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 is now 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). However, the CD was released in Poland in small quantity.

The album will come in a digipack sleeve created by photographer Lasse Hoile and designer Carl Glover.

Dutch vinyl specialists ToneFloat also released a quality 180gm vinyl edition of We Lost the Skyline in a gatefold sleeve, with a limited and numbered edition of 1,000 copies on marbled vinyl, and a regular edition on black vinyl. The Porcupine Tree store also stocks the vinyl editions.

On January 25, 2008, "Lazarus" was made available to listen through the band's myspace.[1]

The track "Normal" was made available, a few weeks prior to the release of the album, exclusively to Porcupine Tree fan club members.[2]

On February 18th, 2008 "We Lost the Skyline" was released on CD. The vinyl versions were released on March 18th, 2008.

The CD was also made available to order through Park Ave CDs (the venue where the recording took place). This version of the CD came with an exclusive poster commemorating the in-store event (poster limited to 300). This version was released on February 26th, 2008.[3]
