I saw this earlier this morning... Fripp and Lifeson on a Porcupine Tree album... should be damn good. I wonder if their contributions will be limited to solos or whole songs, or perhaps even multiple songs each?
I can't wait for this, as well as the new Rush album! 2007 is shaping up to be a good year in prog (not that 2006 wasn't great, but it's always good to keep the great stuff coming!). -Marc. ------------- I know what I like and I like what I know.

An artical on this Rush blog says that Lifeson and Fripp will be guesting on the next Porcupine Tree CD, due out next April!
http://rushisaband.com/ Do you see this as a confirmation that PT will continue on in the same direction that they had on their last two CDs? ------------- If it's worth playing, it's worth playing loud! |

I've also heard Decapitated Walrus are busy recording the new album and can't take part in PT's newest, which is a pity.  ------------- sig |

I knew this would happen, too busy indeed. One bit of success and they turn their backs on their roots. Too busy enjoying the superstar lifestyle more like... ...I'm not going to download any more of their albums as a protest, that will teach them. |

| I've yet to listen to Porcupine Tree, but I plan on getting In Absentia and Deadwing soon and now I'm even more excited about learning about this band. Besides I'll listen to Britney Spears if Robert Fripp and Alex Lifeson were involved. |

Surely you are trying to say you will keep on bidding for those rare cassettes instead?   ------------- sig |

Oh well, not too many people bid on DW albums... That's what you get for being signed to an Independant label.
 ...as well as playing incomparable music with an eccentric line-up made of imaginary PA members. ------------- sig |

Hm, now that you put it that way, it also makes a lot of sense.
Ok, back to the topic, I think Fred Durst isn't guesting on the new PT album either. ------------- sig |

Mikael Akerfeldt and Adrian Belew contributed to Deadwing, so this is hardly a new departure for PT.

This news will truly make it a merry, merry christmas. Although I highly doubt it, a tour this year, triple billing PT, KC, and Rush would simply make me cry in happiness. If Rush would include SW on one track of their new release, oh my. OK...back to reality. -------------
