Peter Gabriel returns with o\i, the follow-up and companion to his acclaimed 2023 album i/o. "The songs are a mix of thoughts and feelings," says Gabriel. "I have been thinking about the future and how we might respond to it." As we enter a period of transition shaped by AI, quantum computing and brain-computer interfaces, "artists have a role to look into the mists and, when they catch sight of something, to hold up a mirror." Recorded at Real World Studios, o\i features extraordinary musicians, two distinct mixes and artwork from leading artists.

A haunting, cinematic journey into a village that exists beyond time and place, Requiem For A Village is Steven Wilson's most intimate and imaginative work yet. Blending dark folk, rock and electronica, the album unfolds as a continuous 54-minute "film for the ears," populated by strange archetypes and eerie folklore. The album is narrated by David Tennant and written with Andy Partridge (XTC).<br/>Steven Wilson is one of contemporary music's definitive auteurs. A six-time Grammy nominee and founding member of Porcupine Tree, Wilson's last three solo albums have all been top 5 in the UK. His most recent albums have garnered career best reviews, including one that noted Wilson had somehow pulled off the unusual trick of being able to do whatever he wants, whilst still achieving a level of commercial success.<br/>A pioneer in the world of spatial audio, Wilson has recently remixed New Order, The Who, King Crimson, Suede, XTC and Tears For Fears among many others.

The superb new album by the legendary Pallas. A year in the making, the album unmistakably follows the line of Pallas albums but with some fundamental differences. The voices of all four band members are featured equally, with each musician taking a share of lead vocals and backing vocals with a focus on layered harmony vocals, a feature more in line with some of the band&#039;s earlier recordings. At first glance, the album&#039;s lyrics appear to make reference to Biblical events, politics, technology and conflict - but looking deeper, the album is ultimately about people and human interaction, relationships, moods and emotions; what inspires us as individuals and the contrast between our inner selves and what we let others see; how we pick ourselves up after falling; our vulnerabilities; our self-destructive tendencies making significant life changes. &#039;A Song For Tomorrow&#039; may be a legacy for the future, but it is very much a selection of songs for today.
