Featuring re-mastered stereo and 5.1 surround sound mixes, additional studio recordings, a disc of unreleased demos and a new feature length Lasse Hoile directed documentary on Blu-ray (All region). This new deluxe version of In Absentia provides an unrivalled insight into the context of the seminal album. The first CD features Steven Wilson's 2017 remaster, which has considerably less compression and limiting for a more dynamic listening experience. The second CD includes all of the additional finished studio recordings the band made during the period. "Collapse (intro)", "Drown With Me", "Chloroform", and "Meantime" were all recorded during the album sessions in New York, while "Futile" and "Orchidia" come from the post-album promo-only Futile EP. Radio edits of "Trains", "Blackest Eyes" and "Strip the Soul" are also included. 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 109- minute feature length documentary film directed by Lasse Hoile, chronicling the making of the album with interviews and archive footage. This deluxe reissue of Porcupine Tree's best-loved album follows the release of Steven Wilson's fifth solo album, To The Bone, which soared into the UK Album Charts at #3 and #2 in the German album charts and led to a sold-out tour including 3 shows at London's Royal Albert Hall.Original 2020 Deluxe Edition.

Musically, "In Absentia" is often regarded as a milestone in Porcupine Tree's evolution, blending atmospheric progressive rock with heavier, guitar-driven passages, intricate rhythms and rich vocal harmonies. The album's dark, conceptual undertones and meticulously layered production showcase the band's ability to balance accessibility with depth, from immersive, slow-building epics to more direct, song-oriented tracks. Across the 4 discs, listeners can follow the album's sonic and compositional development in detail, discovering how themes and motifs were refined and expanded over time.
Porcupine Tree, led by songwriter, guitarist and vocalist Steven Wilson, ranks among the most influential progressive rock bands of the modern era. Emerging in the early 1990s, they gradually moved from psychedelic and space-rock influences towards a distinctive sound fusing prog, art rock, metal and ambient textures. Over the years, their albums have been widely praised by the music press and have built a dedicated international following, leading to sold-out tours and chart appearances in multiple countries. Their work helped rejuvenate progressive rock for a new generation and paved the way for many contemporary bands in the genre.
