    My recent interview with Steven Wilson

    Hey all,

    Sorry if this isn't the right place for this (although I'm pretty sure it is haha). Let me know what you think. BTW the new album is fantastic.

    I'm also interviewing Colin Edwin in about 40 minutes.

    Great interview, thanks for that.

    I loved his line, "The point is that when you make a record—well, I’ll tell you that one of the great, surreal things about being a musician and an artist who makes records is when you make a record that somebody doesn’t like, they will do their upmost to make you feel like you’ve done something wrong. I’ve done nothing wrong; it just doesn’t appeal to that person."

    Anyone still curious on SW's current thoughts on PT should definitely give this a read.

    Thanks for the great read! Grace For Drowning blew me away. In fact, I have the day off tomorrow and the house to myself, so I think I'll give it a spin. I'm looking forward to the new album very much.

    Agreed. I just spoke with Colin Edwin, too, and he seems rather pessimistic about PT these days. He basically said "nothing to report let's move on."

    good interview!

    I did find it odd, how more or less Steven looks more favorably on the PT I do not.

    I.e.,

    Stupid Dream over Lightbulb Sun
    In Absentia over Deadwing
    Fear of a Blank Planet over The Incident

    I feel the exact opposite about every one of those comparisons.

    But, I will give him, The Raven That Refused to Sing (And Other Stories) is better or more memorable than his other 2 solo records.
