Porcupine Tree: Anesthetize, the first Blu-ray release from progressive rock band Porcupine Tree, doesn't come out on Blu-ray until June 29, but it is already sold out at Amazon.com. The product page at the Internet retailer displays the message: "We have sold through our allocation of the Anesthetize DVD + Blu-ray Edition. The Anesthetize single-disc DVD edition [due out on June 15] is still available to order."
There is no information as to whether Amazon will be able to replenish stock for the Anesthetize Blu-ray, or if other retailers will also have limited allocations of this title. At the time of writing, it can still be preordered at several etailers, including Deep Discount and Best Buy.
This title had been released in limited cloth-bound hardback book editions in red and grey, both of which are also long gone.
The film was recorded in high definition at two concerts given by Porcupine Tree in Tilburg, The Netherlands, at the end of the Fear of a Blank Planet tour in October 2008. It was directed and edited by Lasse Hoile, with the soundtrack mixed into stereo and 5.1 sound by Steven Wilson.
