It is totally in SW wheelhouse to change direction from his solo albums of late. I highly doubt he gets PT band to record music like To the Bone or the last one.....It will be the traditional PT flavor.

Gavin is knee deep in with Pineapple Thief, and they are touring now and coming to the US next year, I already have tickets for the June Seattle show....so not sure when he has time to compose music for PT, maybe 2023.
I assume SW has relaxed from his position that PT can restart again but he had no interest in being the main writer like before, one of the others would have to take those reins.....Maybe he is writing music now for PT, have not heard a peep from Richard and Edwin.

I'm up for anything they do.

If Wilson's latest solo albums are any indication i doubt that they could ever top their classic era which was pretty much their entire run.


Agreed.  Love Porcupine Tree and most everything Steven Wilson.  That last album though was a complete pile of sh*t.

I don’t see what the problem is with great bands making new music. I mean, sure, it isn’t the same as their classic stuff but it’s still the same band and they enjoy doing it, so why shouldn’t they.


Problem? Not really. Chances are it won't be the same band. It will be one or two members with new session musicians trying to recycle old material and rearrange it all into new material.

Is this a foregone conclusion? Of course not. However when classic bands peak and then retread i find it disingenuous and boring for the most part.

Of course they are free to do whatever they want, i'm just stating as a fan i hope they choose to NOT.

Steven Wilson continues to release Bass Communion albums and doing remixes (See the latest Fovea Hex: The Salt Garden (Landscaped)).  He has done this while releasing his latest two solo albums and he hasn't changed or compromised the sound, style or quality of his Bass Communion project.  And it is anything but commercial.  If he is continuing on with PT, then I don't think he is going to veer away from progressive music with that project, and maybe that will be his outlet for prog.  That's speculation, of course, but from listening to his other continuing projects and such, those haven't been compromised.

But then Wilson has shown some shapeshifting ability over time. I don't think he'd use PT to just smoothly continue what he did on his latest solo albums. I expect quite a bit better from PT at this point than from  Yes or Caravan. But even if not - in my world it's not worse if PT produce a mediocre album than any band that I don't know and will never listen to. They should do whatever they like, and if I don't like it I may put half an hour of my time into checking it out and then leave it alone, hardly any damage done.

I agree. Leave us this legacy in peace.

Someone claims to have reversed the snippet and sped it up. Claims it is Wilson singing "who do you think you are?" and thinks Gavin Harrison is on the drums.

I listened to it and can't make those same conclusions. I hear a drum roll and somebody singing something, but I don't what they're singing.


I suppose it's either a new album or hyping up some reissue of PT. Not sure what the CC stands for.
