Prog Magazine has just reported that Steven Wilson is putting Porcupine Tree on hold.
Here’s Wilson as quoted by Something Else!,
“I think it’s slightly more complex with Porcupine Tree, which can’t really happen without me instigating it and being the main writer and director of that situation — so, that’s more problematic,” Wilson added. “I don’t have time in my life to do that, and what I’m doing now. So, I guess I have made the decision, right now, to concentrate on the solo career. But that’s not to say that the band has broken up or anything like that. It’s always conceivable that we could get back together in a year or five years, or 10 years. I really can’t say. There are no plans at the moment.”

Doesn’t look good, my friend. I have always thought Steven Wilson’s best work was done with this group, but he seems to want to move on.

For some reason, he seems to be saving his best stuff now for solo works. Maybe he just doesn’t want to put his ideas up for debate and to be forced to make the compromises that inevitably come with being in a band. But then again, I always thought he more or less set the creative direction of PT, so who knows.
