“It was 37 years ago that ‘So’ was the number 1 album and I never expected to be here again. I’ve just been told that we are number 1 in the UK with i/o, so it’s amazing. I want to thank everyone that helped me make the album because it was a long, slow process, involving a lot of very talented people. But, mainly I need to thank all of you for supporting me for all this time and for making this happen. Thank you.” – pg

“I think there’s this sense very often that people seem to retain their 17 year old selves throughout life in some way, they may peg it at a different age but I don’t think people feel old internally or very rarely.” -pg

12 tracks of grace, gravity and great beauty that provide welcome confirmation of not only Peter’s ongoing ability to write stop-you-in-your-tracks songs but also of that thrilling voice, still perfectly, delightfully intact. Throughout the album the intelligent and thoughtful – often thought-provoking – songs tackle life and the universe.

“We have two of the greatest mixers in the world in Tchad and Spike and they definitely bring different characters to the songs. Tchad is very much a sculptor building a journey with sound and drama; Spike loves sound and assembling these pictures, so he’s more of a painter.” – PG
Both versions are included on the double-CD package, and are also available separately as double vinyl albums.

“Since our friend Paul Allen set up the @alleninstitute twenty years ago, it has built up an extraordinary team, working to map the brain and explore exactly how it functions. They have already made remarkable discoveries and will continue to transform our understanding of this fascinating universe that exists in our heads – and beyond. Big congratulations to everyone involved.“ – pg
