===Diversification and collaborations=== [[File:Steven Wilson acoustic.jpg|thumb|left|upright|Wilson in 1999]] During the late 1990s, Wilson's love of experimental, drone and ambient music led to a series of new projects, notably [[Bass Communion]] and [[Incredible Expanding Mindfuck]] (also known as IEM). He also began to release a series of CD singles under his own name. Having established himself as a producer, Wilson was invited to produce other artists, notably the Norwegian artist [[Anja Garbarek]] and Swedish progressive-metal band [[Opeth]]. Though he claims to enjoy production more than anything else, with the demands of his own projects, he has mostly restricted himself to mixing for other artists in the last few years.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.swhq.co.uk/guest.cfm|title=Guest Appearances - Steven Wilson Headquarters|access-date=2008-04-06|url-status=dead|archive-date=2012-08-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120812191133/http://www.swhq.co.uk/guest.cfm}}</ref> Wilson has written reviews for the Mexican edition of the ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' magazine.
