He's just released a greatest hits collection, Infact that makes three albums in the last 3+ years, which is more work than he ever put in before.
Just imagine being a DS fan in the 1990s when you might wait 3+ YEARS before anything substantial would surface in your random issue of the Wire! I know it's been a few months since he's really interacted with his fanbase, but I believe his two young daughters take up most of his time; I think he'll be surfacing soon with some good news, just a hunch.
