In Absentia Was The Band's Seventh Studio Album, First Released In 2002 & Was The First In A Run Of 3 Albums That For Many Represent The Pinnacle Of The Band's Artistic Achievements. It Was Something Of A Breakthrough For The Band, Selling Three Times More Than Previous Releases. Following On From 2000's ?Lightbulb Sun? It Had A Distinctly Heavier Tone, Partly Due To The Addition Of Legendary Drummer Gavin Harrison, & Was Also Their First For Major Label Lava / Atlantic Records. 'in Absentia' Features Many Of Porcupine Tree?S Most Loved Songs Including "Trains", "The Sound Of Muzak" & "Blackest Eyes". While Not A Formal Concept Album, Many Of The Songs Have Common Themes Related To Serial Killers, Youthful Innocence Gone Wrong & Observations Of The Modern World, Setting A Template For Many Of Wilson's Future Songs. This CD Re-Issue Of 'in Absentia' Is Presented In Digipack Packaging Complete With An 8-Page Booklet.
