That would be amazing, M. I have all of the B-sides already, but getting them on one disc, perhaps remastered in some way by the man himself (or otherwise...or not), would still be pretty awesome. They certainly deserve to be in the spotlight a bit more.
Yeah, no one should expect anything at all in terms of PT activity for the next year or two. For all we know, Wilson will get yet another flash of inspiration during this tour and go on to a fourth album; I mean, he really is loving the hell out of this new-found freedom and creativity. I love that, and I'm not holding my breath for anything PT-related as it's a sure thing that at the absolute least, we won't hear news of it till after the tour for the third solo album. No concrete information at all thus far, and Wilson himself has stated, after being asked "...is (there) a danger that Porcupine Tree might fall by the wayside?"
The honest answer is I don’t know. The solo career for me now is probably the most important. I think about it more than anything else, I’m more focused on it than anything else, I enjoy it more than anything else...
From wikipedia, which has cited a source. So any other information is theories by starved fans. Rightfully so. Despite the fact that I still really, really abhor most of The Incident, even I'm starting to wonder what the next album will be like, and I'm not worried at all that they'll 'die out'. Wilson is far too much of a creative monster to not go against that pre-set plan that he thinks fans envision for PT. Which is probably a very large reason why he's so gung-ho about this solo-career. Either way, I wouldn't worry. He's enjoying himself, and so are the other members of PT. When the time is right, when the ideas are flowing, something will come of it. But right now that's just not his area of focus. Who knows, maybe something during this solo tour will inspire him to do something with PT.
