>>I'd actually prefer them to explore more new music and perhaps culminate in an album at some point. Touring beyond this year would be interesting as I would expect Harrison to have a bunch of commitments with Porcupine Tree in 2009.<<
My guess is that this is exactly what this mini tour is about, working out some new material to flesh it out for a recording. That's what they did with the last two.
I'm sure Gavin's involvement has to be limited. I'm looking forward to another PTree show.
I've been snagging the DVD-A releases as they are leaking out. Just got "Lightbulb Sun" and it is wonderful. "Stupid Dream" is on the way...
