New Porcupine Tree Album -Update

 

And for those of you interested in reading the interview w/ SW, Out_Presentia at the PTF forum has traslated it: "SW: Half of the CD has been recorded and I expect recording to be ready at the beginning of 2007. Anyway, my deadline will be half of January.
Unfortunately I can not reveal the album title, but the album will contain 6 tracks. One track is about 20 minutes long and the total playtime will be about 55 minutes.
The songs are rather long and the music and lyrics are connected to a theme I call 'blank generation'.
A generation of kids growing up with MTV, computergames, cellphones, chemical drugs, TV, internet and all those things that distract from the great gift of life.
I grew up at the start of this new generation and I think that al those material things are impoverishing instead of enriching their lives.
These kids are so distracted by the material world that they lack profoundness, emotions and 'soul'.
The core of the CD is the fear of the fact that we raise an empty generation.
What depresses me most is the intellectual level of all those reality TV-shows presented as the current norm.
Furthermore the theme of the CD is partially based on the beautiful book 'Lunar Park' by Bret Easton Ellis.
This will be our most ambitious CD up until now and it will sound even more epic than we ever did before. The larger part of the material we've played live already.
It's a luxury that we didn't experience in the past. The material was able to grow and that should improve the CD. "
