We Lost the Skyline (also Transmission 7.1) is a live acoustic recording by Porcupine Tree, from an in-store performance at Park Avenue CDs in Orlando, Florida, with 200 fans in attendance. Although it was originally planned that the full band would play, lack of space dictated that it was only the two guitarists/singers Steven Wilson and John Wesley. This one-off performance was captured by a remote recording facility and the complete 8 song, 33 minute show was being released in a mail order only CD, but the band are currently negotiating a low-key release for the CD through a number of independent stores in the USA that have supported Porcupine Tree over the last few years (including Park Avenue CDs itself). On February 18th, 2008 "We Lost the Skyline" was released on CD. The vinyl versions were released on March 18th, 2008. The track "Normal" was made available, a few weeks prior to the release of the album, exclusively to Porcupine Tree fan club members.
