Seems like we might have something to listen to very soon:
In his http://geoffdownes.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=112&Itemid=40" rel="nofollow - (IQ), Nick D'Virgilio(Spock's Beard, ex-Genesis), Thomas Lang (ex-John Wetton; drums), Rob Aubrey (worked with Wetton/Downes; engineer). Downes writes:
[In Feb 2007] We [Downes, Holmes & Aubrey] were working on a few tracks that they have been putting together at their respective studios. At the moment it's what you might call a 'virtual' project, with people sending in their stuff/parts from all over the World. [...] It's a fairly interesting but low-key kind of project, and the material - quite different and unusual, but at the moment is still very much a kind of 'work-in-progress' type of thing. Any of you prog-heads out there will probably love it all and lap it up
In 2009, Aubrey described a project called Pulse as being close to completion with Levin (bass), Holmes (guitar), D'Virgilio (drums, vocals) and Lang (drums), but did not mention Downes.
 
There is a show on http://rivergibbsnetwork.com/" rel="nofollow - http://rivergibbsnetwork.com/  this Sunday (5th June 2011) at 7.00pm BST (also repeated some evenings next week) called the "Prog Dog Radio Show" with Geoff Banks.

He says: "Next show features Mike Holmes of the splendid IQ in the studio. Will be playing IQ, The Lens and a world exclusive of PULSE, the band made up of Mike, Nick D'Virgilio, Tony Levin and Geoff Downes plus tracks from Genesis, Steely Dan, Amon Duull, From Great Height and Stackridge".
 
Sounds very interesting...
 
Should be on sometime in the early afternoon in the US, depending on where you live...

Just one track was actually played - & the project is at least 6 months from completion by all accounts, but the track did sound very promising. This should be well worth the wait when we finally get it!
