Yeah ok Captain Cheerful.

Actually I disagree.

It's £3 a month and will probably just run the year. You'll get all the singles which are £1.20 anyway and you get them in CD/HiRes quality (which was better sounding for Panopticom). You get an extended FMC videos and this one was excellent, going through the demo and some work in progress versions. Then as an extra there are three Back to Front Encores. These three are all among the strongest shows as reviewed here and across all three are the best versions of the unreleased tracks played.

So signing up for this month and then quitting you'll get about £20-30 value and those Encores are otherwise unavailable. Stick with the year and there'll be more to come. There are hints of B-sides. I doubt there are going to be physical singles or some deluxe CD package released. I also even wonder about a physical album -- PG Rated on CD was about a year after the digital release (the vinyl was novelty and played very badly).

It looks like a semi-reasonable plan, but it feels a bit disingenuous to get fans to sign up for this before setting out clearly what the full album release options look like.

Looks fantastic. Always love to hear more about the creative process, and PG is also taking feedback from fans re: what they might want to see. Sign me up!

That IS good news. Of course it needs some interesting content but he is willing to make additional stuff available. That’s good!

I have subscribed! I also hope for some unreleased material, not only demos.

At least you’re not paying up front and so you can quit at any time and keep the tracks. I’m hoping the fact there are payments might force regular updates and some value for money rather than fobbing us off. I thought it was off to a good start.

I’m increasingly thinking the album will be released in instalments and maybe only a final release (with different mixes) at the end of the year. This way Peter can continue to fiddle. For an album with a 21 year wait, he only seemed to start it 2020-2021. These aren’t tracks he’s had baked in for long.

This could be a nice offer! So let's just wait for the next full moon to see if it's worth the money.

I subscribed as well. I am just chomping at the bit for anything by the band in a group or solo setting, so this is exciting. I am also ready to see Peter live for the first time in my life and am hoping he might actually do a Genesis song for the first time in forever, given Sting got him to sing "Moonlit Knight" intro. Maybe that and seeing Genesis' last gig ever gave him some sense of nostalgia.

Interesting piece.
