Steven Wilson from Porky Pine Tree:
> Q: Recently news broke about you helping Dream Theater on their upcoming
> album Systematic Chaos. How did you help them out?

> SW: It's kind of a weird story actually. They're doing this new record,
> and they've got this track on here called Redemption. It's all about
> regret for the things you've done that maybe hurt others, and the need
> to apologize for those things. And I thought about for a minute and I
> said "why don't I apologize for being negative in the press about
> Dream Theater!?". I've been very honest about my musical likes and
> dislikes in the press, and I even got in a heated discussion about
> going public with not being a fan of DT on your website. The thing is
> they are good friends of mine and they know I'm not really into their
> music. They don't mind it, but their fans get more irate about it,
> they're very passionate. It's a free country. I don't love Dream
> Theater; it's not my kind of music, but they're great people; Jordan
> is one of my best friends. Anyway, so I asked them "why don't I
> apologize on your record?" They said, "Great idea why don't you do
> it!". And I've heard the finished track, and it's amazing. I'm always
> happy to be proved wrong!
