    Does anyone know how to tell the difference between the original Tonefloat 2007 pressing and the Tonefloat 2015 reissue? They look to be identical with regards to the stampers and barcode.

      I got a marriage. From one channel sound with defects. Moreover, on several disks. Does anyone have this? The needle is new and tuned - orthophone 2m red. The other day, I expect her to be replaced by amethyst sumiko. The needle is sharpened differently, which can solve the problem...

        I met Porcupine Tree from a friend of mine back in 1994. I was stunned by their music and the progressive rock sound, the comparison to Pink Floyd is inevitable! They automatically became one of my favourite bands! That was until 1996 and "Signify", from that point and further, I considered they took a " commercial " turn, so I decided to stick to their early Delerioum works. That changed with this album, which is one of the best they have ever put out......
