New Incident merchandise
There is a whole range of new Incident related merchandise available in both the Porcupine Tree UK and US stores. The US store is a brand new addition following requests from fans.
Check out the clothing, accessories and artwork pages on the European store, or the US store.
All of these items, apart from the the denim jacket and coffee mug which remain mail order only, will also be sold at the shows on the forthcoming tour dates – but please note that while you will save on shipping by buying at a show, most venues these days add a concession fee to each item (sometimes as much as 35%) which means it may actually work out cheaper for you to pay the shipping. This is something that is unfortunately beyond the band’s control and can vary from venue to venue.
No-Man – Mixtaped (double dvd preorder)
Mixtaped:
The first ever DVD release from No-Man.
Comprising the band’s sell-out performance at London’s Bush Hall in 2008, a comprehensive career-spanning documentary, Returning, and numerous extras (including newly commissioned and archive video footage), Mixtaped provides a fascinating insight into the inner workings of the band.
Returning:
Directed by award winning journalist Richard Smith, Returning is the story of No-Man.
At the start of their career, No-Man were described as ‘conceivably the most important band since The Smiths’ (Melody Maker). Almost 20 years later, Uncut claimed the band as ‘Britain’s most underrated sorrowful sonic architects’.
Returning reveals for the first time the No-Man’s full history from their roots in a teenager’s bedroom to an unsuccessful career in mainstream Pop; from near obscurity to increasing cult success.
Returning is the story of two musicians who’ve stuck to their belief in the transformative power of popular music, and the music industry’s sometimes tense relationships with art, commerce and its audience.
Comes with an audio CD of highlights from the Bush Hall performance exclusive to Burning Shed.

NSRGNTS RMXS – Remix Album Plus Video Competition
Earlier this year to coincide with the release of Insurgentes by Steven Wilson, Kscope launched a remix competition which gave fans the chance to remix a track from the album.
We received over 200 entries to the competition, each of which were listened to personally by Steven. He was so impressed by the response and the quality and diversity of the entries that we have decided to launch a new competition to coincide with the release of the new remix album, NSRGNTS RMXS. For this competition rather than asking for people to remix a track, we are instead inviting people to create a video for one of the tracks.
We would like people to make a video for the David A. Sitek mix of Harmony Korine which is available from the Kscope store (the tracks shall also be available to download from this site shortly).
The initial deadline for entries has passed but we have had several people contact us asking for more time to complete their video so we extending this deadline to October 12th (UK releases date of NSRGNTS RMXS).
We’ve created a YouTube channel for all entries so once you’ve completed your video please upload it to your own YouTube page and send us a link to let us know and we’ll add it to the page as a favourite.
Insurgentes was released earlier this year on Kscope. The album immediately received a rapturous reception from not just fans and critics but also from fellow artists. Several of these artists have remixed tracks from the album and NSRGNTS RMXS is a collection of some of these remixes.
The CD edition features a mix of Harmony Korine by David A. Sitek, currently enjoying massive critical acclaim for the new TV On The Radio album. Underground hip-hop pioneers Dälek have created a dark, brooding mix of Get All You Deserve (think Massive Attack meets UNKLE). Engineers, who recently returned with their new album Three Fact Fader, have brought their widescreen sound to Abandoner while Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson, XTC) has created a sprawling mix of Salvaging and drone act Fear Falls Burning have also reworked Get All You Deserve. It also features the Danse Macabre remix, which was the winner of the original remix competition.
The 12” vinyl edition of NSRGNTS RMXS will be limited to 1000 copies and will only be available from the Kscope store. It also features the David A. Sitek mix along with two mixes of Only Child by Pat Mastelotto.
A digital edition will also be available which collects all eight tracks available on the CD and 12”.
1. Harmony Korine – David A. Sitek Magentzied Nebula Mix
2. Get All You Deserve – Dälek Mix
3. Abandoner – Engineers Mix
4. Salvaging – Pat Mastelotto Mix
5. Abandoner – Danse Macabre Mix
6. Get All You Deserve – Fear Falls Burning Mix
