I definitely dig the new tune, but bummed bassist Colin Edwin and longtime tourin’ guitarist John Wesley are out.
I can’t wait to hear the whole album and hopefully catch a show on the next tour! Also need to decide if I’m gonna pony up fer the super deluxe vinyl or not. But then I’ll just want all of P.Tree on vinyl and that is cost prohibitive.
I casually enjoyed Steven Wilson’s solo output over the years, and had a great time at his show near me some three years ago!

If someone misses Porcupine Trees popier side, and haven't checked out Ramona Falls - Intuit they're really doing themselves a disservice.
While the albums don't really sound that much alike, everything I love about Lightbulb Sun and Stupid Dream is everything I love about IntuitLast edited by Knifeboy; May 4, 2012, 04:14 PM.

Pretty much his focus is on his solo music and Storm Corrosion (along with more of those 5.1 and remixes of bands like King Crimson and Jethro Tull).
"In essence, Porcupine Tree has probably run its course, I believe the band have reached a peak both musically and commercially and with my own change in musical direction, it would seem to me to be the appropriate time to put the band on a hiatus. I've enjoyed the extra freedom of being a solo artist and how it allows me to be more diverse than within the context of a band. I'm sure the band will appear again in some form, but not in the foreseeable future, I have a large backlog of musical ideas, I would like to see them come to fruition outside a band context, I trust most Porcupine Tree fans will see the greater picture and look forward to these exciting projects"Last edited by plinian; April 29, 2012, 06:48 PM.

This news is a bummer to me actually. Hopefully PT come back in full force in a few years, but I enjoyed many parts of FOABP and even more so The Incident. However I wouldn't mind in the least a little bit of a return to the sound from Lightbulb Sun, or Stupid Dream.

Originally posted by Corroded Halo View PostThe more I think about it, Blackfield is as much to blame as anything else. The first LP was really good, but the latter two became dumping grounds for SW's more melodic and poppy ideas at the expense of PT -- and they weren't even good, either. Meanwhile, both FOABP and The Incident were just painfully pretentious and at times downright lame, lyrically. There are several good musical moments on both, but I don't really listen to them anymore.

Re: Porcupine Tree's new album "The Incident" (2009)
Now that it's been three years since the last record and I can look back with a clearer perspective, SW's career basically became irrelevant to me the day after Deadwing dropped in 2005. The more I think about it, Blackfield is as much to blame as anything else. The first LP was really good, but the latter two became dumping grounds for SW's more melodic and poppy ideas at the expense of PT -- and they weren't even good, either. Meanwhile, both FOABP and The Incident were just painfully pretentious and at times downright lame, lyrically.

As for his more recent solo dabblings and Storm Corrosion, it's just not for me. I recognize the talent and creativity, but meh.

I'm hoping he refinds his pop roots. The pop sensibilities were what drew me to them, and it has slowly been replaced by technical proficiency. As much as I love Gavin, I feel like the band lost a certain swing when Steven replaced Chris Maitland.

not much (if at all. Bill Bruford or someone like Marco Minneman or Mike Mangini perhaps).
just a bump/heads up.

I wonder how many people in that crowd comprehended what he just threw at them. Glad to see Gavin getting some of the attention that he deserves.
And how often do you hear blast beats in jazz?
