    Just got the DVD and was surprised at how much atmospheric stuff Barbieri does.  I've really liked all PT's stuff except the earliest material when it was only Mr. Wilson.  I hate it that I'm not that knocked out with Fear of a Blank Planet...all the songs seem to lack detail.  I read that they performed the songs live for a while before recording.  It's ironic that you can leave out some of the intricate parts in a live setting and it's not missed because of the vibe of the moment...but it doesn't work the other way around.
 
It's a 8.5 for me.

The CD Fear of a Blank Planet is very good. Richard Barbieri uses
mellotron samples (M Tron) a fair bit on this CD.

My rating out of 10?

11.
