“So, I am much less inclined to say, ‘Overlook about Porcupine Tree, it is by no means going to return again.’ It would come again, however I do not assume it’s going to be anytime quickly. We must have one thing recent we needed to say if we have been to make a brand new studio file.” Wilson continued.
“I can’t think about us getting again collectively simply to do a nostalgia tour. That is so not us. The probabilities of coming again to exit and play the songs for the followers yet one more time is fairly slim. I feel it must be allied with a brand new studio challenge. I do not know what that might be at this stage, however perhaps in three, 5, or 10 years, if we’re all nonetheless alive and round, it is potential.”

It was very superbly filmed and combined. It was one of many largest reveals with about 12,000 individuals. It was an amazing evening, and it is a full doc of this era of the band. There can be a five-LP field set of the audio and a Blu-Ray. There may be a deluxe CD and Blu-Ray field set as effectively.”
“One of many issues I’ve loved most about this part of Porcupine Tree is that in some respects, I am not on the heart of every thing, and issues truly occur with out me.” Wilson added. “I have been in a position to let Richard Barbieri and Gavin Harrison take management of sure issues, like engaged on this launch. I’ve combined the audio and accepted the visible minimize. It ought to be out at the start of 2024.”
