Yes for over an hour. It was a great effort, thousands of questions, many repeated, some inane.

I'm very much focussing on my own music these days, but will certainly keep slotting in the remix projects whenever I can. The other already completed mixes, Roxy Music's debut and Tears for Fears "Seeds of Love", remain in a holding pattern. I hope both will come out next year, but then the Roxy album has been "next year" every year since I did it in 2012! In the meantime another set of XTC tapes from the Virgin era have been found, and I certainly plan to continue with the Tull series (This Was, Songs From the Wood...etc), so look out for these in 2017.
I'm still waiting for the call from Kate Bush haha![/I]
Finally, how come no one has caught this yet? "I certainly plan to continue with the Tull series (This Was, Songs From the Wood...etc), so look out for these in 2017." So it looks like besides the folk trilogy ("Songs from the Wood", "Heavy Horses", and "Stormwatch") SW will also be remixing "This Was" in surround sound. Fine by me, but all I ask is that they release at least "Songs from the Wood" first, so John (tootull), please do whatever you have to do to relay that message to the powers that be!
Thank you, and g'day, gents!
Is "Stormwatch" on the drawing board....or is it wishful thinking?
But the best news of all?! "In the meantime, another set of XTC tapes from the Virgin era have been found." AWESOME!!!
I hope it's one of the four albums from 1980 to 1984, which includes "Black Sea", "English Settlement", "Mummer", and "The Big Express". (Never really liked the first two albums that much.)
AFAIK, yes, it is on the drawing board, and that album should be the stopping point as far as Steven Wilson's involvement is concerned.
From what I remember, "Stormwatch" actually contains SW's favorite Jethro Tull song, which is the song entitled "Dun Ringill", so I can imagine he's greatly anticipating getting to remix that album!
Hopefully after that they can have someone like Jakko take over. I'd love to hear Broadsword and their Grammy-winning heavy metal album Crest of a Knave in 5.1 as well. @:
Update from FB today:

I think this is still the best quote. It seems ages since HCE and when I saw him at the Royal Albert Hall. Also I want him to do another Storm Corrosion with Mikael Akerfeldt.
Funny, I posted the same on SHF earlier today in reaction to SW's FB post.But the best news of all?! "In the meantime, another set of XTC tapes from the Virgin era have been found." AWESOME!!!

So, you're not fond of Black Sea & ES huh?
Those are the 2 I'm most hoping for.
Different strokes.
I believe he was referring to XTC's first two albums, none of these.

it's been 8 years since we have had a new album from no-man!
If SW can continue with one collaboration, why can't he continue with the other? Just a thought...
Tim is correct. The two XTC albums I am not very fond of are "White Music" and "Go 2", when they had a more keyboard-dominated sound before the great Dave Gregory joined!
I am actually in full agreeance with you, milt. If the next XTC remix is "Black Sea" or "English Settlement", that will make me one really happy panda!
