliot Scheiner, plus the audio from the second CD, all in high resolution audio. It also boasts a new 1 hour and 49 minute long documentary film directed by Lasse Hoile, chronicling the making of the album with interviews and archive footage.
Blu Ray error: 'An unfortunate mistake on the Blu-ray disc. It should have included the audio from CD2 in high resolution (24/96) but those tracks/files are not there.' This is the initial release versions.
For those that ordered from Burning Shed, 'The “good” part is that you don’t have to do anything. We will automatically send a replacement Blu-ray to everyone who has bought this from us.'
Replacement disc entry: In Absentia.

Absolutely loving the previously unreleased track 'Watching you sleep'! - it brings back that same feeling of falling in love with Porcupine Tree's music all over again.
