In an interview with Innerviews, Wilson responded to a query about new music and the way forward for the band saying: “It’s kind of too early to say, to be trustworthy. Once more, they’re completely different. I believe a bit like my solo profession, Porcupine Tree has reached a degree the place we do not need to attempt to do something besides be ourselves. We do not need to fear about what individuals count on of us—not that we ever did.
“We’re having fun with the method. I like working with Gavin Harrison and Richard Barbieri. And the plain factor for me now’s that as a result of the solo profession is established, I am rather more in a position to be a part of a democratic band in a manner I wasn’t again within the day. I used to really feel the necessity to management it extra. Now, I do not. In truth, I relish the thought of giving up management and maybe not getting my very own manner on a regular basis. I am open to not essentially doing issues the best way I might have completed them myself.
“I believe Porcupine Tree going ahead will not be extremely prolific. We might not tour once more. However I believe we’ll positively make at the least yet one more document. It might even be the subsequent venture, presumably. However that is as a lot as I can say for the time being.”
He additionally famous that he’d like to do a Porcupine Tree dwell present field set, although that may show tough as he is acquired numerous materials to dig by means of.
“I have been speaking about doing a Porcupine Tree dwell field set, as a result of just about each present we performed was recorded. However that might be a large job to compile 12-15 exhibits that symbolize every section of the band in the absolute best gentle. It will be three-to-four months’ work. When am I going to do this? I believe it is one thing I’ll get to ultimately, however it might be at a time after I take a step again from making new work. And as you see, that is not occurring proper now.”
