Contact is the second major label album by Thirteen Senses. Released in the UK on the 2 April 2007, it includes the single "All the Love in Your Hands". The album had originally been scheduled for release on 22 January, but due to more songs being written and recorded, the release was postponed. The band issued a statement on 12 December apologising for the delay and explaining that "our creative juices continued to flow, and we came up with some more material that we couldn't ignore. As a result, we had to record these songs leading to missed production deadlines." As a result of this, "Talking to Sirens" was added to the final record and the song "Final Call" from the promotional CD release of the album was taken out.
Six of the tracks from the album were previewed for a short period of time from 6 October 2006 on the official Thirteen Senses website. These were tracks 1,2,4,5,6 and 9 from the track listing below.
"Follow Me" was used in the closing sequence of the season two premiere of Kyle XY .

Stupid Dream is the fifth studio album by British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree. It was first released in March 1999, and then re-released on 15 May 2006 due to the band's rising popularity on major record label Lava Records with their releases of In Absentia in 2002 and Deadwing in 2005. The album, along with Lightbulb Sun in 2000, represented a transitional period for the band, moving away from the band's earlier work in instrumental and psychedelic music, but before they took a more metal direction in 2002 onwards. The album takes a commercially accessible pop rock sound while still retaining heavy progressive rock influences.

This release made No. 14 in the UK Albums Chart.
