Any word whether Alan Parsons will be the recording engineer again as he was on The Raven That Refused to Sing? If not, that will be a real loss as I feel the 24/96 of Raven was the finest recording (from a technical standpoint) that I have ever heard.
Also, the pop song demoed on the video sound more like Steven's work with Blackfield which is not my cup of tea.

So no Theo on the sax and no Alan Parsons in the booth. Steven Wilson put Porcupine Tree on indefinite hiatus for a jumped up Blackfield album. Well, I hope the three prog songs mentioned in the video are worth it.

I'm sure that the album will be great
BTW, I think that Anneke Van Giersbergen is singing on the last song in the trailer.

This is awesome news! Thanks for the heads-up.
The Raven that Refused to Sing was my favorite recording, last year. It is one of the best albums of the last decade, IMHO. He assembled such a killer line up of musicians, it made the fact that Alan Parsons mixed & helped Produce it the icing on the cake.
I sure hope Wilson doesn't lose sight of Porcupine Tree. They are SO talented & each member a master if the instruments & role in PT, it would be a travesty to see PT dissolve & dismember.

From Steven Wilson Facebook:
Myself and my friend Mariusz Duda - Official from Lunatic Soul - official /Riverside have teamed up to record a song together, and for a very special reason.
Alec Wildey was a young fan who for several years had been passionate about our music, actively helping out with promotion as a leading member of the Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson street teams from the tender age of 17, and setting up a street team for Mariusz in 2010. Some of you will almost certainly have met Alec, as he attended many of our concerts. If you did you will have found him to be a sensitive, extremely intelligent and articulate young man. He was a devoted and enthusiastic music listener and movie watcher, as well as a self-published poet, with a very bright future ahead of him.
Unfortunately on Christmas Eve 2013, Alec learned he had a cancer of the lymphatic system, followed shortly afterwards by an additional diagnosis of liver cancer. He began a course of aggressive chemotherapy and radiation treatment, but alas to no avail. At the end of July when he understood he had only a short time left, he emailed me to ask if it was possible that his two favourite musicians could set one of his poems to music, a long held dream of his. I immediately agreed but told him I would make a deal with him - I would make it happen if he could hang on long enough to hear it. We even discussed the possibility of him playing drums on the song himself.
Unfortunately he passed away only a few weeks later on 25th August at the age of just 26, and so the idea to record the song has now become about honouring Alec’s memory and all too short life, as well as a form of tribute to him and his family. One of Alec’s poems The Old Peace has been beautifully set to music by Mariusz and sung and performed by both of us. It is now available to download from Burning Shed for a modest sum in both high resolution FLAC and mp3, with 50% of the proceeds going to the medical centre that cared for Alec during his final months, and 50% going to other cancer support group charities. We would be happy if as many people as possible paid for the official download (so please don’t share it or upload it to any other sites) in order to raise as much as we can to help others that find themselves in the same awful situation. The song will be available to download until the end of January, after which all the proceeds will be paid over to the cancer support groups.

Tickets of upcoming tour ordered.
And the Germany Release comes first, guess he is saying thanks for his third place in the Album Charts?
With his recent success and there be some pop songs, will we have maybe a successfull single?
Being new on this forum, boy oh boy, awesome to see such a thread here

Btw: Bought The Old Piece, awesome track !
