Alan White interview (excerpt)

Rhythm: Prog rock has enjoyed a resurgence in recent years. Do you still listen to the old stuff?
Alan White: Yes, I do. The older music is not the same as some of the modern stuff that’s going around right now. but I enjoy listening to it, just as I enjoy listening to the new music. I really like listening to Dream Theater and Porcupine Tree and that kind of stuff. Those bands are trying to further the :music without playing the same thing that the older bands did. Let's see... I used to be a big fan of King Crimson, years ago, but I haven’t really heard much of their recent stuff. although I recently recorded an album over the internet with their bassist Tony Levin and an American guitarist called David Torn. The music is amazing – it was just a little trio and we had a lot of fun doing it.
