Sound and Vision mag loves Wilson, and points out that he’s on the cover of the current issue (March 2009) of EM: Electronic Musician. Inside is a substantial interview focusing on Wilson’s new solo album, Insurgentes. You can read the interview here. And after you finish the final screen, be sure to click on the “Extended Interview” link.
What’s more, the current issue (April 4, 2009) of Billboard has Wilson’s byline on an “Opinion” article called “The Album Is Alive.” Subtitle: “Technology Doesn’t Mean the End for Extended Work — or Artistic Packaging.” You can read the editorial here.
Meanwhile, this year — like every year — will continue to be a busy one for Wilson. First up: the initial pair of King Crimson reissues, Lizard and Red, which he has remixed in surround. Which should just be freaking awesome. Plus a new Porcupine Tree studio album expected this fall.

busy boy as always – interesting to hear there is a new tree this year aswell … note also that OSI 3 and Orzic both feature elements of the Tree members in their new recordings

john, thanks for the post. A new Porcupine Tree album – this will be an interesting and anticipated album to see what direction it heads.
One of the commonalities across Porcupine Tree, the new OSI, O5Ric, and latest King Crimson tour is drummer Gavin Harrison (Modern Drummer's dummer of the year). Check out this performance at Drummer Live 2009: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5x4rnndeVg&feature=related
