Porcupine Tree v. Glarung is a Lightbulb

[Zantera]

More like Deadwang.

[1neeto]

So after giving Deadwong a few listens, I'm pretty sure I like TI more. Maybe Deadwing will grow on me more but as of right now I think TI is better.

in b4 "you're dead wong about that!"

Hahahaha! Stupid autocorrect!

Whoever said that SW would put PT on ice was RIGHT. Looks like we have an indefinite hiatus, folks. I guess we can expect more from SW solo, hopefully a new No-Man album, and more from the other members of PT in the mean time.

The problem with having a big band with one leading contributor means that when THEY want a break, the band is put on hold. Roine Stolt felt the same way and it took him 5 years and many various side-projects later to come back to his home band of The Flower Kings. I hope we don't have to wait 5 years til the next PT album (although if we say 5 years since The Incident, then the next PT album would be in 2014, which is only 2 years away...)

Well, first of all, the article acknowledges that it's still a rumor. Also,

Porcupine Tree stops for a while?

Here’s a brief extract of an interview with Steven Wilson to be aired on Planet Rock Radio on April 6th….. But not 100% confirmed!

I'm confused. April 6th was 2.5 weeks ago. Why is it not 100% confirmed? Wouldn't the piece have aired already? The source seems suspect to me.

[ReaperKK]

Sucks, but he has to do what he has to do. Sadly I haven't fallen in love with any of his projects, Insurgents was about as good as it gets for me.

[Zantera]

As long as he makes awesome music, it doesn't matter to me if it's with No-Man, Bass Communion, his solo stuff or anything else. But I do hold Porcupine Tree very close to my heart, so I would be sad if they stopped completely.

....You know the poster of this information said it was an April Fools joke right??

It says "to be aired", so I'm thinking it's a typo and should read April 26th. Guess we'll find out in 2 days.

This information was posted on April 1st on progarchives and have you noticed the interview hasn't aired and you should read my earlier post.

[Nick]

That was just part of an April Fool's joke, there is no validity to it whatsoever.

[Zantera]

I must say that some of the people in that thread were complete dicks. I'm not saying everyone should love every band, but replies like "Good news" when a band breaks up, that is just the highpoint of being a douche.

Cruel joke. Now I feel bad because DPRP is usually the top source of Prog News for me and they post that? Oops. Someone might want to inform them that it is not "news".

On the flip side, if say Nickelback broke up tomorrow, wouldn't you be doing cartwheels through that thread?

Not really. I mean, I tend to stay away from what I don't like. After all, even a band like Nickelback has fans, and rubbing it in would still be a dick move.

I agree with you in principle, but you know a lot of people would still be doing it for Nickelback when they wouldn't for Porcupine Tree.

[Zantera]

Yeah probably.

I mean, its been pretty much confirmed that PT is on hiatus for a bit ANYWAYS.  In a Storm Corrosion interview SW mentioned how he was kind of dreading releasing the next PT because it will have been like 5 years since the last one and he doesn't like disappointing people, and the fans really want it to be as amazing as usual.

[seasonsinthesky]

the opening synth sound of "The Sky Moves Sideways phase 1" is used in "Voyage 34" phase IV, around 9:30ish, quite prominently. like, same notes, then it does other stuff. it's a really interesting tie across the UTD era to TSMS; i mean, they already make sense together, but it's a direct link, like how "Drugged" II by Bass Communion became "Together We're Stranger" by No-man. SW recycles in such interesting ways.

[skydivingninja]

Its also used in Venemas Para Las Hadas (I'm pretty sure) off Insurgentes

As a not-so-serious-super-die-hard fan, I can comfortably say that, no matter what they put out, PT will be a Top-5, auto-buy album for me whenever they get around to releasing PT11. I can only hope they record later this year/early next year and release it by Fall 2013.

not the synth i'm talking about — you're right, it's just that you mean the synth that begins the song proper, whilst i mean the very first sound on the entire record. it's part of the quiet sound collage/atmosphere before the song takes off with the chords reused later in "Veneno".

[SystematicThought]

It'll seem like a lifetime since the last PT album, but I'll be happy with whatever they put out.

It just seems like an odd time to go out on hiatus after reaching a very high point in their career. A tour with Coheed that probably gained some fans, a high charting on the Billboard 200, and some huge shows on The Incident Tour. But hey, they'll still come back strong

[Ultimetalhead]

I know Steven does the majority of the writing with Porcupine Tree, but maybe the next album would be a good opportunity to try more of a "band" sound. Let Colin, Richard, and Gavin (hell, maybe even Wesley) in on the songwriting party. I'm sure those guys are all brimming with ideas.

As awesome as that sounds, I don't see SW really wanting to change the writing dynamic of PT.

Well, you never know.  After three solo albums, maybe he might take a more backseat approach on the next PT.

My thoughts exactly. Grace For Drowning, Storm Corrosion, and the new solo album all within a few years. Methinks it's time for Steve to back off and let the rest of the band stretch their writing ability as well. After all, if the band is going to be separate from his solo output, why not treat it like a band and not yet another vehicle for his solo music?

Or I could just fuck off.

[SystematicThought]

I kind of think it'd be nice to have SW relinquish some control on the next album. I mean, we know that the rest of the guys can all write music. Let's see what they can do

[FretMuppet]

I agree, they already done it with Way Out of Here, and that was beautiful

[skydivingninja]

The other guys have written stuff for PT before (Way Out of Here, Hatesong, a few others that I can't think of right now) and its turned out very well, so I'm not opposed to seeing more of their input.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Way Out Of Here is great.  Also, I loved the Incident, as opposed to many peoples' opinions. 

[Silver Tears]

Dude The Incident is awesome 

[Elite]

The Incident is probably in my bottom half of PT albums. It is still quite awesome though.
