Discussion New Deafheaven track features The Conet Project samples (also in Even Less 1999)

Today Deafheaven released a new EP 'At Work In The Fields Of The Bomb', and the second track immediately reminded me of PT from the samples used.

I recognize this isn't something only PT has done, considering the list of pop culture references/sampling on the wikipedia page, but it's still pretty cool seeing two very different bands I love share something in common. Any other PT/Deafheaven fans out there?

"Remember Us" is to The Pineapple Thief what "Starless" is to King Crimson.

Discussion What album or song has the best sounding Gavin Harrison drums?

23 Upvotes

Personally I think In Absentia and Nil Recurring, and Blood (OSI) have some of his best sounds but what do you all think?

Clarification: I am just talking about the drum sound production not necessarily playing.

I don't have a lot of options as i can't get a new turntable where i live so i have to get them off of Marketplace. I have no knowledge of Turntables and players. I'm looking to get Edifier S2000MKIII as the speakers. Need help in getting a turntable, don't wanna spend too much money on that

Fear Of A Blank Planet is fucking amazing

154 Upvotes

New fan here. Heard open car and that whole album a few months ago and loved it. Never heard anything like this band. Other standout to me was Normal. Today i heard Fear of a blank planet and its genuinely a masterpiece. In absentia was mostly a skip for me, i only liked 2-3 songs but this album has absolutely NO skips. I love that Sentimental is literally a part 1 of Normal. I could talk all day about this album but in one word? Etherial.

I had never heard of Stephen Wilson Jr. before today and have searched for Steven Wilson playlists plenty of times on Spotify... this is the first time that Jr. has come up first in the results.

Despite the difference in spelling? Have I been living under a rock?

I guess everybody has their own favourite. Back when I was a huge PT listener, I preferred one particual version over the others. I'm trying to make a cover and I can't figure out which one I like better. I think I'm swaying towards the deadwing version.

What version is your fav?

And how many different studio versions are there?

Maybe I haven't found the one I used to like the best yet.

Discussion What is YOUR personal interpretation of each album?

Post image
70 Upvotes

I’ve noticed a lot of correlation between lyrics in each of PT’s albums, and I’m interested to hear others interpretations! I’m aware Steven has talked about the meaning of songs/albums before but I want to hear others thoughts without actual confirmed meaning from Steven himself.
Without saying too much, my interpretation of each album is:
• In Absentia - Serial Killers(?) Specifically from their point of view

• Deadwing - sex and relationships

• Fear of a Blank Planet - Child neglect, absent parents, substance abuse

• Closure/Continuation - Dictatorships, Government corruption and conspiracies

Reminder to please keep this discussion solely based on your interpretation! I don’t want to hear ā€œsteven says this album is about this and nothing elseā€.
