PETER GABRIEL - I-O 2023.
Peter Gabriel remains true to himself without copying himself. The playing, singing and production are world class and we can feel that someone has put a lot of thought into the songwriting and lyrics.
With the support of such well-known and lesser-known collaborators as Tony Levin, David Rhodes, Manu Katché, Brian Eno, John Metcalfe, Linnea Olsson, Jennie Abrahamson, Ged Lynch and Josh Shpak, Gabriel achieves a very fresh, balanced and transparent sound.
The unmistakable voice of Peter Gabriel always takes centre stage.
P.G is in extremely impressive form.
24 TRACKS.

YES - MIRRORS TO THE SKY 2023 2cd.
This is a very important album for the band,” said Steve Howe back in March. Yes’ longest serving member was producer of the album this time round “We kept the continuity in the approach we established on The Quest, but we haven’t repeated ourselves. That was the main thing. As Yes did in the seventies from one album to another, we’re growing and moving forward. In later years, Yes often got going but then didn’t do the next thing. This album is demonstrative of us growing, and building again.” Going for the One, so to speak.
