5 out of 5 stars It's Awsome!!.......2003-08-29

Okay, I'm an avowed PT fan so it is hard for me to be objective, but this is just a great release and I recommend it to all PT fans, even if you own an earlier version. I have the Ark produced earlier release and I'm sure those of you who own it will agree that the production needed a bit of work. It sounded good when you cranked it up, but was below par compaged with In Abstentia and Stupid Dream. Steve Wilson has gone back and remastered all the tracks and the result is worth the import price. I hear subtleties on this one I never noticed on my old copy, and it sounds great.

Not only do you get a better version of the original great album, but you get the Insignificance Demos as a bonus disc, also remasterd. It was a limited edition release back in 1997 with alternate Signify tracks and others that didn't make it onto the album. Plus it has an acoustic version of Nine Cats....who wouldn't want that??? Thanks for sharing these tracks with us Steve, they rock!

Overall, a great purchase, as I'm sure fellow fan and graphic designer Woofbear would attest. For those of you who don't own a single PT CD, this is a good place to start, though I'd recommend Lightbulb Sun and Stupid Dream as perhaps better introductions. If you enjoy melodic, spacey and somewhat dark rock with clever, introspective lyrics; then you should definitely give this double CD a listen. This isn't my favorite PT CD, I'd give it 4 stars when compared with the rest of their discography. But compared to most groups out there, this is a 5 star release, and thus my rating.

* A really worthless CD, don't waste your time.
** A CD that has some good stuff, but some major defects. Don't bother unless completeing a collection.
*** An OK CD that will please fans of the artist in question but may not convert new listeners.
**** An excellent CD that represents the best work of the artist in question and can be bought with confidence.
***** An absolute classic that is the best, or among the best, of its genre. Your collection should start here.
